Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Program (FLTA) |
Benefits |
IIE provides FLTA participants with J-1 Visa Sponsorship and placement at a U.S. host institution at a private or public elementary or secondary school, college or university.
Hosting an FLTA is an excellent and economical way to strengthen and expand language department offerings at the U.S. institutions.
All FLTAs can be assigned diverse duties at their host institutions and are not limited to working exclusively in a formal classroom setting. Each institution is free to tailor the program to meet their unique needs. The ability of the teaching assistants to engage their students informally is quite often the key to successful language learning. Institutions often program extracurricular activities into the teaching assistant's work schedules such as sponsoring community/university lectures, hosting social events, and leading conversation groups. Many teaching assistants live in residence halls and/or language houses and engage in other types of informal activities with their students daily.
