The fellowship will entail instructing a diverse student body of Nepalese college students in
oral and written English comprehension, focusing on improving international proficiency
throughout their tenure at DWIT. The fellow will be expected to quickly assess the language
proficiency of all students and then develop a diverse curriculum to address the different
levels of proficiency. The fellow will be responsible for teaching one class to each of the
four grade levels. Class size is a maximum of 24 students, with a total of 48 students per grade
level. Students have learned best when professors use blended learning techniques including pop
culture, current events, social media and experiential learning. Such practices better equip IT
students to perform in international jobs where they interact with English speakers from multiple
backgrounds. Every class needs a minimum of a lesson plan, midterm exam and final exam. However,
continuous feedback through written exercise, oral recording and group skill building has proven
successful. Each student arrives at DWIT with a diverse set of skills and talents. A successful
teacher is able to harness student creativity, talents and non-technical interests to engage the
class. Length of fellowship: 5-10 months (option to stay for a half or full school year).
