Business English

Our Business English course is for people who are working, or who want to work, in a professional environment where English is used, for example, human resources, sales, marketing, public relations, management consultancy, etc.

Course content:

• Over 700 new vocabulary items
• Technical business terms
• Business-related phrasal verbs and idioms
• Formal letters and emails
• Professional reports and memorandums
• Revision exercises

The course introduces and practices around 700 new items of vocabulary, including technical business words, useful phrasal verbs, and common work-related language and idioms. It is delivered in the same lively and dynamic manner as the other Callan Method stages with the focus on listening and speaking. Every lesson, you learn something new, practise it and progress through your book. The course also includes readings and dictations and lots of practice to build fluency and improve pronunciation.

Writing Sections and Exercises

In addition to the usual Callan methodology, our Business English classes contain extra writing and vocabulary sections. The writing practice provides you with useful information on writing business letters, cover letters, reports and memos. It also provides examples of each type of writing and homework suggestions so that you can practise your writing outside of the school. The revision exercises introduce new words, phrases and expressions used in common business and professional situations and they also practice vocabulary that you have learnt already.
