This study examines the relative contributions of linguistic and strategic competence to the performance of international teaching assistants (IT As) on a teaching task. Study 1 examines the relative contribution of language and teaching skills to overall test performance, whereas Study 2 examines the effect of a one-semester training class on the retest performance of IT As who initially did not pass the test. The results indicate that the extent to which language abilities are critical to the teaching task varies with the proficiency of the learner. Compensatory teaching strategies, which enable more proficient students to overcome linguistic weaknesses, do not have a strong effect for less proficient learners.
