The Business English course covers the following subjects: commercial vocabulary building, engaging in business related subjects, writing skills, news articles, listening & reading skills and intensive dialogue. Your investment is to learn business vocabulary every week in preparation for a weekly test. A high level of spoken English is to be expected. This is a very active course so please do not expect "school English"!
