• A review of grammar that needs attention for development of accuracy is carried out during guided preparation
• Development of new vocabulary used in business situations
• Interactive and dynamic oral practice sessions to encourage the expression of ideas and opinions
• Comprehension practice to help gain a comfortable understanding of a written document or a spoken presentation

Role-plays are also used to simulate a wide range of business scenarios including presentations, negotiations, telephone conversations, interviews and meetings.
