OPTIMISING LANGUAGE, STYLE AND CONTENT: THE ESSENCE OF ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
The precise and correct use of language is fundamental to academic and professional English. The specific meaning is conveyed through the idiom and vocabulary, so that all work together. It is thus necessary to ensure a symbiotic interaction between the content and the linguistic. This requires interdisciplinary skills at a high level.
On this basis, I offer the following services:
Linguistic Editing
- Professional, highly sophisticated editing
- Appropriately formulated English, both linguistically and in terms of content, for publication in top journals or other purposes
- Editing of articles and other documents such as grant applications and letters of recommendation, and any other types of document
Presentation Training and Seminars
- English for Academic Research & Conference Training
- Seminars & Coaching – relating to clients’ own work
- Assistance with English for teaching, based on many years of experience at universities in Germany and elsewhere
- Subject-specific or interdisciplinary approach
Business English and Conversation
“Conversational and professional English”: from intermediate to top managerial or consulting level.
English for all professional fields including business (financial, marketing or economic English etc.), psychology, sociology, and other social sciences.
Voice & Pronunciation Training
For over 15 years, I have been coaching and assisting students at various levels (and professors), on how to use their voice effectively and how to pronounce words correctly, and also avoid repeat errors.
Teaching in English for Non-Native Speakers
It is important for non-native speakers to minimise pronunciation or other English (repeat) errors. My many years of experience enable me to correct and improve:
- pronunciation and other linguistic errors
- expressions and phrasing on the slides, making the text more concise
- non-language issues with use of voice and slides
- ensure powerful and compelling introductions and conclusions
