Many international universities are now offering courses in a variety of different subjects where English is used as the medium of instruction. University educators who are non-native speakers of the English language often adapt their materials and teaching styles to this new teaching format. Montclair State University's Teaching in English program is designed specifically for the needs of such international university educators.

Upon completion of the Teaching in English program, educators will strengthen their ability to teach, publish, and make professional presentations in the English language. The program features two separate options for interested participants: Teaching in English on the Montclair State Campus and Teaching in English on Your Campus.

Teaching in English on the Montclair State Campus
This four-week intensive summer program held on the campus of Montclair State University from early July to early August is designed for international university instructors from various disciplines who wish to strengthen their English writing and oral proficiency and gain skills for teaching in English to domestic and international students. This immersion program provides an intensive course of study that can be adapted to meet the participants’ specific interests and needs. In addition, the program offers participants an opportunity to enhance their knowledge of American culture, society, and higher education through the Forum on American Issues series as well as guided field trips.

Teaching in English on Your Campus
This program, offered by the Global Education Center at Montclair State University, presents a model to guide university professors who wish to gain skills in teaching in English. This program can be customized to meet the special interests and needs of instructors from various universities, disciplines, and academic departments. It provides intensive courses in English language skills and in current teaching methodology. The program duration is between three and four weeks depending on the number of courses to be offered and can begin between mid-May and mid-July.
