‘Communicate’ is a short course designed to help you to communicate more clearly and effectively with students, especially in a lecturing context. The course is likely to be of particular interest to colleagues whose first language is not English, though it is open to anyone who wishes to improve their skills in this area of practice. It is often recommended to selected attendees of ‘Making the Most of Your Voice’ as being of further benefit to them.

With a primary focus on enhancing the clarity of your spoken English, the course will cover elements such as English vocal characteristics, exercises to develop a clearer English sound, effective presentation, structuring lectures and effective use of teaching materials and resources. The lead tutor on this course is a specialist voice coach.

This 12-hour course typically runs twice a year as a 6-week evening course. The course is open to both lecturing staff and post-doctoral research staff who teach. Due to limited places on each course priority will be given to academic staff and is usually invite-only, although you are welcome to express an interest in attending through the general OD contact details.
