The article presents research on the linguistic and didactic competences of academic teachers in a technical university as part of an EU project to improve the effectiveness of education of academic teachers. It indicates the relation between language and methodological competences in teaching content classes in English. Participants who rated their teaching competences more highly also rated their language competences more highly. Based on these findings, the authors make suggestions concerning the preparation of stafffor the university.
