Advanced Conversation
This course covers all aspects of spoken communication, from everyday small talk to more formal business negotiations. Participants will examine the essential language, skills and techniques needed to actively take part in spoken communication in diverse situations. Challenging role-plays will be used to develop vocabulary and improve conversation skills in both the formal and informal context.
Listening and Pronunciation
This workshop focuses on developing speaking and listening skills in a variety of contexts. Students will examine idiomatic English found in various situations and settings. We will improve listening skills and oral communication through a variety of sources, such as film clips, radio programs and song lyrics. Part of the course will be devoted to accurate pronunciation and impromptu speaking activities.
English for Teens
This course is specifically designed for students betwee 15 and 18 who need to bring their English up to level. We practice the grammar and vocabulary needed to pass the Austrian Matura with ease. The sessions focus on speaking and building on the homework topics.
Professional Writing Skills
This course is based on the students' professional needs and focuses on the techniques required to draft clear, articulate and appropriate texts in the business context. We review advanced grammatical structures and edit formal texts for cohesion, style and clarity. Each session includes a practical writing task and individual feedback by the teacher.
