Let Adult English
School save you some time!
We can create an intensive 5 lesson
course that can target your particular employee's needs.
Did you know?
-
People from Beijing have different English
pronunciation problems to people from Shanghai
-
Some Indians believe that it is more cultured
NOT to stick their tongue out, thereby removing every 'th' sound from the
conversation
-
The hardest sounds for Japanese are the
L & R sounds because they actually exist as a combined sound in Japanese
language.
-
People from Vietnam, Brazil, Spain, Indonesia
and many other places believe the last sound of a lot of words should be
almost silent - that includes 's' !
No single English course really helps anyone
with their pronunciation. Anyone can learn grammar, vocabulary and expressions
but pronunciation is different for everyone.
If some of your staff are difficult to
understand, it is usually because they've developed bad pronunciation habits
in their English learning that hasn't been corrected.
We can't guarantee our 5 lesson course
will fix their mother tongue problems permanently. If they're still speaking
their native language with their friends, then mother tongue influence
will quickly override anything they've learnt.
But, if they really want to improve their
pronunciation and plan to practice at home between lessons, you should
see improvement within 5 weeks.
A 5 lesson course targeting each individual
employee's needs, and taking place at our office in the city, includes
the following:
-
A report after lesson
1 - showing problems found
-
A report after lesson
5 - showing where there has been improvement and what needs to be done
next
-
Targeted pronunciation
practice
-
Grammar help
-
Conversational vocabulary
building
-
Conversational business
idioms and slang
-
and much more!
If they've only been in Australia for a short
time we also include information on Australian English.
If there's a particular issue that needs
to be looked at, we'll make sure it is included in the 5 lessons.
There are many issues people with English
as a foreign language have. We know, like most things, it's possible to
spend 20% of the time to get 80% of the work. Our 5 lesson course is the
20% that should give you 80%! The rest, your employee should do in their
own time.

Example 1
Rose has been working at her Accounting firm for 5 years. She is the
best employee there. Hard working, conscientious, great personality and
attention to detail. She deserves a promotion. Unfortunately she has been
passed over 3 times because her English just isn't good enough to deal
with clients directly. She really wants to get that promotion and is willing
to work hard on improving her English to get it. After just 5 lessons with
Adult English School she has an understanding of what problems she has
and where she needs to improve. She realises it'll take her 6 months of
intensive study to get her level up to a point where she can be in the
running for a promotion. She either chooses to do a night course, study
by herself or take on more private lessons with Adult English School. Whatever
she chooses, it means progress. |

Example 2
Rajish is a hardworking IT employee. He programs, enters data, keeps
servers on track and is basically a godsend to the people around him. He
is very quick at solving problems and his English seems to be excellent
as his written reports are near perfect. But no one can understand him
on the phone. It's not just the IT language he uses to help someone solve
a problem. He has no idea that his pronunciation is affecting his communication
skills. He's been passed over for the supervisor position twice. After
5 lessons with Adult English School Rajish realises his pronunciation is
wrong for Australian conditions and begins practicing what he has learnt
at home. Slowing his speech down, concentrating more on 'th' sounds, softening
'r' sounds and choosing more conversational vocabulary. He stops asking
about promotions as he knows he has to fix this problem first. After a
few months of practice people stop complaining about Raj on the phone.
This is very pleasing to Raj as the whole episode has been making him a
bit depressed. Perhaps he'll get that promotion now! |
