Teaching in English: Advanced Language Skills
Target Group
Any course instructors who already have experience of teaching students using English as a medium of instruction and / or are otherwise experienced teachers who are preparing to teach in English.
Workshop Goals
This workshop aims to provide the participants with the opportunity to reflect on their current use of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) and to receive instruction on how to strengthen and enhance their language and communicative skills. In so doing they will gain insights into how to deliver their lessons to students even more effectively in English.
Workshop Content
The participants will be able to analyse and improve their use of English as a medium of instruction through structured input material and tasks which will break down the language into various elements, including
- understanding of the nuances of syntax and semantics in delivering content
- fine-tuning pronunciation and grammar (if required)
- using discourse markers and other linguistic elements to properly structure content
- using rhetorical devices to aid comprehension
The participants will then be encouraged to practise these elements in their own teaching contexts by preparing and conducting short simulated lesson extracts of their own courses.
Methods
- Practical, foucssed language tasks and role-plays provide each participant with ample opportunity to practise
- Video analysis used for individual feedback
- Opportunity to practise segments of participants’ own teaching content
- Peer feedback and group discussions used to enhance refective process
- Multi-stage workshop designed to maximise effect of regular practice
- Variety of exercise types offer interesting and effective learning environment
- Small group size allows opportunity to discuss individual needs
