Why should you choose this course with the British Council?

On this course, you will:

  • be taught by expert instructors with experience of the local business context
  • improve your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills as well as develop important career skills
  • learn through structured learning tasks and activities that will help you improve your level of language proficiency in the workplace.

How will I be taught? 

We use our own specially-developed supplementary materials. We strongly believe in a blended learning approach which requires individuals to prepare for the forthcoming lesson individually so that class time can be devoted to 'active learning' through discussion and language development. In practice, this involves participants reading/listening to a key text before each lesson and then working with your instructor in the lesson to explore the topic and language used. In recognition of your busy schedules, additional homework tasks are kept to a minimum.
