Duties of Foreign Fellows
Some language departments pre-schedule the times of the conversation sessions facilitated by the Foreign Fellows. If there is an occasional conflict with an academic course that the Foreign Fellow would like to take or needs to take to fulfill a requirement at her home university, she should contact the department to see if an accommodation can be made. However, this may not always be possible.
Before Foreign Fellows begin their duties, each language department will supply them with the following information:
A written summary of the Foreign Fellow's departmental responsibilities in the form of guidelines. Here are links to the guidelines for each language:
-
A copy of all course materials for each course in which the Foreign Fellow is assisting as well as access to the course web site or ELLA site.
-
A weekly outline of what to do in each conversation session to be discussed with the course instructor (procedure in some departments) or a detailed syllabus so that Foreign Fellows know how to plan each session.
-
A list of the students in each conversation session, as well as meeting place and time for each session.
-
Keys to the language department office (supplied by the department’s administrative assistant).
-
Access to a copy (xerox) machine and instructions on the procedure for making photocopies.
During the semester Foreign Fellows should meet regularly with the department liaison and with instructors of the courses with which they are assisting.
Questions or problems should be addressed to the following individuals (in this order):
1. The language department liaison (a professor).
2. The chair of the language department.
3. Donna Van Handle, Dean of International Students.
