Teaching Assistantship (TA)

Teaching Assistantships are usually awarded to MA students. Applicants may compete for all appropriate Graduate School fellowships. The Chinese/Japanese program itself awards each year a number of fellowships and teaching assistantships. Teaching normally involves instruction in the elementary or intermediate Mandarin or Japanese language courses.

To Apply

Please submit the following materials to dalc@colorado.edu. 

  • Statement describing your previous language learning and teaching experience (2-3 pages).
  • A five-minute audio/video recording of yourself speaking Chinese or Japanese (a combination of self-introduction and reading a sample of modern Chinese or Japanese prose is best). If you are not a native speaker of English, please also include a few minutes of self-introduction in English. You can either attach a file or send a link to the video recording.
