Lectures and Courses

In addition to translation and editing we also hold lectures and courses.

Our lectures are tailored to the attendees' requirements and knowledge of the English language. Some of the subjects we focus on are the following.

1) What are the common mistakes one makes when writing in English?
Here we deal with various similar words and phrases in German and English, their meaning, the use of punctuation marks in English (when and why), the use of prepositions, idioms, how long sentences or paragraphs should be, etc.

2) How do I word my covering letter to an editor when submitting an article?

3) How do I respond to reviewers and their criticism of my paper?
Should I argue? How do I still get my paper to be accepted?

When planning a lecture on Medical English for a specific audience we speak to the organizer and/or to potential attendees beforehand and find out the purpose of the lecture. We plan the lecture/course accordingly and ensure that the content is adjusted to the attendees' level of the English language.

Most importantly, our lectures are designed as workshops. We ensure that the attendees are interested and actually listening all the time. We get them to make suggestions, so they're actively involved in a learning process.

We organize a series of lectures on request. Every lecture is based on the previous one. The attendees are given "homework" which they may send to the lecturer via e-mail.

If you'd like us to organize a lecture for your department or clinic give us a call or send us an e-mail. We'll ensure that you and your staff members improve their English - and enjoy working with us.
