Course description
The course is aimed at anyone who wants to improve their fluency in work-related communication skills. Speaking is at the forefront but the course will practice all four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as expanding vocabulary in general business areas. The exact content will change from month to month but each course focuses on the following core areas:
- Talking about your job/current projects
- Reading, listening and speaking activities related to current business topics based on articles, podcasts and TED talks
- Meetings
- Presentations
- Business writing skills
- Vocabulary building and grammar revision
- Social English and small talk
There is some room for participants to influence the topics and the exact content of the course according to their own interests. For example, students can make a presentation on a business topic of their own choosing and, by using a framework approach, students can talk about topics that are related to their own areas of work. In addition, the teacher will carry out a needs’ analysis at the beginning of the course.
The teacher will work with a mixture of published, authentic and tailor-made material. All course materials are included and will be provided by the teacher.
