Question:
saw someone write the following sentence.
The course is lectured in English.
(Here "course" means a series of lessons in a particular subject.)
Can we say "course" is lectured? Personally I think this expression is
awkward.
Is it awkward?
I've come up with the following expressions.
The course is given in English.
The lessons are given in English.
The lessons are taught in English.
The course is taught in English.
Are these four sentences fine?
Answer:
That implies something slightly different for me.
"The course is given in English" = the lecturer gives his
lectures in English. It does not entirely exclude the student
asking questions in another language, as it only specifies the
language of the lessons.
"The course is conducted in English" = all discussion in class is
held in English.
