Feedback - Lecture
"The feedback provided was very helpful {...} and included both postive feedback on strengths and constructive feedback on potential approaches and exercises to enhance English skills [...]. In particular, innaccurate pronunciation and syllable stress can lead to misunderstandings for students. I highly recommend a classroom observation and feedback meeting for colleagues who teach in English to an international classroom."
Prof. Dr. Thomas Brox
Institute for Computer Science
Chair for Pattern Recognition and Image Processing
"I found the classroom observation of my lecture very useful.. [...] One learns a lot [...] and discovers a few surprising language mistakes. The feedback really helped me to become more aware of and better manage interactive scenarios in English during my lecture. I would recommend staff members who teach their subjects in English to use this EMI service."
Dr. Krisztina Kis-Katos
Faculty of Economics and Behavioral Sciences
Chair for International Economic Policy
"I got an intense feedback on my lecture with regard to both language and didactic. What really opened my eyes was the feedback on my self-assessment. Here, Gregg and Susanne put the behaviour of the students in an intercultural background. Plus, they recommended which services would improve my English teaching."

Feedback - Consultations and Workshops
"The opportunity to have slides proofread was very useful [...] and helped me to adjust language for very specific concepts so that it could be more clearly presented with the proper terminology. The opportunity to have exams proofread was and is very helpful to ensure exercises were clearly explained and thus avoid any future potential student objections."
Prof. Stephan Lengsfeld
Faculty for Economics and Behavioral Sciences
Chair for Finance, Accounting, and Controlling
"The meetings increased my self-confidence concerning teaching in English. Furthermore I learned a lot of expessions, phrases and “tricks” that facilitated structuring of the lecture and communication with the students."
Dr Heiko Winter
Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources
"Since the support was directly related to my own lecture and was given in a one on one coaching, I benefited a lot. In particular, I was able to remove wrong language phrases, work on my pronunciation and get very useful hints on how to better interact with students in English."
Dr Regina Rhodius
Faculty of Environment and Natural Resource
Feedback- Teaching in English Course for Doctoral Candidates
"I improved my skills to communicate with students and to interact and include them in the lesson. I also found it useful to learn more about setting up a lesson, group work, and giving feedback to students while learning some English expressions."
Sabine Sané
Faculty of Engineering
Department of Microsystem Engineering
"I improved my pace of talking in class and interaction with students. The mini-lectures and teaching exercises provide a good opportunity to learn from each other and reflect on my own problems. I also found writing feedback helpful and the supplementary materials were very well organized."
Li Li
Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources
Chair of Wildlife Ecology and Management
"I learned how to better organize a lecture and include questions in my lecture. Plus, the recorded mock teaching exercise helped me a lot."
