Every academic year we invite French-, Spanish-, and German-speakers to live and
work with us at the College. Native
Speaker 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 Modern Languages &
Cultures Department,
as well as to the I-Space. Due to
their role in the Language Department and in the I-Space, 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-Space. In addition, as members
of the I-Space Council, native speakers attend and help organize
bi-weekly meetings where all I-Space residents gather for social
or cultural activities.
