Business-English

Our special interactive high impact courses enable you to learn language in the most effective way possible. All of the programmes are tailored to suit specific tasks and activities and are available for English, Spanish, French, Italian and German.

International Negotiations

If you already boast excellent knowledge of your chosen language, this special course will help you to further develop your communication skills when it comes to holding international negotiations.

We use simulations, role-plays, recordings and regular feedback to enable you to understand the different communication styles and characteristics of other language cultures and to integrate them into your personal style. We provide you with vital intercultural expertise for even more successful negotiations.

Presentations

Successful communication depends on more than just the effective use of spoken language. This course uses video recordings followed by critical analysis to introduce you to the subtleties of body language, voice control and interaction with your audience and to teach you how to use persuasive, informative and entertaining techniques in a targeted manner. It will enable you to perform successfully in front of an international audience.

Speech Preparation

This course is specifically tailored to suit individuals who want to make a speech in a foreign language. We help participants polish up the linguistic aspects of their speech before recording it on camera and then analysing it from a variety of different angles. We also discuss potential questions from the audience and practice answering these questions together with participants.

Social Contact in the Business World / Small Talk

This course will help to improve your competence where social contact with an international audience is concerned. It uses typical situations taken from the everyday working lives of business travellers and individuals who have contact with international visitors or work in an international environment to provide practical teaching of the course content. Make the most of this special task-based foreign language training to improve your intercultural competence when professionally dealing with international contacts.

The challenges and demands facing us in our working lives are constantly changing, becoming more complex and requiring increased flexibility as they follow the rhythm of the world surrounding us.

A foreign language will not only help them to access a new culture and achieve even more success in their future careers, but also provide synergistic effects that will aid their acquisition of their native language. One of the most important aims of our courses for children is to provide them with fun learning activities in a playful and happy setting. We offer language courses in English, French, Spanish and Italian for children aged between 8 and 13 years old.

Our children's language courses are specially tailored to suit the needs of young school pupils by teaching them in a fun educational manner. As is also the case with our other courses, our children's language courses are provided by native speakers with competent educational training who not only teach children a new language, but also give them the intercultural knowledge required to access other cultures. We want to support your child's natural curiosity. As can be expected on the basis of our other courses, we also provide optimal support for participants in our children's language courses by using both well-established materials (e.g. children's textbooks and role-play activities) and modern interactive media (e.g. Smart Boards and computers) and working in small groups.
