Unlimited hours until fluency.
- This course gives you excellent tools for maintaining and building English skills in social and business settings.
- The instructor combines advanced English material with specialized business texts to take you to the next level.
- Its focus is on cultivating business skills, such as negotiations, presentations and meetings in a professional environment.
- The business vocabulary taken up will help you in your chosen field.
- This program teaches you the fundamentals of business English and will provide plenty of opportunity to practice your English skills through class and work assignments.
- In addition to your work documents, the teacher uses an extensive array of resource material which depicts real-life and work-related situations. The articles, selected from authentic sources and specialized teaching material, are designed to promote strong communication skills.
- You will learn real-life communication through role-playing, problem solving, case studies and discussions, as well as business reading and writing.
- Our approach, which encourages non-prepared dialogues, forces the student to speak outside the box. Since so much of spoken English is too subtle to define in writing, that is why our open dialogues are so helpful. Any arising mistakes or problems are addressed on the spot.
