The advanced course allows students to customize their English learning needs by focusing on topics of particular interest e.g. job applications and interviews. Business English Grammar in Context a short intensive alternative approach to the structure of the English language in business communication situations.
All of the modules assume that German students of management sciences and economics had enough English at school to put them on a B1 Level in terms of active skills (speaking and writing) and around B2 in terms of passive skills (listening and reading). As such it is not necessary to do a preliminary test. All of the courses are designed to be able to deal with different levels within the class (B1 to C1) as the focus is primarily on new vocabulary, which was not dealt with at high school
Compact courses are offered to allow students a short intensive opportunity to improve their English in presenting, acadamic vocabulary and business grammar in context. Please note that these modules are not available each semester.
