Business English provision:

We run courses in Business English and public speaking for students who have already attained an intermediate level of English.  Please select the course you are interested in:

Business English (Speaking focus)
Business English (Writing focus)
The Art of Public Speaking

A certificate will be presented to students on completion of each of these courses, providing their class attendance is a minimum of 75%, and that they obtain a minimum of 60% on the examination.

Business English (Speaking focus)

We offer 24 or 48 hour courses in Business English (Speaking focus) at our premises on a Tuesday and/or Thursday Evening.  The course is modular to allow each group of students to select the topics they would most benefit from.  Some or all of the following topics may be included: cultural diversity and socialising; telephoning; presentations; meetings; and negotiations.  We have found in the past that some companies choose to send their staff to this course to develop their general Business English speaking skills, rather than having a course customised to the exact requirement of their daily operations.  You may be able to encourage your HR department to sponsor you to take this course.

While the focus is on listening and speaking, relevant integrated reading and writing tasks are also included. The emphasis is on helping students improve their communicative ability, fluency and confidence through the use of realistic communicative tasks such as discussions and role-plays. Transfer activities are also provided to enable students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to their own specific experience in the work environment. Language and communication skills checklists at the end of each unit will provide a useful quick reference source that students will find invaluable when in their place of work.

Please contact us for further details and to register your interest.  The courses always start from the first Tuesday of the month.  A class will be scheduled to run when 6 or more students have registered their interest.  The 48 hour course consists of 4 hours of teaching each week for 12 weeks (2 hours on a Tuesday night and 2 hours on a Thursday night), and costs RM630 (payable in 3 monthly installments).  The 24 hour course is delivered by either 2 hours a week on either a Tuesday or Thursday night over 12 weeks, or for 4 hours a week over 6 weeks (2 hours on both a Tuesday and a Thursday) and costs RM350.

Business English (Writing focus)

The course covers the three areas of: Forms of Writing, Functions used in writing and Grammar; each lesson will be a combination of these areas.  As with the Business English (Speaking focus) course, the Business English (Writing focus) course is modular to allow each group of students to select the topics they would most benefit from.  Some or all of the following forms of writing will be included: letters, faxes, memos, emails, minutes, reports, notices, instructions, brochures / leaflets, and newspaper articles.  Also as with the Business English (Speaking focus) course, we have found in the past that some companies choose to send their staff along to this course to develop their general Business English writing skills, rather than having a course customised to the exact requirement of their daily operations, so again, you may be able to encourage your HR department to sponsor you to take this course.

The Business English (Writing focus) course is delivered over 24 hours, which is 3 hours a week for 8 weeks on a Monday evening.  The courses always start from the first Monday of a month.  The cost of the course is RM350.

The Art of Public Speaking

We offer a 28 hour course in public speaking for students who are at an upper-intermediate level of competency in the English language (DLC level 5 or above).  The course covers all you need to excel in public speaking: how to analyse your audience, speak to persuade, entertain, and/or inform, how to begin and end, how to use visual aids, how best to organize your speech and the body language you should use.  You will learn, in part, by practice and will receive specific feedback from our teachers.

The course can be delivered within a company setting for a group of staff (we can be flexible about delivery in this case, delivering it over a number of days or weeks according to your convenience), or on our premises for the general public (2 hours a week on an evening for 14 weeks).  The cost depends on the delivery, the evening course is RM350 per person, and will run with a minimum of six students and a maximum of 12.  Please contact us for further details.
