Required English Language Assessment for International Teaching Assistants (ITAs)
Required English Language Assessment for International Teaching Assistants (ITAs)
The School of Graduate Studies, in collaboration with the Graduate English Language Learners Program (Grad ELL), requires that non-native English speaking graduate students awarded a teaching assistantship take the Versant English Placement Test (VEPT). The VEPT assessment ensures that incoming ITAs have the oral English needed to teach undergraduate students. It is a requirement for ITAs in all graduate departments.
Depending on the results of the assessment, students may be required to take one or two courses through the Graduate English Language Learners (Grad ELL) Instructional and Mentoring Program for Teaching Assistants.
