Teaching Assistantships | The Department of Linguistics encourages graduate students to apply for the Department's teaching assistantships. There are three kinds of teaching assistantships. First, there are ESL teaching assistantships. ESL TAs must either be native speakers of English or have native-like proficiency in English. Graduate students receiving these assistantships will be assigned to teach ESL credit courses at the 1000 level. There are also Linguistics teaching assistantships. Graduate students receiving these awards work with the professors for LING 1200 and LING 3200. There may also be a non-teaching assistantship. This person will gain experience in administration and research. Assistantships provide a tuition waiver of 50% to 100% based on the pay for the classes taught or work assigned. The remaining tuition paid by the students is always calculated at in-state rates, regardless of the student's residency. Students also receive a stipend. The stipend varies depending on the classes taught and whether the graduate student is an M.A. or Ph.D. student. ESL teaching assistants taught two or three classes in the academic year. Teaching three classes qualifies students for a 100% tuition waiver. In addition, teaching assistants are given office space within the Department of Linguistics. Before applying, it is important to note that there is a required week-long orientation and writing seminar for all new ESL teaching assistants the week before classes begin in August. Specific dates will be announced when they become available. Students who are awarded assistantships must come to the orientation all day from 8AM to 5PM. Linguistics teaching assistants are required to attend the first day of department TA orientation as well as the campus wide TA orientation. Please submit application to Kate Lythgoe at LNCO 2300. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact Kate Lythgoe at kate.lythgoe@linguistics.utah.edu or Shantel de Arraiz at shantel.dearraiz@linguistics.utah.edu. All graduate students are eligible to apply for scholarships. Normally, students awarded teaching assistantships are not considered for department scholarships. Students may apply for both but may not accept both. University of Utah financial aid and scholarship information is available at www.sa.utah.edu/finance and department scholarship information is on the Department of Linguistics website.
