Along with their studies, FLTAs teach language courses, supervise language labs, and lead language table discussions. FLTAs may serve as an instructor of a foreign language class or be a teaching assistant. FLTAs may also act as resource persons in conversation groups, cultural representatives, coordinators of extra-curricular activities, guest speakers in civilization courses, heads of language clubs, houses, tables and much more.
