Faculty Resource Kit for Teaching Non-Native English Speakers in Native-Dominant Classrooms
This kit has been assembled as a resource for you, as the number of nonnative speakers in higher education continues to grow. The kit includes background information on who non-native speakers are as well as the basics of language acquisition. It offers ideas about how to address grammatical errors in written English, and how to get your non-native speakers more involved in class discussion. Finally, it provides two forms that you can copy and hand out on the first day of class.

Student Academic Accommodation Request (SAAR) (sample only)

The purpose of this form is to assist the College in providing reasonable academic accommodations to students with documented disabilities as mandated by Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title III of the American's with Disabilities Act of 1990. Documentation is on file with Disability Services (DS) and verification is available through that office. This form and the information it contains must be treated confidentially. This is a request of the instructor of the course to provide specific accommodations. The student will return the white copy to the Center for Academic Achievement or to Disability Services staff.
