If you want to learn business English, Canada offers an excellent environment in which to do so. The goal of CLLC’s course is to improve the business English skill of practicing students.
The business English course will use business case studies directly related to the real business world. Each business case will cover a particular aspect of business practice and there will be several outputs from each. Participants will:
• Work in groups to develop solutions to the specific problems posed by each study.
• Learn new business vocabulary, target language and grammar.
• Prepare either group or individual presentations of their conclusions to the problems posed by each case study.
• Write reports, e mails or letters setting out their conclusions from the case studies.
