Beschreibung

This course develops the English skills needed for effective communication in professional contexts. You will expand your Business English vocabulary, improve your grammatical accuracy, and learn to express opinions, develop arguments, and discuss workplace topics with greater fluency and confidence.

The course focuses on practical workplace communication, including participating in meetings, understanding business-related texts and extended discussions, writing formal and informal emails, and preparing for job interviews. You will also practice presenting clear arguments, supporting your ideas with relevant examples, and responding appropriately in professional conversations.

In addition, the course strengthens your intercultural competence and helps you use language, formality, and communication conventions effectively in different professional situations.

This course is very suitable for students who may have reached a B2 level in the past and are now looking to either refresh their skills or have not yet had an opportunity to engage with workplace communication in English.
