The Linguaphone Business English course uses the Business Case Study method typical to MBA programs. There are 12 cases, highlighting a different business situation. The cases are spread out over 15 countries/regions of the world, so you learn a range of realistic business dialogues from across the global spectrum.
|
| The case studies are based on topical, true-to-life business situations e.g. job interviews, increasing market share, franchising and management buyouts. Each case presents a strong storyline and uses dramatic techniques to involve and motivate the student. On completing the course the learner is able to: |
 |

Read and understand articles in trade and professional magazines |

The program follows the Modular Case-Based Learning System, and the flexible course structure allows the learner to study the cases best suited to the most immediate language and business needs. The tutor-supported English courses are offered through your training centre.

The program presents both British and American English, representative of English as it is spoken around the world and enabling the student to become familiar with a wide variety of national and regional accents.
