IES Abroad International Student Assistantship Program 2015-2016 I nternationalize your campus and bring valuable linguistic and cultural resources to your students through the IES Abroad Student Assistantship program. This program connects U.S. universities with highly-qualified international students who are eager to obtain teaching experience, share their native culture, act as study abroad resources, and study in the United States. How the Program Works The IES Abroad Student Assistantship Program is designed to connect you with a pool of highly-qualified undergraduates and graduate students from IES Abroad’s overseas partner institutions. You select the best candidate for the position at your university. IES Abroad contacts the student with your offer. If the candidate accepts your offer, the student will work for one academic year as a Student Assistant in your language department, Resident Assistant in an international residence hall, Teaching Assistant, or a combination of the above. In return, you determine the award package that your institution will provide for your student assistant. Award packages include all or a combination of the following: tuition waiver, room, board, insurance, small stipend. Profiles of Possible Positions for Student Assistants The responsibilities of Student Assistant are determined by your institution. Below are a few of the most common positions assigned to Student Assistants. ▪ Language Department Assistant: Department Assistants may work in an administrative capacity, assist students with conversational aspects of the language in foreign language laboratories, or organize cultural events. ▪ Teaching Assistant: Used at the undergraduate and graduate level, TAs may assist professors with lesson preparations, instruction in the classroom, or with corrections of student papers and tests. Occasionally, the TA may team teach and offer the conversation component of a language course. ▪ Foreign Language Resident Hall Assistant: Resident Assistants usually live in language residence halls or houses and are responsible for promoting the everyday use of their native language.
