Welcome! Your class has a large number of international students enrolled. As a result, you have an English for Art Purposes (EAP) support instructor trained in English language teaching assigned to your class.

What will my EAP support instructor do?

Provide English language support to students in order to:

Promote student comprehension of lectures, demos, assignments, and/or quizzes/exams
Help students effectively communicate during critiques and presentations

EAP support instructors work in collaboration with you to bridge gaps in language and content. You are the content expert and your support instructor has expertise in second language teaching and learning. They are not translators, teaching assistants, co-teachers, or evaluators. While their priority is international students, the support they provide can benefit domestic students as well.

How would you like your EAP support instructor to work with you and your students?

Check in with me before/after class or during breaks about the class agenda, assignments, or student progress.

Circulate and quietly provide language assistance to individual students during class time. [For onsite virtual Zoom classes – Use the chat feature and/or breakout rooms to help students]*

Participate as needed in class discussions, demos, and/or critiques to clarify key points/vocabulary.Offer a 1-hour study group each week outside of class with students. [For onsite virtual Zoom classes – Study groups will be held on Zoom]**Email students to reinforce class assignments or reminders.(Check all that apply)

Need tips for working with your international students?

You can also opt-in to receive feedback from your EAP support instructor on best practices for effectively teaching the second language learners in your class. Please note: EAP support instructors are not evaluators and it is not appropriate for a support instructor to critique your teaching. However, these instructors are trained in language teaching methodology and – with your permission – may be able to provide tips to make your efforts with the students more successful.
