BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSES
Business English Courses (different CEFR levels: A1-C2) focus on students’ acquisition of specific professional/technical terminology, as well as writing, speaking, listening and reading skills, which are all necessary for communication in English in a particular business context. This entails a specific clarity of expression and the usage of specific, specialized vocabulary and grammar ranges. Enhancement of all language skills (speaking skills, writing skills, reading skills and listening skills), as well as improvement of vocabulary and grammar ranges receive equal attention during classes. Modern English language programs, as well as CEFR level descriptors not only suggest, but also oblige us to equally develop all language skills and to insist on the use of functional language, i.e. communication. This is achieved through the application of different motivational and pedagogical strategies and is something that we insist on from the very beginning of the course.
When using English in a business context, it is vital to be as clear and precise as possible and not leave anything open to interpretation. If your writing skills or your speaking skills are not on an appropriate language level, you often waste time explaining what you wanted to say, and you risk being misunderstood. Our Business English Courses can help you improve all language skills and enable you to communicate in English in your business context. Learn to use appropriate vocabulary and grammar structures and communicate your ideas clearly and precisely. Improving your Business English language skills can also provide you with an opportunity to advance your career. By acquiring and understanding different communication skills in different business contexts you can also gain confidence to build strong relationships at work, both with your colleagues and your clients.

In addition to the carefully chosen coursebook the course also includes the usage of authentic material such as sound recordings, video clips, various vocabulary and grammar practice handouts and speaking and writing activities in order to further stimulate students’ progress. During the course students will develop all language skills – speaking, reading, writing and listening – and learn a variety of useful words and phrases.
