di ELCS - The English Language Consultancy Service
The number of Masters degrees in Europe that are fully taught in English has risen 42 per cent since 2011. This is due to the increasing demand for an English-medium higher education, according to the Institute of International Education (IIE).
Lecturers in a variety of subjects suddenly find that they have to acquire a new skill in order to progress in their careers: that of lecturing in English. The London School of English (LSE) group has developed a course that not only raises participants’ awareness and understanding of different cultures and learning styles, but also gives them the confidence to deliver lectures and to interact with their students in English.
Founded in 1912 and based in Holland Park, LSE is the oldest accredited English language school in the world and it specializes in high quality courses in English for Specific Purposes. Its sister school, CLT in Canterbury, offers the same programme for lecturers: this is a one-week intensive course of six hours per day in groups of no more than eight students with a B2-C1 level of English.
Participants also benefit from networking with fellow lecturers from a variety of countries and institutions over lunch.
