HR Seminar by Dr Szamosi in Bucharest
Dr Leslie Szamosi, Director of the Executive MBA offered by the University of Sheffield International Faculty in Romania, delivered an insightful seminar on ‘Getting the Top to Listen. Building a Business Case’ in Bucharest. Attracting managers and business professionals, the event took place 27 September 2018 at the Hilton Hotel. Dr Szamosi’s presentation was focused on guiding participants to get their voice heard and their ideas communicated to members of a company’s or organisation’s top management. “No matter how good our idea, no matter the area, senior management listens to the business case!” argued Dr Szamosi and continued: “When organisations are going through changes or need to re-evaluate and think through new concepts and ideas, many times (if not all times) we need the support of senior management to make things happen. But, it seems like they are not listening!” Seminar participants looked at various tools and techniques to build the case, to both provide the hard and soft evidence that is required in order for those above to take notice of the great ideas from below. The seminar concluded with participants having a clearer understanding of what decision-makers are looking for and of how to target them both intellectually and emotionally with information. The event was successful overall and presented a very innovative topic as reported by participating managers.

An informative Personal and Professional Development Seminar on Dyslexia organised by the English Studies Department
The first Personal and Professional Development Seminar of the English Studies Department of the University of Sheffield International Faculty CITY College to inaugurate the Autumn semester seminar series took place on Tuesday, 16 October and focused on “Teaching English to Learners with Dyslexia: from Theory to Practice.” Our distinguished speakers for the event were: Ms Viveta Lymberaki and Ms Xenia Konstantinopoulou, co-founders, owners and Directors of Studies and Special Language Disorder teachers of the English Language Centre “My Way” – the first English language centre in Northern Greece exclusively for children with Specific Learning Differences. It is truly inspiring how Ms Lymberaki and Ms Konstantinopoulou emphasize the fact that these ELT learners do not exhibit learning difficulties, but learning differences. In other words, to maximize their learning potential, educators have to become familiar with these differences and employ respective and varied teaching methodologies and techniques. Of course, such teaching would be highly enriched with a specialized background in neurolinguistics according to our speakers. In addition to raising awareness towards various misconceptions of dyslexia, Ms Konstantinopoulou and Ms Lymberaki focused on the specific case of Greek students learning English and placed emphasis on the different linguistic systems of English and Greek. Hence, attention ought to be paid to phonological awareness, creating a personal picture dictionary, and using mind maps. Multi-sensory teaching methods essentially assist students with SpLDs to adapt more smoothly to mainstream classrooms. Given that the matter of Dyslexia is still held by some as taboo, it is important to raise awareness that it does not pose as an impairment or difficulty but simply signals that students learn differently.

Public Engagement Scheme by our English Studies Department: Year 3!
English Language Lessons for Teenagers It is with great pleasure that the English Studies Department of the University of Sheffield International Faculty CITY College welcomes for a third consecutive academic year our newest and youngest students. Our Public Engagement Scheme for high-school students, titled "English Language Lessons for Teenagers" has already begun, full of enthusiasm, excitement and creativity. This is a programme offered to financially vulnerable families, which has been designed by Dr Paschalia Patsala, Senior Lecturer of the Department in collaboration with the Municipality of Thessaloniki, and is led by Dr Zoi Tatsioka, Head of the Department and Dr Vicky Papachristou, Lecturer of the Department. The continuous support of Express Publishing has been of pivotal importance to this project, as the company has been providing students and teachers with material, known for its top quality, well-researched and innovative nature. We are truly indebted to them for their valuable contribution. Lastly, this venture could not have been realised without the assistance offered by the volunteers of the ESD (staff members, MA students and alumni), who wholeheartedly support this programme offering their teaching insights. This year our students will be undertaking B2 level examinations, so we would all like to wish them the best of luck in their endeavour!
