Participants
This individual course (available between March and November) is for participants who wish to combine language and communication intensive training in the mornings with the opportunity to practise their golf in some or all of the afternoons.
Objectives
The morning training course is customised totally to individual requirements. Your trainer will do a detailed needs analysis on Monday morning and develop a timetable of activities which meets your needs. The following three areas form the basis of our professional language and communication courses at York Associates.
1. Language skills
Most participants want to develop their confidence and fluency in English. Your training course will create lots of opportunities for speaking and listening. There will also be a focus on increasing vocabulary and developing more accurate English with a better command of grammar and pronunciation.
2. Professional communication skills
You can select from a menu of professional communication areas depending on the relative importance in your current or future job. This menu includes
- presentations
- meetings
- negotiations
- telephone calls
- writing emails and reports
- socialising
The training course will include both language input and lots of opportunities for practice.
3. Intercultural skills
Many professionals want to develop a greater understanding of the role which culture has in the international business world. Our internationally experienced trainers can support you to develop both cultural knowledge and the intercultural skills important for your role.
