Training for University staff
In partnership with other departments across the University, we offer resources and training for staff, on areas including:
- the challenges with academic language and literacy that students commonly experience
- how to make assessment criteria and feedback more transparent for all students
- strategies and resources for writing and presenting to an international audience
- how to teach to an international classroom
- practical training for those who are new to teaching
- how to write narrative submissions for promotion cases
- how to write narrative CVs for funding applications.
University staff can visit the centre's Sharepoint site for more information.
Teaching English for Academic Purposes (TEAP)
For teachers outside of the University, we offer Teaching English for Academic Purposes (TEAP) courses. Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or just moving into the field, our TEAP courses can help you develop your knowledge, engage with sector peers, and prepare for further accreditation.
We are currently offering two TEAP courses:
- Moving into English for Academic Purposes – an intensive one-week professional development course that will take place on campus between April and May 2025.
- Leading in English for Academic Purposes – a flexible, low-commitment course that will take place online between March and November 2025.

The course helped me delve a bit deeper into the 'why' behind my classroom teaching and materials design. It also gave me lots of new ideas for engaging classroom activities to help students develop as autonomous learners.
