| Support for Teachers using English as a Medium of Instruction (STEMI) | Would you like to communicate more clearly and confidently in English while teaching and interacting with students? Would you appreciate receiving constructive and confidential feedback on your English oral skills, perhaps in preparation for a sabbatical abroad? Whether you are a novice or an experienced instructor, this programme offers personalised support tailored to your needs. The programme is designed to refine the teaching and communication skills of professors, lecturers, and doctoral students who use English as their medium of instruction. Areas of support can include pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and diction, clear communication of instructions, writing teaching scripts, interacting with students, and creating clear lecture slides. After identifying areas in which you would like support, Dr. Pamela Heidi Douglas––a fellow UPB lecturer and native English speaker––will visit one of your teaching sessions and provide one-on-one feedback afterward. Later in the semester, Heidi can revisit one of your sessions and provide you with a second round of feedback. All feedback is confidential, nonjudgmental, constructive, and aimed at fostering teaching excellence. |

| Individual English Consultations | One-on-one consultations with Dr. Pamela Heidi Douglas are available to all university employees on an ongoing basis, both during and outside the lecture period. The consultations provide tailored support for enhancing your English language skills and can assist you with various tasks, including proofreading academic manuscripts, refining presentation and lecture slides, preparing for an upcoming presentation or course taught in English, and refreshing speaking skills for conferences and other events. |
