Your Language Course

Need to use English in your daily tasks at work and feel you could do with some help? Then the English At Work Add-On is just right for you. It has to be combined with our General English course in which our qualified native level teachers will help you gain more confidence when using the English language and improve your fluency and accuracy in speaking, writing, listening and reading.

English At Work Contents
This Add-On helps you improve all aspects of your work communication skills focusing on all areas in a professional context such as writing professional letters and emails, answering phone calls, taking a message, delivering presentations and much more.
The 10 additional lessons are designed for students with an elementary to advanced level of English.

During the English At Work lessons you will work on:

  • Planning, designing and delivering presentations
  • Planning, designing and delivering an elevator pitch
  • Negotiations, interviews and scheduling
  • Reading, listening to and responding to authentic business materials
  • Producing a range of business texts (letters, CVs, emails, social media posts, cover letters, reports etc)
  • Describing data

The 10 Add-on lessons take place Monday to Friday from 1:45 to 3:15 pm after the General English Course and a lunch breach.

If you would like to find out your level of English according to the European Framework of Reference for Languages, take our free online test.

How We Teach

Pair work, group work and individual study patterns: We believe a relaxed learning environment is the most effective way to improve so we use lots of games, task-based activities and discussions which gives our students the chance to use what they learn in real communicative contexts.
We have internet access in all classrooms and interactive whiteboards in some classrooms.
Our syllabus is based around the common European framework.  All other learning materials are provided.  Our teachers’ resource room is well-stocked with classic and new teaching materials.

Conversation Club

Wednesday from 17:00 to 18:30
For all students we organise a Conversation Club once a week which is all about socialising with students while improving your English. We will provide you and the other students with a topic (suggestions are always welcome) that we will all discuss together. A couple of challenges will be set and you will be presented with the main vocabulary relevant to the topic.

Flash Objectives

Mondays in the first lesson
To make your learning as personalised as we can your teacher will ask you to come up with your weekly flash objective. This is an aspect of your learning that you want to focus on for that week. It could be the pronunciation of a particular sound or the mastering of a specific piece of grammar. These are reviewed weekly and make up part of your personal learning plan.
free

Monthly Tutorial

By appointment
To make sure you are getting the most out of your time with us if you are staying 4 weeks or longer we have monthly one-to-one tutorials where you can spend time with your teacher to evaluate your progress, reflect on your learning and express any concerns you may have with your learning journey. You will need to make an appointment for this service.
