Every academic year we invite two French- Spanish- and German-speakers to live and
work with us at the college. Native
Speakers Teaching Assistants are university students in their early
twenties from French, Spanish,
or German-speaking countries that spend one academic year at Albion
college as a
special non-degree students.
The
native speakers are a vital component to the Foreign Language Department,
as well as to the Gerstacker International House. Due to
their role in the Language Department and in the International
House, Native Speakers hold a special position of respect at Albion
College.
They lead language tutorials to help students work on their
conversational skills and they also
organize
educational cultural activities and other events for language students. They also plan and conduct
weekly activities for residents in
each particular language house in I-House. In addition, as members
of the International House Council, native speakers attend and help
organize
bi-weekly meetings where all I-House residents gather for social
or cultural activities.
