More Description
This issue uses the powerful narrative of autoethnography to make visible the existence of international professors and teaching assistants who speak English as a Second Language. These important, but often invisible, individuals contribute daily to the education of students within the US postsecondary educational system.
This volume covers a variety of experiences, such as:
- Faculty of color teaching intercultural communication
- International teaching assistants' attitudes toward their US students
- The challenges to existing cultural assumptions in the US classroom.
These experiences--in the form of challenges and contributions--are foregrounded and highlighted in their own right.
