Description

The programme follows an English-medium instruction (EMI) approach and addresses not only topics related to teaching academic content specific to different disciplines but also cross-cultural issues underlying the teaching and the learning process. The programme consists of eight contact sessions, which focus on a variety of topics related to teaching academic content to multilingual and multicultural student groups. The contact sessions are complemented by teaching observation followed by individual consultation. During the programme, participants compile a teaching portfolio. The contact sessions provide stimulating opportunities for cross-disciplinary discussion, collaborative teaching, and critical reflection.
