Face to face or online interactive courses with lawyer – linguist Sue Leschen who has 22 years professional experience of working with individuals with limited English proficiency.
WHO ARE THE COURSES FOR?
Adults who are individuals or members of corporate groups – learn on a one-to-one basis or in a group with your colleagues.
The courses will be of use for both
- The workplace – your work involves a certain standard of written and / or spoken English
- Examinations and tests – you are due to sit an exam which will test your proficiency in written and/ or spoken English such as those of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (Diploma in Public Service Interpreting, Certificate in Translation, Diploma in Translation, Language Level Assessments, Certified English speaking test), TOLES test, IELTS test, TOEFL examination. We can test your preparation under examination conditions.
TAILORED COURSES
The courses are tailored to the specific needs of attendees on or offline or both. Some attendees may need to spend more time on written rather than spoken English or vice versa. Attendees may just need one off help and support to prepare for a business meeting or other professional event or perhaps to prepare inhouse briefing notes for colleagues or to write letters and / or emails to clients. Others may need ongoing support to prepare for examinations. Courses will proceed at a pace that suits you.
WHAT THE COURSES CAN INCLUDE
Courses will focus primarily on YOUR needs but will also aim to cover:
- Written and spoken business English for the workplace
- Register (formal and informal speech)
- Spelling, grammar, vocabulary support
- Slang, idioms and puns
- Differences between UK and US English
- The importance of coherent English that makes sense
- Checking your CV, job application
