Course Description

The Business English classes concentrate on improving your English for use in the workplace. This course is ideal for people already working or those studying Business or planning to work in a job that will require a good command of English.

In any typical week, you will work on developing specific knowledge of English for a variety of Business topics and situations.

In your Business English class, you will study:

• Vocabulary for key Business topics, for example, marketing, negotiating, presenting, advertising, finance
• Speaking & listening skills, for example, telephoning, meetings, interviews
• Reading & Writing skills, for example, emailing, reports, articles

Levels

We recommend this course for students who are upper-intermediate - advanced (B2 - C1).  However, some intermediate (B1) level students who are used to using some English in their workplace often benefit greatly from the Business English classes as well.  On your first day at school, you will have a language placement test to enable us to decide which level of the Business English classes is best for you.

Course Books & Materials

You will use a set course book during your Business English classes, which you can borrow from Reception.  Our teachers will also use alternative materials, such as articles from The Economist or Financial Times and online material to ensure your classes are up-to-date and relevant for your needs.
