| Advanced
Fluency Challenges |
 |
Tuesday through Thursday, May 20 - June 4, 10:00am - 12:00pm
Cyert Hall A50
This workshop focuses on building the robust academic fluency needed to handle the demands students face at Carnegie Mellon.
In this workshop, students will practice building this fluency through regular, focused speaking activities. In addition,
students will also learn valuable communication strategies that will help them compensate for language gaps they
may have in their current speaking skills.
| Language
and Culture for Teaching |
|
Monday through Friday, May 19 - June 6, 10:00am - 12:00pm
Cyert Hall A55
This class helps nonnative English speakers begin to develop the skills needed to be successful as teaching assistants (TAs).
Students will gain a better understanding of the US/ Carnegie Mellon classroom and culturally appropriate teaching
techniques, and be better prepared to take on the role of "instructor". Students will also learn how to better
communicate their knowledge and expertise to learners by: 1) working on aspects of pronunciation crucial for the
classroom, 2) developing an awareness of key aspects of teaching fluency, 3) having frequent opportunities to
practice building aspects of teaching fluency, and 4) learning to compensate effectively for their individual
language problems. Each student will have the opportunity to give two videotaped presentations on topics from
their fields and then to meet with the instructor for extensive feedback and coaching.

Basics |

Monday through Thursday, May 19 - June 4, 1:30pm - 2:50pm
Cyert Hall A55
This workshop helps graduate students who are nonnative English speakers develop the fluency and skills needed to give successful
presentations at Carnegie Mellon. The workshop covers audience awareness, organizing language and presentation
techniques, and the importance of stress and intonation in presenting. There is ample time for practice and
feedback, both in a series of small group mini-talks, and in a final videotaped presentation. At the end of the
workshop, students meet individually with the instructor for extensive feedback and coaching.
