Participants
This course is aimed at very busy participants with clear objectives and a limited time to achieve them. The individual super-intensive course is right for those who want a very intensive one-to-one learning process focused on their own specific language and communication skills objectives.
Objectives
Programmes are totally customised 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.
