Higher education (HE) has experienced a swift internationalization process in the last decade, introducing English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in many universities. This new reality brings about novel challenges for content lecturers as they adapt to a new way of teaching in English for intercultural audiences. Following Ädel’s (2010) taxonomy...

Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art located in Holešovice Prague 7. Between the streets Komunardü Jatecní and Maninách. The area forms a kind of triangle which has a location in a culturally diverse neighbourhood. The museum is a place where you can see art from different times and cultures. The key of the Museum is that it focuses on Modern and ...

Language Learning in Higher Education
Learning to take effective notes is particularly difficult for non-English-native university students enrolled on English Medium Instruction (EMI) courses. However, time and cost constraints mean that many universities provide no support in English for academic purposes or academic skills. One solution to this problem would be to work closely with ...

Introduction Teaching in higher education is still mainly executed as lectures, even though research about student-active instruction methods points to more motivated students, higher enjoyment, and more optimal learning outcomes. The purpose of this study was to obtain better insight into how physical education (PE) students assessed their learnin...

This course covers the main statistical methods used in high-energy physics, focusing in particular on the techniques currently used in LHC experiments. The proceedings cover the following: first, the methods used to describe an experimental setup in probabilistic terms (i.e. to write down a statistical model describing the measurement) are discuss...

We discuss scalar conformal field theories (CFTs) that can be realized in structural phase transitions. The Landau condition and Lifshitz condition are reviewed, which are necessary conditions for a structural phase transition to be second order. We also review the perturbative analysis in $4-\epsilon$ expansion of the corresponding Landau actions,...

This text is a full transcription of a lecture was given in the Joint Universities Accelerator School (JUAS) in 2023. A much shorter version is to be published in the JUAS book in 2024, along with all other lectures from the JUAS school. The aim of this lecture is to provide to physicists non-expert in materials science a glimpse on how superconduc...

What makes first-semester students stay engaged in non-mandatory lecture-based courses? This study aims to answer this question by analyzing the relationship between student engagement with autonomy support and achievement goals. Data gathered through self-reports from 340 students attending four introductory lecture-based courses at four German un...

The main goal of the present lectures is to outline the key particle interactions and energy loss mechanisms in the Galactic medium that high-energy particles are subject to. These interactions are an important ingredient entering the cosmic ray propagation equation, contributing to shape cosmic ray spectra. They also source the so-called secondary...

Introduction Universities in non-Anglophone countries are increasingly implementing English as the medium of instruction (EMI) lectures. There seems to be an assumption that students’ performance on standardized English examinations can be equated with the lexical knowledge needed to comprehend EMI lectures regardless of discipline. For unknown wor...
