Business English Course

Description

This Business English course is for speakers who already have a solid foundation in English, but who may not have studied English for a while and who need additional skills in business communication.

The course is designed to be self-led, without a teacher or class, so that individuals can fit it into their busy schedules any time of the day or night.

Individual lessons and review quizzes are meant to fit within 15-30 minutes so the student can fit them in on their lunch breaks or other smaller periods of time.

Each module is built around a business communication skill, such as giving and receiving feedback, making small talk, pitching ideas, or running a meeting.

Activities that help student improve specific language skills are included in order to support the specific business communication skill taught in each lesson. The most common activity components found throughout the lessons are:

• Listening (business scenarios that feature native English speakers using the communication skill being focused on)
• Vocabulary
• Idioms
• Grammar
• Pronunciation
• Culture
• Business skill and language quizzes and tests

Strategies for improving all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) are taught, but an emphasis is given to listening and speaking. As Western culture plays an important role in English communication, culture points are also given throughout the course.
