ALLEX Program Interviews Completed in Asia

Members of the ALLEX Academic Team spent a total of seven days in December and January in Asia interviewing candidates for the Teaching Associate and Teaching Fellow Programs. Of the more than 200 candidates who submitted paper applications at the pre-interview screening stage, about eighty were invited to the final matching stage where just over thirty teachers will be awarded a position in the United States.

The interviews consisted of two rigorous individual sessions with ALLEX staff and affiliated professors. In Japan, the interview was held at Waseda University; in Taiwan the OhStudy office served as site host.

On January 22, 2011 ALLEX teachers participated in a full day Refresher Workshop hosted by the SPEAC Program of the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State University led by Professor Mari Noda, a specialist in East Asian language pedagogy. Professor Noda was joined by a team of four specialists including Masayuki Itomitsu, Steven Knicely, Virginia Marcus, and Yongfang Zhang. Thank you to SPEAC for being such a great host. We wish all the ALLEX teachers great success in their teaching this coming semester!
