Group Tuition<br />
Executive Group Programme Executive Group Comb<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
Executive Group Programme:<br />
Our Executive Group Programmes are comprised of participants with similar levels<br />
and needs. This means that each group is work<strong>in</strong>g towards the same overall learn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
objectives. A detailed Needs Analysis and a Language Assessment of each delegate<br />
before the start of the course ensure that the groups are not only homogenous but<br />
also share common learn<strong>in</strong>g objectives. We guarantee a maximum of 6 participants<br />
per group, although <strong>in</strong> practice the group size is often much smaller. This creates an<br />
<strong>in</strong>tensive, highly productive learn<strong>in</strong>g environment.<br />
■<br />
■<br />
■<br />
■<br />
■<br />
■<br />
■<br />
We design and tailor our programmes accord<strong>in</strong>g to the needs and requirements<br />
of the participants. This means that each programme is unique.<br />
We use case studies and bus<strong>in</strong>ess simulations which are relevant to the<br />
participants’ needs. You will therefore be able to apply what you learn <strong>in</strong> bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
situations.<br />
With participants from all over the world you are exposed to different accents,<br />
different approaches to bus<strong>in</strong>ess problems and different cultural backgrounds.<br />
This improves your ability to participate <strong>in</strong> bus<strong>in</strong>ess at an <strong>in</strong>ternational level.<br />
Our tra<strong>in</strong>ers are qualified, experienced and bus<strong>in</strong>ess-m<strong>in</strong>ded <strong>in</strong> their approach.<br />
Many have a bus<strong>in</strong>ess as well as a language tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g background. They have lived<br />
and worked <strong>in</strong> many different countries. They work with the participants to<br />
ensure that their needs are fully met and that they leave with the language skills<br />
needed to work more effectively.<br />
We cont<strong>in</strong>ually monitor and review progress throughout the programme. The<br />
learn<strong>in</strong>g programme can be modified and changed at any po<strong>in</strong>t to ensure that<br />
needs are always be<strong>in</strong>g met.<br />
We use the latest technology to support your learn<strong>in</strong>g – the <strong>in</strong>ternet, podcasts<br />
and authentic video clips all feature prom<strong>in</strong>ently <strong>in</strong> the programme. Participants<br />
take away personalised record<strong>in</strong>gs of their work <strong>in</strong> areas such as pronunciation,<br />
discussions and presentations. They can review their work once they have<br />
returned home.<br />
At the end of each day, there is a selection of optional workshops which offer the<br />
chance to focus more on learn<strong>in</strong>g strategies (e.g. how to learn vocabulary, how<br />
to listen to <strong>English</strong> more effectively etc.) which enable participants to cont<strong>in</strong>ue<br />
build<strong>in</strong>g on their skills after our tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Executive Group Comb<strong>in</strong>ation:<br />
Our Executive Group Comb<strong>in</strong>ation programme comb<strong>in</strong>es half-day <strong>in</strong>tensive <strong>in</strong>dividual<br />
tuition with half-day group tuition. The comb<strong>in</strong>ation is particularly useful if you wish<br />
to participate <strong>in</strong> group activities such as meet<strong>in</strong>gs and negotiations but also have<br />
some very specific needs. You may need to improve your technical vocabulary relative<br />
to a particular <strong>in</strong>dustry or to prepare a specialised report for presentation to a client<br />
etc. In the <strong>in</strong>dividual part of your comb<strong>in</strong>ation course, you will be able to work<br />
entirely on your own needs, optimis<strong>in</strong>g the time available to you.<br />
Dur<strong>in</strong>g both courses you will:<br />
■ Develop effective communication skills <strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>ternational environment<br />
