Communicating in English for Research
Brest — 25-27 June 2024
Most researchers are able to write about their research, using various online resources and services offered by our universities. When it comes to speaking in public, however, stress and lack of practise sometimes make it difficult to communicate efficiently. Socializing around events and small talk can also be challenging since they are remote from the researchers' field of expertise. This staff week aims to overcome the difficulties most commonly experiences in research.
For researchers.
B1+/B2 level minimum in English. You should be able to participate in a course that is fully conducted in English, and present some research material in English.
Programme: 9-12 am / 2-5pm - Lunch and evening meals will be opportunities to practice small talk.
Day 1: Introducing one another, describing your field of research ( mini presentations), typical questions and answers
Day 2: Speaking at a conference – practice and feedback, including Q&A questions
A visit in English (understanding a different accent and interacting with the guide)
