Straightforward English Speaking for Professionals

A communication tool that will save your organisation money

Learn Quickly - Straightforward speaking is easy to learn

This course introduces participants to Straightforward English Speaking for Professionals. It will teach them how to promote direct, transactional communication with their interlocutors all over the world.

In only two days, participants will get the grasp of simple know-how that will contribute towards making your organisation run more smoothly.

Theory

Straightforward English Speaking theory is communicative, skills-based and interactive. Handouts will enable participants to retain the essential language in-put and to understand the different stages of the workshop, while providing a framework for the different listening and speaking activities. The course can be fine-tuned to meet particular business or individual needs.

Practice

In class, participants will have the experience of working on and improving their speaking and listening skills. Through paired or group exercises they will acquire simple, easy-to-use skills and build confidence in their ability to communicate effectively and enjoyably in English.

Follow-up

Participants will come out of this workshop equipped with tools for communicating concisely and appropriately, with awareness of how they may continue to develop their English speaking skills.

Outcome

We give participants the opportunity to stay in touch after the workshop by way of an after-course support service where they will receive answers to their questions.

Save money

The intensive, performance-enhancing nature of this workshop enables participants to gain optimal know-how and practice in only two days. Increased confidence in their speaking skills means that all staff attending the workshop will be able to handle daily transactions in English, whether on the phone or face to face. Their improved performance will bring you faster and better business!

Build understanding

Does spoken English communication in your organisation build a positive atmosphere where people know exactly what others want from them?

Straightforward professional speaking is not only a question of saving time and money; it is also about avoiding misunderstandings, embarrassment and confusion. While it is not easy to measure the effects of the irritation, frustration and even anger that unclear, imprecise and inappropriate communication produces, this unquestionably makes a negative impact on the balance sheet...

Create movement

Does spoken communication in English in your organisation get things done efficiently, effectively, and with a minimum loss of time?

Staff who are able to respond promptly and effectively in English will have a greater chance of making a positive impact and creating mutually beneficial working relationships with clients and colleagues, both professionally and socially. Awareness of different acts of speech during the course will enable them to move forwards with increased confidence, improving their skills through further experience.
