Tailor-made Business English courses for improved communication:
BCS consists of four different levels: beginner, elementary, intermediate and upper intermediate. The course programme has been developed with a high level of flexibility so that it can be easily adapted to meet the needs of the participant’s work situation. We have been teaching tailor-made BCS courses to numerous employees of Norwegian companies for the last ten years and have, without exception, always had extremely good feedback. The course is designed for both the net and classroom.
The aim of BCS:
BCS aims to enhance the participant’s English proficiency, ensuring that they attain a professional and productive level of Business English. Course participants will acquire English skills that convey fluency, expertise and professionalism.
Objectives:
The BCS course aims to enhance the participant’s English proficiency, ensuring that they attain a professional and productive level of Business English. Course participants will acquire English skills that convey fluency, expertise and professionalism.
Participants will:
• Gain essential knowledge about they can improve their communication of specialist terminology.
• Improve their communication skills in specific work-related scenarios.
• Increase their levels of confidence and professionalism in oral and written communication.
• Enhance their linguistic skill set: grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary and job-related terminology, sentence construction, punctuation, nuance, formal / informal style and tone.
Method and approach:
Lingu has designed BCS as the linguistic platform we believe is essential for every employee of an international organisation if they are to use Business English in a professional manner. The linguistic platform combines two learning modes:
• Tailored classroom lessons following our own Business English course material
• Online exercises and materials
Classroom lessons:
The classes are 100% adapted to suit the individual group / participant. The teacher will focus on extensive use of case studies based on actual work scenarios and requirements in terms of practising specialist terminology. A combination of classroom teaching, online teaching and individual guidance can also be arranged. Additionally, participants may be offered email and video conference lessons if meeting the teacher face-to-face proves problematic. Lingu has had extremely good results from this type of teaching as an alternative to classroom teaching.
BCS online:
The net-based course offers a straightforward, effective and practical approach to Business English for participants at all levels. The online course comprises eight modules, each of which includes oral and written assignments. Course content has been specially compiled to include useful learning resources and examples from business and industry. Content and communication is audio based so participants need a headset and microphone.
