This course is for learners with basic skills in grammar and syntax, even if acquired quite a while ago, such as at school (A2/B1).

Contents of the course include:

• Writing business e-mails
• Making phone calls in business life
• Small talk in a business environment

We will be looking at the typical expressions you will need in order to talk and write English in the business world, both on a very formal and on a rather colloquial level, depending on the type of people you are communicating with (e.g. colleagues, customers, business partners). In addition to a variety of written exercises, you will also have the opportunity to practise business English orally, in the form of role play and pair work.

There will be a lunch break at about 1 p.m.
