Abstract

The increasing number of non-native speakers of English (NNSEs) among graduate assistants and adjunct faculty presents new challenges to those who supervise laboratory education. Presented here is an overview of a training program for NNSE graduate assistants which comprises three components: cross-cultural communication, pedagogy, and language. Additionally, selected sources of information about such programs are provided.
