English For Business

Kursbeschreibung

Linguaskill Business measures the ability of non-native speakers to communicate in English in everyday business environments. The course is an excellent choice for students who plan to use English for business or the workplace. Students receive pre-tests and the official test is offered at the college every 4 weeks.

Linguaskill Business is a replacement of BULATS, and is a reliable way of assessing the language ability of employees or trainees. VanWest College is the only official test provider in Canada.

Although the course maintains a strong focus on test-preparation, the course is highly suitable for any student who wants deeper understanding and practice with modern Business English.

The course includes reading and listening skills, writing practice for emails, letters and reports, models for up‐ to‐date business language, grammar and vocabulary exercises to train students to avoid common mistakes, role plays of common business scenarios, and ample speaking practice, from solo presentations to group discussions.
