20 professors of UrFU attended advanced training course "English as a media of instruction" organized by the Department of International Education Programs. The aim of this course is to improve programs in English and to create new ones.
The entry requirement was to have level of English not lower than B2, the course was free.
The course consisted of 5 modules:
The head of the course is Director of the Center for Project Training and Support of Online Courses, Ural Federal University Ivan Zamoshchansky who also lecturered on the first day of training. Prof. Zamoshchansky told the group about training method and introduced different training games to show the effectiveness of this method.
"We see that lectures as the way of teaching become old-fashioned. There is plenty of information in the Internet. The lecture will be worthwhile only if the lecturer is a good speaker who is capable to involve the audience," explains Prof. Zamoshchansky.
Department of International Education Programs invited Elena Eyngorn from TU Berlin and Sophie Thiebaut from Thomas More University to be lecturers for this course. They told professors about active forms of learning, soft skills, oratorical skill and how to work with international students.
On the second day each participant prepared 5-minute presentation in English and after that the Lecturer together with group gave a feedback. On the last day the participants had to do presentation one more time with suggested improvements.
In the end of the course each participant received the Certificate of completion of advanced training course from the Director of the Department of International Education Programs Iana Vysotskaya.
"Thank you to all of you for the hard work and that you found time in between your lectures to complete this training course. We are planning to do similar courses in future and hope you will continue to actively participate in them", says Mrs. Vysotskaya to the participants.
"I really liked the course and can see the results. I feel inspired and ready to improve further work," says one of the participants.
