English for the Workplace

This course seeks to develop further the concepts discussed in the first semester courses ‘Everyday English-1’ and ‘Everyday English-2’. In keeping with the functional and communicative approach to teaching language, this course will build on the students’ knowledge of how to use English for general communicative functions and move towards equipping learners to use English for more specialized communication in the context of the workplace. This course will thus include sessions on various professional language-related skills, including professional communication over email and the telephone, meeting etiquette, and basic presentation skills.
