This two-day workshop equips participants for the challenge of teaching in English to students from both Germany and across the globe. Participants learn to navigate the intercultural aspects of teaching and learning, including the use of appropriate and inclusive language. They also gain insight into students’ diverse perspectives and discover effective strategies to generate student engagement. Putting theory into practice, the two days culminate in a teaching practice session, after which participants receive in-depth feedback from their instructor and colleagues.
