Our ONE-TO-ONE ENGLISH FOR PROFESSIONALS COURSE
is ideal for those who wish to improve their English within the
context of their profession or business. English is now the language of
international business and effective communication in this language has
never been so important. Our Professional course is designed to ensure
that lessons are presented in a business setting with specific reference
and relevance to your profession or business.
We appreciate that, as a professional, your time is limited and you have
very specific requirements. For this reason a one-to-one English immersion
course with a qualified and experienced teacher is the ideal solution
ensuring that your specific language needs are met in an efficient but
thoroughly enjoyable manner. As your course is delivered by your teacher
in the teacher's home this means that no time is lost travelling to and
from your course. Lessons are relevant, personalised and centred around
you - with you and only you in mind!
Our English for Professionals course can be arranged for practically any
professional purpose and by way of example only include the following
but not necessarily limited to:
English for Accountancy
English for Business,
English for the Financial Sector,
English for Information Technology,
English for Law
English for Management,
English for Marketing,
English for Presentations,
English for Teachers,
English for the Technical Sector
Please let us know your requirements and we will be pleased to design
a course that meets your exact needs and place you with a teacher who
is qualified in your chosen field.
Following a needs analysis your teacher will design a course that focuses
on your particular language needs. This course will cover many areas including
pronunciation, sentence/word stress, grammar, vocabulary as well as the
four skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing. Error
correction and identification and monitoring and reduction of repetitive
errors is always a priority and is a very important component of our courses.
Your course will also cover professional tasks such as Presenting,
Meetings, Negotiating, Interviewing, Writing Reports and Business Reports/Correspondence,
not forgetting Socialising and appropriate
language for such situations.
Your teacher will carefully discuss your needs with you in the first lesson
and design your course based on these needs and of course your wishes!
You are encouraged to bring work related materials with you - work documents,
brochures, presentations, correspondence etc. - and these can be incorporated
into your course where appropriate. Your continuing language needs are
constantly monitored and the course focus can be altered to take these
into account. Flexibility is important and of course more easily practised
in the context of a one-to- one course!
In this way we can offer an individually designed course that is relevant
to your specific professional/business needs. After all your time is limited
and you want to study those areas that are identified as relevant to you!
For example we can offer LEGAL ENGLISH courses
for anyone who may require this specific type of professional course.
Your teacher will have legal qualifications and can offer expert courses
in the context of Common Law and International
Law covering such areas as English for
Advocacy, Company Law, Competition Law, Contract Law including Sale of
Goods, English for Drafting Documents, English for Law Students, Employment
Law, General Practice of Law, Insurance Law, Intellectual Property, Negotiable
Instruments and Real Property Law
for example. If you wish to enroll for this
course you should let us have as much information as possible about
your reasons for taking such course and advise the topics/areas you would
like to study.
Information on all courses
Every professional course involves some work on good pronunciation, correct
use of grammar and use of English, vocabulary building for chosen area,
plenty of speaking and listening practice, reading and writing as appropriate
and necessary, including specific areas such as
English for Meetings, Presentations, Negotiations and Socialising.
In your language needs analysis you will discuss the approximate amount
of time you would like to spend on the various language and professional
skill areas. Your teacher will of course give you professional advice
but your wishes are always respected and taken into account in every course!
Therefore the content and direction of your course is planned with you
and only you in mind.
Lessons for all courses are 60 minutes each with a 10 minute rest period
and take place in the morning and early afternoon depending on the number
of lessons you have booked. The exact schedule will be discussed and agreed
with your teacher on the first morning however it is usual to have the
majority, if not all, of the lessons completed in the morning. This schedule
will enable you to maximise your free time to explore the city and surrounding
area.
There will be a certain amount of homework assigned each day connected
to the language covered. This provides a chance for valuable practice
of what you have learned and allows your teacher to monitor your progress.
The amount of homework assigned is agreed with you and should take no
more than an hour or so to complete.
On the final day of your course there will be an opportunity for feedback
and your teacher will recommend a strategy for future study when you return
home. We invite you to keep in touch with us and your teacher as we are
interested in your progress and of course hope to see you back at some
time in the future!
