This Business English correspondence language course has been designed for participants who are especially hindered by time but who still require a professional and relevant means of study. The length of the course could be adapted to individual requirements but the readymade course consists of 24 parts called “teaching sessions”. The first session is a test for assessing the level of knowledge of the participant. The last one is to test the acquired knowledge after the teaching course is completed. The other 22 parts are divided according to their topic and all the topics are related to an everyday working situation. They each cover a certain area of competence and skill to do Business in English.
Our aim is for each session to take no more than 50min to complete.
Delivery:
Each Tuesday the participants will receive one session which should be completed and returned before Thursday evening the same week, when they will receive the next one. Each week the sessions will be checked and corrected by the school. Feedback concerning the previous completed session will be delivered to the participants upon receipt of the new session for the week.
A typical session is built up as follows:
Reading comprehension – each text is on a certain topic. It gives useful and practical information regarding the way of doing business in English. Furthermore, it provides the client with the necessary vocabulary concerning a certain business area or situation.
Vocabulary – this part consists of useful words and expressions, related to the topic of the text in the reading comprehension, together with some tips and short exercises.
Writing - this part consists of practical information with tips and examples of how to write different types of texts according to the rules.
Feedback - the client will receive his materials with corrections and explanations
Optional extra: If necessary each participant will further receive different exercises to practice the pieces of grammar he or she does not use properly, again followed by feedback.
