DESCRIPTION
The primary goal of most Business English learners is to be able to speak and convey the message they want without misunderstanding (a misunderstanding can be embarrassing as well as costly). For this reason the majority of learners prefer to focus on improving their speaking skills, as especially when communicating with non-native speakers, getting the message across is more important than strict adherence to grammatical accuracy.TRANSCRIPT

Business English Refresh
• Ideal initial step (if required) before moving on to more focused coaching
• Many clients who haven’t had the opportunity to use the language for an extended period of time take advantage of ‘Refresh’ in order to regain the confidence they need to feel comfortable speaking English
• Traditional structured teaching might be integrated, if specific language requirements need to be addressed, but the use of books is kept to a minimum, as improvement is achieved through actual use of the language, rather than through memorizing grammatical rules.
