Writing Fellows Programm
TUM Writing Fellows sind muttersprachliche (oder beinahe muttersprachliche) englischsprachige Studierende, die als Lehrassistent/innen in Lehrveranstaltungen mit einem Schwerpunkt auf schriftlicher Arbeit und regelmäßig im English Writing Center tätig sind. Das Programm hat das langfristige Ziel, Fellows in jeder der 7 Schools der TUM zu gewinnen. So werden Studierende aller Studienprogramme der TUM zukünftig mit Fellows arbeiten können, die sowohl Expert/innen im Schreiben auf Englisch, als auch kompetent im Fachgebiet der Studierenden sind.
Schulung
Writing Fellows werden aufgrund ihrer nachweislich exzellenten schriftlichen Englischkenntnisse, sowie ihrer Begeisterung diese in ihren Rollen als Studierende und Tutoren weiterzuentwickeln eingestellt. Writing Fellows müssen ein straffes Trainingsprogramm absolvieren, das unter anderem Arbeit vor Ort, Selbststudium, gemeinsames Lernen und Üben mit anderen Fellows und das Betreuen eines fortgeschrittenen Englishkurses im Sprachenzentrum als Lehrassistent beinhaltet. Der erfolgreiche Abschluss des Trainings wird mit einem Zertifikat als Tutor für English belohnt, welches zusammen mit TUM ProLehre | Media and Didactic ausgestellt wird und an allen bayerischen Hochschulen anerkannt ist.
