Teaching with International Students (TwINS): Introduction

Established in 2019, Teaching with International Students (TwINS) is a faculty learning community focusing on exploring pedagogies of teaching in the college classrooms where there are international students. The major goals of this new FLC are:

• to learn more about the different groups of international students
• the processes that international students go through before and during their studies in the United States
• their needs, struggles and successes during their studies
• their acculturation process
• advocacy for international students on campus and beyond 
• community and career engagement for international students
• the college-level teaching pedagogies and differentiated instruction for international students in order to help them succeed in our classes. 

Secondary goal:

• have faculty share their experiences when taking SU students on study abroad
