Our mission is (1) to provide support to help nonnative English speakers (NNES) improve the language and cultural skills needed to succeed in their academic programs; (2) to help international teaching assistants (ITAs) and faculty develop the skills they need to provide effective instruction in the US; and (3) to help both the university and departments identify and respond to the changing needs of nonnative English speakers and international students. | ||
