| WHY LEARN ENGLISH? |
It's simple. English is the international language for business, science, technology, the internet, and travel, and more and more people speak it as a first or second language. So Learning English is your passport to easy and successful worldwide communication.
To test your computer's sound system, you can listen to some English. To play or pause the player, and adjust the volume, use the controls. This short introduction lasts about 10 seconds.
| WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT THE EUROVERSITY SEMINARS? |
The English Language Development Programme provides Euroversity Seminars: English language training for business, communication, education, management, science, technology, and other professional areas.
The Euroversity Seminars are a unique learning experience that support your company's English language development strategy.
Improving your English helps you to meet new people, explain your thoughts, express your feelings, share your ideas, make a better social life, and enjoy your holidays.
Within education, schools, colleges and universities, you can develop the skill that you use most. So much depends on the way you write and speak. From passing exams to teaching others. From making lifelong friends to starting a rewarding job.
In business, industry, and finance, you can be successful, build good relationships, entertain new friends, improve your career opportunities, and make much better use of the internet.
In management, it means that you can deal effectively and confidently with international communication, conferences, multi-national projects, and contracts. And avoid expensive mis-understandings, particularly in these key areas:
meeting and greeting people
making and taking telephone calls
understanding and writing business letters
making offers, preparing estimates, and processing orders
understanding and writing specifications
dealing with information technology
understanding and interpreting commercial documents
understanding and writing technical literature
hosting customers and suppliers
negotiating with foreign businesses
making presentations and preparing conference papers
business trips abroad
The Oxford English Language Development Programme is more immediate and more successful than conventional teaching methods. The courses are interesting, stimulating, and supportive, and provide the focus for any company's English language development strategy.
