In-company Business Courses
These courses, held in your offices, can be organised on a group or individual basis. Lessons can be taken during the day or after office hours and timetables are flexible to accommodate your schedule.
Sessions are normally of two hours or one and a half hours, taken once or twice a week.
Many people who have a good knowledge of another language nevertheless feel at a disadvantage in certain business situations because of a lack of specific vocabulary and appropriate expressions. These lessons are designed to remedy this problem by enabling the participant to communicate effectively and correctly in another language in any given business context.
Short intensive courses
Languages Unlimited can organise intensive courses of one, two or three week’s duration for employees who need to make rapid progress in a second language. This is particularly suitable for people who do not have the time available to follow a regular course and need to be able to demonstrate a communicative ability in a short time.
Intensive courses can be arranged at short notice and for any number of students.
English for Business
We offer specialized courses for those who already have an intermediate or good knowledge of English, but who need to improve their skills in specific areas of the language.
The course can be developed in consultation with the participants, so as to answer their requirements, and it will be conducted by a qualified, experienced, native language teacher.
The programme focuses on the following:
Language for negotiation and meetings
Examining how to make a point, disagree, and negotiate effectively in the appropriate language.
Interview techniques
Techniques and skills in how to conduct a successful interview in English.
Report writing
Instruction and written exercises to improve vocabulary and to develop the ability to make concise and informative reports in the appropriate language.
Telephone skills
Role play and exercises to give the participants the practice and confidence to enable them to deal with any given situation in a courteous manner. Where necessary, comprehension can be improved by the use of audio tapes.
Presentation skills
Practical exercises in writing and delivering a well structured and effective presentation.
The above elements can be studied separately or in combination. We offer this course in the form of a six-hour workshop, in your offices or at the language school; but it is also possible to develop any of these elements over a longer period as standard in-company lessons.
We can also offer courses in legal English for documents and contracts.
Flexibility
We recognise that people in companies have commitments and deadlines which they must respect. Sometimes it is not possible to follow a tightly scheduled course of lessons.
For these reasons, Languages Unlimited places great emphasis on flexibility, both in scheduling lessons and in situations where lessons must be re-arranged at short notice. Our aim is always, to the best of our ability, to ensure that
lessons fit into your timetable and not ours. Flexibility in schedules and course content are our utmost priority.
