Abstract

International teaching assistants (ITAs) play integral roles at colleges and universities. However, there is a dearth of research on ITA training and support. This study indicates that more pedagogical training and sociocultural support results in smoother cultural adaptation and greater teaching confidence and self-efficacy.
