Type: Arqus Plurilingual and Intercultural Hub
Format: Online
Open to: Academics & researchers, Teachers
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]
First session:
Practising cohesion and flow
In academic texts, cohesive devices serve to link ideas and create a logical flow with and between sentences. In this workshop, we will explore the role that cohesive devices play in the creation of academic texts and presentations and practice strategies for teaching these important linguistic elements in the classroom.
