  • CTLE Annual Teaching Symposium 2017 TITLE: Working with International Students: Meet them Where they Are This session will offer one library faculty member’s experience with teaching foundational research skills to English language learners. Whether you find yourself at the beginning of your teaching career or anywhere along the road of experience, sometimes we just don’t know that we don’t know. We often make assumptions about students In our classes based on our own experiences when we were developing as students, as well as a teacher. All students come from varied backgrounds, but educational cultures can vary drastically from country to country, which are often masked or invisible in our classrooms. This session intends to offer perspective on the development of strategies to reach our international students in order to increase their success. Presentation, Presented, 08/14/2017.
