Unless they are exempt for the reasons described below, all non-native English-speaking TAs who will be assigned classroom duties as part of a graduate teaching assistantship are required to take the 51ÁÔÆæ International Teaching Assistant Assessment (MITAA) before or during orientation. Information on this test is available from the ELA office and from the Center for International Education. A Department representative must be available to participate in the assessment. There is no charge for the MITAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note:<\/strong> There are two primary exceptions to the MITAA requirement for International Teaching Assistants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some 51ÁÔÆæ Schools or Departments may have higher requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the MITAA reveals that the prospective ITA’s language proficiency is inadequate, the y will be required to take a course in oral English skills (EAP 435) at their own expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information visit this website of the English Language Academy<\/a> (ELA): or email: el-academy@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37709,"parent":323,"menu_order":2,"template":"","class_list":["post-591","handbook","type-handbook","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
