Business English Course “working smarter, not harder!”

Skype Classes

All classes are taught via Skype allowing access to a native, qualified and experienced teacher. Each class is 55 minutes long and an audio feature allows you to study outside of a classroom environment.

Each module of this course has been designed to work with all portable devices and we recommend that you store the audio’s as a reference point in a gmail drive.

Objectives Building confidence, improving pronunciation and targeting the English that you need on a day to day basis are all features of this course.

If you have an understanding of the English language but just cannot grasp how it is applied to business, this course is for you.

Business English has unique empathetic voice tones and a high degree of formality.

This course will demonstrate these

concepts and help you to not only put them into perspective but also teach you how to apply these principles in a work environment.

This course consists of 10 modules and a review class which will check understanding and identify with any areas that need attention.

Voice Tones ! Empathetic voice tones reflect how we feel, identifying with this trait is important as we provide empathetic value in business everyday.

Our courses help to identify with how voice tones change the very meaning of a sentence. Grammatical awareness combined with good voice tones can often set you aside from the competition.

! Application !

We help you to apply this principle to phone calls, delegation, sales building (add on sales ratios), interview preparation and building client relationships.

Practice is the only way to improve, so you must have a strong study plan in order to grasp English as a second language.

!

We are measured on results so you will need to indicate exactly how you are going to study before the course begins as we need to be sure that you fit with our student profile.

!

The audios that we provide you with is from your class, where you can refer to both your success and failures. Listening to these audios will provide you with the ability to learn but more importantly learn more about the way that you sound.

!

All learning goals must have a defined time scale and you can

discuss this with your instructor. Goals must be measurable, realistic and form a basis to your planning.

!

Passive learning will not work!, our learning system requires you to have reasonable intermission between your classes.

!

Motivation is key and this is down to a realistic study plan. Bad planning can often lead to a lack of motivation.

!

An interactive class with plenty of website and video links so it makes light work of studying outside of a classroom environment. Students who have taken this module enjoyed the class and commented that pronunciation and voice tones were improved.!

Module 6 This module is by far the most challenging as this topic follows very little logic. Modern business adopts business phrasal verbs so we will present you with the most common forms and teach you how to apply. This module is based on 2 classes and will require a significant amount of study outside of a classroom environment. !

!

There are a number of role play tasks to help grasp the understanding of these verbs and how to apply them. There will be a 20 minute review of the course and an opportunity to provide feedback.
