How you call them is to cup your hands together to make a megaphone and shout their name.

In America, it's almost always a Professor teaching the course. The one class I had in college where the guy teaching was an expert, but did not have a doctorate, he was the Instructor for the course.
However, just to have fun with English, he described himself as "teaching" the course, and in American colleges, the graduate students that help out are Teaching Assistants.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

Lector is more of a University grade (after asistent) in Romania than a general term for a lecturer, isn't it?Originally posted by Admiral View PostComment

In my Uni each university school boss was called a 'Dean'
Yep lecturer, normally.
On graduation it was amusing to see them all dressed up like medieval chess pieces.

But isn't the "family" of all these teaching people called "teachers"? Like there are humans and cats etc., but they're all mammals...Comment

Of course, speaking multiple languages is imperative if your native tongue is spoken only by a handful of people. And as soon as you start working internationally, you must know English.

And besides, speaking foreign langauges also increases the appreciation of our own language: Dutch is by far the most beautiful, precise and concise language in the world (I'll admit, concise is a word I had just looked up a few days ago. It is a very nice word even in English).Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.Comment

Yes, pretty much, in essence they're all professors, but an Assistent doesn't normally teach a course (mostly seminarries); you'll have to be at least a Lecturer/Lector to do that.Originally posted by NetSnake View PostComment
