Special emphasis is placed on skills work, particularly listening and speaking.
The student-centred approach invites learners to draw on their own professional experience in activities and discussions.
Essential business vocabulary is presented in realistic contexts and taught systematically.
The course includes a substantial amount of listening work, as well as a pronunciation syllabus.
