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)....

I got this message on 26/5/20 although I received my verified certificate pass on 21/2/20 . This sort of thing amounts to terrorism, and it happens all the time with online and software companies, which is tiresome and exhausting to the point of murder.

All the site says is 'course completed', 'download your certificate', which was done in February.

I am sorry to say that there was one interested video about pronunciation , nothing else. It is a waste of time. The questions to pass are so uninteresting.

Sorry but I don't think that this is a good course.

don't loose your time

The teachers have a strong Spanish accent and they fail in what they try to teach: improving.

As a whole I consider it to be a great course for teachers who will need to teach classes in English. If you have taught before, you will find some familiar teaching tips. However, there are a lot of things to learn from this course even if you're an experienced teacher.
