Course description

Students availing of this option follow the Standard General English course in the mornings and take the Business option three afternoons per week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays).

The Business Option is designed for students who wish to improve their communicative proficiency in a business environment. The course can be tailored to meet the needs of any particular group of students and focuses primarily on the specialised language of Business English in the following contexts:

* Meetings and Negotiations
* Socialising and Travel
* Oral and Written Presentations
* Analysing Figures / Describing Trends
* Sales / Marketing / Advertising
* Understanding Cultural Differences
* Oral and Written Communication (telephone, faxes, e-mails etc)

If students have any particular areas of Business English that they particularly need to focus on, the course may, under certain circumstances, be adapted to accommodate them.

Students studying on the business course in Dubiln can now also prepare for the internationally recognised BULATS exam.
