Business English
The program is designed to help the students gain language skills and cultural understanding they need to function successfully in the U.S. workplace. The students will learn what to say in everyday business situations and will become familiar with common forms of speech and practices in all major facets of business. Topics covered include standard practices in telephone conversation, making sales, speaking at business meetings, observing social etiquette and much more. The students will be exposed to authentic business-oriented reading passages, taken from the variety of sources. There are integrated writing tasks, such as writing summaries, reports, letters and memos. Strong emphasis on listening will allow the students to improve this skill. On advanced levels materials will deal with international issues of interest: Marketing, Brand Leaders, Selling, Telecommunicating, Prices, Cultural Awareness, Monopolies, Entertaining, Finance, Corporative Structure, Management, Economic Issues. Controlled activities provide practice with grammar and vocabulary and the mechanisms of everyday business writing. The writing tasks teach how to initiate new correspondence and how to respond appropriately and write financial reports. The evaluation section at the end of each topic focuses on what the students have learned and where the student’s areas of weakness remain.
