Attitudes of foreign teaching assistants and American students at UIUC and their influence on the students' evaluations of foreign teaching assistants

This research reports on foreign teaching assistants' (FTAs') language competence at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign by examining the evaluations of language and teaching skills of FTAs' students. It also examines the attitudes of FTAs and their students, and investigates whether students' or FTAs' attitudes have any influence on the students' evaluations of their FTAs. The results determined possible ways for improvement and development of training programs for FTAs.
