Lecturers who have English as a second language have an excellent command of general English. However, sometimes, they find the use of specialised vocabulary and careful sentence structure problematic. They find it difficult to use academic English vocabulary – precise words and phrases – to create complex sentences which results in a reduced ability to communicate ideas clearly and effectively. The academic English language training is about improving the communication skills they have acquired in English but emphasising the specific vocabulary of their area of expertise resulting in a deeper understanding of the nuances of academic English.

ReadingWritingRithmetic focuses on improving the academic English-speaking proficiency of lecturers. The language training service provided by ReadingWritingRithmetic is more of a conversation – a chat between sparring partners because the more one speaks a language, the better one becomes in speaking it. The lecturer chooses a topic on which they want to lecture, and the trainer listens to the lecture, resulting in more practice time for the lecturer. The language trainer will encourage the lecturers to speak academic English during the language training. The language training programme of ReadingWritingRithmetic is intensive. You will practice speaking academic English, benefiting from instructor feedback. The language training is one-on-one and occurs strictly online.
