E Iowa State University, like many other institutions, has recently developed a program for screening potential teaching assistants (TAs) who are nonnative speakers (NNSs)-to see whether they have the necessary speaking proficiency and teaching skills to be placed in undergraduate classrooms-and for training those who demonstrate deficiencies. From the beginning, in 1984, we have attempted to assess the effectiveness of the program to discover how we could improve it and have reported to interested parties (students, their parents, administrators, and state legislators) how well we were succeeding. This report describes some of our measures and results
