Workshop 1: Clean up your Grammar!
Proficiency in spoken communication - express yourself clearly and precisely!
Learn to speak correctly and with confidence. Clean up the grammar mistakes that hold back your language skills. This course will help you solve your daily problems at work in English.
If English grammar is something you have never really understood then this is definitely the right course for you. This workshop will enable participants to gain confidence when using the English language with international business partners. Participants will learn to express themselves concisely and with the appropriate tenses needed.
Special techniques and key words will be given and practised, and specific problems that Germans have with the tenses will be covered. The tenses will be explained in a way that you will understand! You don't have to have studied linguistics to do this course.
Workshop 2: Telephoning and Emailing
Effective communication in daily office life
Gain confidence when telephoning and emailing with international partners and learn to accurately express yourself politely.
This seminar focuses on the structure of spoken and written English and helps you formulate your correspondence in a professional style that is not merely a translation from your first language.
You will learn the rules and expressions required to write letters, faxes, e-mails, reports and minutes of meetings.
Your vocabulary and fluency will increase and your understanding of how to use polite language correctly will increase. You should no longer suffer from the inhibitions that many people feel when having to speak or write English in a busy office.
Workshop 3: Meetings, Negotiations and Presentations
Three important skills – combined with cultural sensitivity
In our global village you need to be able to interact in English with customers from around the world. To do so successfully, we can help you familiarise yourself with the language, culture and formalities used in an international context. In this seminar you will learn how to present your ideas and arguments clearly in English.
Meetings and negotiations are all about exchanging opinions, agreeing, disagreeing, asking for suggestions and clarifications. Presentations lay the foundations for a successful co-operation with your clients.
This seminar aims to improve your ability to give a professional presentation in English, by analysing and practising the type of language and techniques used, as well as tips on how to deal with subsequent questions.
