Business
English Conversation Course
|
 The focus of
our course is to improve Business English conversation skills in the Australian
office.
Adult English School's Business English Conversation course is great
for anyone who has intermediate to advanced English but has problems communicating
in the workplace.
Learn business expressions, idioms, slang, phrasal verbs and other conversation
techniques. Learn about business writing in letters and emails. Explore
telephone communication techniques and improve your mobile conversation
skills.
| Initially I had some doubts that enrolling in this course is a good
idea; I'm not really a pupil-like person and it’s been ages since I studied
something in a classroom. But reality proved my doubts were all wrong.
In the classes I have learnt a lot of business expressions, useful phrases
for everyday work conversations and for small talk/chit chat. Now I could
better understand other people at meetings, more actively participate in
discussions, and my writing English has also been improved.
Apart from that, I have met a lot of interesting people in the class
and that made the whole process more like fun rather than a classroom work.
It’s amazing how much new I have learnt in just 1 hour per week.
Thanks James.

Notes
|
Please be in the classroom 10 minutes before start time. Building security
closes the lifts just before 6pm, so there's absolutely no access to level
8 after 6pm!
The teacher cannot leave the class to get you if you're late. |
