The FLTA and Teaching
The Fulbright FLTA Program provides young teachers of English as a Foreign Language the opportunity to refine their teaching skills and broaden their knowledge of American cultures and customs while strengthening the instruction of foreign languages at colleges and universities in the United States. The opportunity to improve your teaching skills is almost limitless at Notre Dame, and the CSLC will support you in strengthening those skills. Notre Dame has many presentations and workshops across different departments that allow you to refine your teaching practices.
Each FLTA’s duties are different and depend on the needs of the department they will be teaching. There are two teaching roles for FLTAs at Notre Dame:
Teaching Assistant (TA)
Instructor of Record
