New
Teaching
Fellow
Students
If
you
are
a TF
or TA
(not
RA)
who
is not
a native
English
speaker,
please
read
the
following
information
carefully.
By a
law
of Texas
State
and
a policy
of the
University
of Houston,
if one
of the
following
two
conditions
does
not
apply,
a TF
or TA
(not
RA)
must
take
the
Test
of Spoken
English
(TSE)
or Spoken
Proficiency
English
Assessment
Kit
(SPEAK)
and
score
at at
least
50:
(1)
The
student's
primary
spoken
language
is English;
or (2)
The
student
has
completed
baccalaureate
degree
requirements
at a
regionally
accredited
institution
in U.S.
or in
some
countries
where
English
is the
medium
of instruction.
SPEAK
is a
local
version
of TSE.
Based
on the
past
experiences,
it could
be very
difficult
for
some
students
to pass
SPEAK
(or
TSE).
Therefore,
we provide
an alternative
as follows:
The
department
requires
that
any
graduate
student
who
has
not
passed
SPEAK
test
must
take
the
course
LCC
6034:
English
for
International
Teaching
Assistants
and
Faculty,
which
is offered
by the
Language
and
Culture
Center
(LCC).
If you
pass
this
course,
it is
equivalent
to passing
the
SPEAK
test.
The
cost
$ 360
has
to be
paid
by the
students
by a
Texas
law.
This
course
is a
non-credit
course.
To register
for
this
course,
students
must
go to
the
LCC
between
Monday,
September
6 and
Friday,
September
10 (It
is not
a regular
registration).
The
registration
form
will
be available
in the
Roy
Cullen
Bilding
beginning
the
week
of August
30.
The
class
will
begin
in the
week
of September
13 (not
in the
first
week
of the
university).
Notice
that
the
prerequisite
of SPEAK
test,
based
on an
agreement
between
the
Math
Department
and
LCC,
can
be waived
for
new
students
who
obviously
cannot
pass
SPEAK
test.
This
course
will
be three
hours
of class
per
week.
Its
schedule
is:
MW or
TTh,
4:00-5:30
pm for
twelve
weeks.
Notice
that
it is
possible
that
the
instructor
could
change
schedule
to fit
with
mojarity
students'
time
schedules.
For
more
information,
please
contact
the
Director
of Graduate
Studies.
If you
are interested
in a Teaching
Assistantship,
please
have your
application
completed
by March
15.
Teaching
Assistantships
are generally
offered
for students
beginning
in the
Fall semester.
