For Language Instructors

“Thanks to a thorough orientation, as well as day-to-day support from my coordinator, I have grown to feel confident as an instructor of undergraduates and am very gratified with the experience. Collaborating with colleagues, in addition to pedagogy workshops in the department, has given me the tools to develop as an educator and ultimately be successful.””

“Being a Teaching Fellow at BC has been an invaluable experience! Department-sponsored trainings and workshops, including visitors from the Cervantes Institute, have helped me develop teaching strategies that I then get to employ in the classroom. Instructing BC students is truly a joy, and I believe that I am a more well-rounded person and better prepared for life after graduation.”

“My teaching experience within the Hispanic Studies section has been characterized by pedagogical support that has facilitated my independence in the classroom. I have been guided by language coordinators with years of valuable experience; their direction, advice, and backing established the steady foundation on which I have built my teaching. At the same time, I have been given the professional freedom to teach in a style that suits my personality and my own teaching philosophy. I believe that this combination of guidance and autonomy has made me both a more confident and a more competent language instructor.”

“My time as a Teaching Fellow at Boston College has been the ultimate highlight of my teaching experience. Students at BC are top notch, and sharing a classroom with them kept me, as the professor, always thinking critically and creating lessons that would motivate them and compel them in their learning. This was made possible by the help and instruction of my coordinator, who modeled many excellent teaching methods, yet encouraged creativity within the classroom of each professor. This win-win combination produced an unforgettable experience.”
