Dynamic Business English

COURSE AIMS

• To improve communication effectiveness in both written business documents, and oral presentations
• To elevate personnel proficiency and confidence
• To enhance corporate image through professional representation
• To have a greater impact on clients, and increase profitability

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Indisputably, English is the universal language of business communication throughout the world, and companies are judged by the way their employees express themselves both verbally, and in written form.

Dynamic Business English provides businesses with tailor-made courses based on the existing level of English proficiency, and the specific needs of the organisation, with regards to business documents (e. g. minutes of meetings, meeting agendas, business letters, reports) and oral presentations (e.g. interviews, statistical presentations, formal speeches).

Courses cover the respective purposes, styles, formats and content appropriate to each business text, and identify correct language structures and English grammar for analysis and text application.

Participants have commented on the enjoyment and relevance of their course content, and remarked on a newfound confidence in their business communication.

ABET – Raising English Literacy

In business, staff members whose mother tongue are not English, may experience difficulty in workplace communication.

For this need, Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) is offered by Skye English at their Crowthorne training centre throughout the year (or at the company premises upon request), and applicants are pre-tested to accurately assess their appropriate ABET Levels of entry.

(Refer to ABET on this website for further information.)
