    Learning general and business English through practice

    The key to learning a language is repetition through constant use through reading, listening, speaking and writing, and therefore requires endeavour, perseverance and patience.

    This course promotes fluency in both oral and written communications.

    The course activities includes: a.) general/business topic discussions based on events, articles from the web, and written materials, b.) listening and reading activities, and c.) in-class/homework written/oral exercises. These activities are selected to tailor to the needs of the participant. They help to improve pronunciation, enhance vocabulary and expressions and create simple to complex structures following correct grammatical syntax, usage and rules.
