This all begins with our commitment toquality language classes and the establishment of Englishcommunication skills as a core priority in the curriculum atECE, where we fully un<strong>de</strong>rstand that speaking a languagethat is un<strong>de</strong>rstood by <strong>de</strong>cision makers is critical for businesssuccess in today’s world. By favoring small classes and providinginstruction and practice in oral and written Englishcommunication using business-related topics as its contentbase, ECE encourages its stu<strong>de</strong>nts to participate actively insituations they are sure to encounter in their future businesslives. Brainstorming, creating, discussing, presenting andnegociating issues from textbooks, case studies, vi<strong>de</strong>o, currentbusiness journal and newspaper articles all constitutea main emphasis in our classrooms. Through such a casemethod, our stu<strong>de</strong>nts are exposed to real-life situations thatare relevant, intellectually engaging and highly interactive.This creates a challenging learning environment that encourageseveryone to share opinions and perspectives and learnfrom each other.Mieux comprendre les relations internationalesLes jeunes diplômés doivent être capables d’intégrer <strong>de</strong>s groupes <strong>de</strong> projet internationauxet multiculturels ; pour cela, en plus <strong>de</strong>s cours techniques liés aux affairesinternationales, le cursus prévoit dans le département Culture et Environnementnotamment, <strong>de</strong>s cours tels que : Géopolitique, Culture générale européenne, Histoire<strong>de</strong>s Idées, revue <strong>de</strong> presse internationale, étu<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>s marchés extérieurs et <strong>de</strong> leursspécificités.
