Our teaching philosophy

Our teaching philosophy is based on intensive hands-on instruction in small groups. We offer innovative new courses that emphasize among other topics new media, the language-and-culture interface and cognitive as well as formal language processing.

The topics of our courses are closely tied up with our research interests at the REAL Centre. Current research focuses on

• Learner Behaviour on the Internet
• Contrastive linguistics
• Localisation in Globalisation: English as an International lingua franca in Business, Politics, and Culture

Other major research projects at the REAL Centre include the development of tools for the English-German translation corpus and for the corpus of East African English as well as other NLP applications.
