Rudolf Camerer PhD Living in the US and Britain for several years taught me not only the language but also made me aware of the importance of cultural codes. I worked in adult education for more than twenty years, directing among other things the Adult Education Institution of the City of Hamburg and the Weiterbildungs-Testsysteme GmbH, the head office of TELC The European Language Certificates, which serves companies, administrative bodies, universities and language schools on a Europe-wide scale.
Brigitta Godel PhD As an interpreter for Russian and French I worked in many parts of the world. Today my focus is on training courses for management executives both in Germany and Eastern Europe with a special interest in intercultural and gender-specific questions. I have also conducted research in these fields and authored several studies. I have been working in the fields of curriculum design and language competence tests for many years.
Peter Kiefer As a graduate
in Languages and Cultural Studies (Mainz University / Universidad Complutense Madrid) and having
spent a number of years abroad, my professional work today constantly confronts me with varying systems of verbal and nonverbal communication. It is this background that makes me particularly aware of the critical aspects
of intercultural communication, something that influences my work both in the
fields of curriculum and test design (German, Spanish etc.) and in
train-the-trainer seminars.
Judith Mader M.A. I grew up in England and have degrees in Political Science (University of Sussex) and in Applied Linguistics (University of Birmingham). I have been living in Germany for over 30 years and have worked extensively both in the corporate and university sectors and focussing on language and teacher training courses. I have considerable expertise in the field of test construction and have published widely in several sectors. Today my special interest is in questions of intercultural competence and the role of English as a global lingua franca.
Prof. François Weiss I have a PhD in linguistics and have been a professor of English in France, Germany, Australia, UK, and Greece – at the Sorbonne as well as at the French National Centre for Languages at Sèvres and also at the universities of Munich and Athens. For many years I conducted work for the Council of Europe and have published widely on methodological issues. Today my special focus is on questions of how intercultural competence may be incorporated with the process of foreign language acquisition.
