The University of Warwick is delighted to introduce this professional development programme designed for lecturers working in globally-orientated universities and who are teaching academic subjects through the medium of English to home and international students. The EMI programme can be delivered as a 4-week or 8-week programme, depending on your needs and will take place in Autumn 2023. Its focus is on improving participants' English language proficiency and equipping them with the pedagogical techniques needed to teach academic content in English to students of diverse cultural backgrounds and for whom English is not their language. The programme also includes opportunities for observation and networking within the University. All of our courses are designed and taught by faculty of Warwick Applied Linguistics, with guest lecturers brought in from the wider university when required.

The cost for our Autumn EMI course is £3475 per month.
