The General English part of the course aims to develop the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently using English language. All aspects of language are covered: communication skills (both written and oral), listening skills, reading skills and language appraisal.
Each student completes a Needs Analysis Questionnaire before or on arrival. The teacher then uses the course proposal to develop a tailored course. Language input comes from various sources for the one-to-one part of the course including course books, newspapers, the internet etc. to facilitate the learning outcomes of the participant. The teaching approach is communicative and task based with the emphasis on language production.
The One-to-One element will quickly improve student’s general or specialised English. We cater for many professional areas, including sales, marketing, management, etc. We also help students to prepare for business presentations, negotiations or meetings, and develop key communication skills such as telephoning, business correspondence and report writing. We also offer CV and interview preparation skills.
