English for Work

This tailor-made course improves the communication skills for work of university staff with administrative, secretarial and similar responsibilities. The class develops your speaking, writing, listening, and reading competences. It uses authentic sample texts and video clips to review and expand the range of your grammar, vocabulary and set phrases. Engaging in role plays of common speaking situations will enhance your confidence and fluency, while producing templates will improve the accuracy of your writing. Through personalized feedback you will build your individual capacities. Above all, we promise a safe, relaxed and inspiring environment, with a start-of-the-day-beverage to ensure that you feel comfortable testing and enhancing your English.
