The Arqus Alliance launches a new edition of its successful series “Weekly Language Workshops for Teaching in English” from 12th January to 4th March 2024.
Many teachers working at Europe’s higher institutions of learning today are faced with new challenges as they begin to teach their core subjects in English. Successful classroom learning requires leadership and engagement that not only stimulates student participation but also facilitates comprehension. For these purposes, language teachers and academics engaged in EMI (English as Medium of Instruction) may wish to boost their own language skills and exchange ideas with international colleagues in the context of a virtual mobility. This workshop series is designed to address these needs and more. [Full program here]
University students and lecturers have become increasingly aware of the need to acquire the necessary disciplinary language needed for academic success. In this workshop, we will explore ways to improve lexical choice and range in regard to subject-specific course content.
