The Course

The participant's Language Training Course is based on the analysis of his/her "real needs". This needs analysis takes place a few weeks before the participant's departure and is carried out by the Head of the Training department at the participant's place of work. 


The use of material made available at the Training Center (audiovisual aids, computers, specialized manuals and magazines) facilitates the participant to integrate individual learning into the classroom. 





Structure

The needs analysis indentifies clearly: 


  • the participant's objectives and aims 
  • useful material and tools 
  • “business oriented” meetings (lunch breaks with American professionals and visits to companies in the Pensacola area)
  •  practice and exercise “English in action” 

 

The lessons are structured so that they are interactive and entertaining. 

The Trainer's primary goal is to enable the manager (or professional) to obtain complete familiarity with the English language, so that he/she can express him/herself correctly and, most importantly, manage to understand perfectly the person he is speaking to. 

Method

The method is communicative. It is focused on the practice and listening comprehension of the language, and deals with the various phases of communication using the English language, highlighting the cultural differences that affect ways of expressing oneself (particularly in the world of business).  
The Trainer's role is that of a “Tutor”, to assist and guide the first-hand learning of the participant, which is the "core" of the language program.

All the services you need,
all in one place.

The group training takes place only a few times a year with a selected small group (max. 6 participants) of professionals, similar level of English and professional goals.  We therefore advise those who are interested in attending Courses to reserve their Course as soon as possible (first come-first served basis).
