Business English in Dublin
Classes focus on improving your communication skills by building on grammar structures and enhancing vocabulary, listening, reading, and writing skills in a business context. Each course is designed specifically for individuals or groups, tailored to their unique needs. You’ll gain access to a variety of digital resources to support independent study and foster lifelong language learning.
Methodology:
Classroom activities and homework are available on Google Classroom, where students complete assignments before the next session. Feedback and discussions on these exercises take place during class, maximizing flexibility and allowing students to revisit materials at their convenience. This approach promotes ownership of learning, while class time emphasizes building spoken fluency and confidence.
The course uses materials from Cambridge's Business Benchmark, Pearson's Market Leader series, worksheets from Linguahouse and ESL Brains, along with articles, audio, and video content from reputable sources like BBC News, CNN, Sky News, and TED Talks.

In addition, you will receive a certificate of attendance; outlining the duration of your course, and the proficiency level attained.
