About the Course

Thinking about teaching your university subject in English but it’s not the Language you normally use? Then, English for teaching purposes is the course for you. A course on English and teaching methodology that aims to help university lecturers do their teaching in English, in line with university internationalisation policies. The course structure is the same for all learners and there are opportunities for them to link up with colleagues from universities all over the world who share the same discipline and discourse community, to ask questions and exchange ideas. This MOOC targets lecturers who wish to begin using English in their teaching. A priori, this means university lecturers from countries where English is not the L1 or a widely-used language (Romance language-speaking countries, for example), though in fact the course is open to teachers from all educational stages who want to teach through English, following the principles of EMI (English Medium Instruction). On completing the course, you should be able to do the following. a) Teach a university subject in English, having gained the necessary confidence and skills. b) Integrate all aspects of CLIL (methodological, pedagogical, strategic, attitudinal, motivational, linguistic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic) to put together their own English-medium course on their particular subject. c) Describe the characteristics of the university lecture discourse genre (planning, agents, channels, phases, dynamics, and current flexibility of the genre). d) Understand and perform the basic linguistic macro-functions within English teaching discourse. e) Understand and perform, using the appropriate linguistic exponents (vocabulary, structures, and phraseology), the main micro-functions in English teaching discourse: metalinguistic, informative, evaluative, inductive, and social. f) Consolidate their oral expression and interaction skills, and their grammar and vocabulary, at English levels C1 and C2 as defined by the Council of Europe. English for Teaching Purposes is a course provided by the Language Service at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)....

This course is exceptional, there are all the activities like how to facilitate students with different approaches, and how to deal with the different students and their learning.

However, the language used was a bit difficult for me, but I managed because the course gives satisfaction.

I am very tthankful to Ms. Silvia Solá Viñals. The way that she explained the topics were great. However, some parts of the explanation needs some more examples.

I wish your team all the best.

El curso es bastante interesante y fácil de seguir. Pero lo veo más bien orientado para personas que nunca hayan dado clase antes, ya que si has impartido algún tipo de docencia ya conoces la mayoría de los consejos y ayuda que te puede ofrecer

Si tienes un C1 de inglés, este curso te sirve para repasar algun cocepto pero poco más. Realmente lo que explica es como organizar una clase. Si llevas tiempo siendo profesor es una información conocida.
