Description

If you would like to develop your Business English skills and increase your language confidence in a fun and relaxed environment, then this workshop is for you! With English increasingly being spoken at the WU and beyond, help is at hand by providing some technical guidance and practical exercises. Rather than teaching English from scratch, the focus here is on refining and improving your linguistic skills to not only suit the other person that you are communicating with, but to suit the context too.

Content

Spread over three sessions, the workshop series will cover:

  • Advanced writing skills for specific purposes (e.g., emails, websites);
  • Oral communication (e.g., informal conversation, meetings, Zoom calls);
  • Specific business-related vocabulary and phrases that may come in useful, regardless of setting.

Other topics can also be dealt with at the participants’ request. As this workshop runs over three weeks, it will be possible to direct content towards areas where participants would like further support.
