Business English

About the course

English has become not just the language of business, but the language of the internet, medicine, research and engineering. The ability to communicate effectively in English is vital to achieving success internationally so it is not surprising that Business English courses are becoming more and more popular. Our Business English course is designed to help you develop the English language skills required to carry out your job effectively and professionally. Participants have the option of joining a small group or having one-to-one sessions.

ELA Business’ comprehensive package includes individual language assessments and ‘needs analysis’ to identify the nature of contexts in which English is used, as well as the technical language required. This forms the foundation of class programming. Outcomes are established with priority being given to gaining ability and confidence in communicating in English.

After the course, participants are tested for ability and comprehension of new vocabulary and language structure and, where appropriate, their new language level. A report, with personal plan for continued study, is given to every participant.

Our teachers are well trained and experienced in working with participants from a variety of workplace environments and there is a resource bank of materials relevant to individual industries, as well as newspapers and journals. Methodology includes language construction, listening skills, writing skills and communication skills.
