BUSINESS
ENGLISH & SPECIALISED COURSES
Who are the courses for?
These courses are designed for:
• businessmen or businesswomen who wish to improve their
language skills in more specific areas than General English.
• college students who will soon be entering the world
of business and wish to prepare for the day when they will
be applying for jobs.
• students who would like to study General English in
smaller classes
Students do not need to be in business to attend the courses.
Small groups
Courses take place in small groups (maximum 5 students), or
one-to-one and are very intensive with the maximum of personal
attention given to the precise language needs of course participants.
Course content
Courses look at not only language structure but also the language
required for successful operation in many business or professional
situations. These typically include speaking at meetings,
giving effective presentations, making telephone calls, writing
reports, Business English for social occasions, etc.
Many companies incorporate EIE courses into their management
training programmes. Some clients, for example, go directly
to give a presentation in English after studying with us –
we can help you ‘perfect’ your presentation before
you have to present it.
Courses are ‘tailor-made’, using a Needs Analysis,
(which students should complete in advance of arrival and
return to us so we can design the course), and by finalising/agreeing
the course content at the start the first morning. We understand
the importance of taking full advantage of every minute!
We offer all participants an optional exclusive social programme
with frequent lunch and evening events accompanied by EIEM
staff.
Students are presented with an Individual Linguistic Profile
and EIEM Certificate at the end of the course.
