Weiterbildung: "Teaching in English I – Basic to pre-intermediate (B1)"

"Teaching in English I – Basic to pre-intermediate (B1)"

Instructor: Lorraine Mannion, Dolmetscherin/Übersetzerin

The aim of this workshop is to offer professors and prospective professors the opportunity to refine their English language skills in order to teach their academic disciplines in English.

Contents

The focus will be on essential presentations techniques, comfortably handling visual aids in the seminar room and strengthening the lexical tools required for giving lectures in English in an academic environment. The workshop is not intended to train participants pedagogical skills teaching, but to develop the ability to apply English to the teaching skills one already has. This workshop is primarily aimed at participants who have not had the chance to practice their English very much and have had little exposure to English since school.

Target group

Participants should have at least basic knowledge of English, but wish to expand their grammatical and spoken competencies in English in order to express their thoughts more fluently.
