This paper reports the findings of a follow-up project to a study investigating university programs in Japan which utilize international students as teaching assistants (TAs). It included both the TAs and teachers from these programs. The previous study upon which this project was based concluded that while there were both professional and personal benefits to undertaking the role of TA, programs utilizing international students as TAs had yet to attain all the potential advantages of these students’ employment. By informing the participants of this project of the earlier findings, the intent was to clarify and elucidate the original conclusions. Interviews with 31 international student TAs from Kyushu University and Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) and 17 teachers from APU were transcribed and analyzed for similarities in the comments. The results suggest the programs at the two universities are providing important personal and professional experience for the TAs, but the program could be further expanded to assist the goals of both the university and the TAs themselves.
