Business & Corporate English Services
Local, regional businesses in Italy have very little time or ability to access English services to support their ongoing English needs. They are principally focused on the day-to-day operation and development of their business in Italy, especially during the current tough economic climate. We make accessing essential Business and Corporate English services affordable and easy by delivering a range of corporate language services direct to local businesses, organisations and associations. Our services are flexible and tailored to our clients’ needs and can include in-house Direct Method English Language programs for business requirements and situations, business translation and interpretation services, website and marketing material translation services, English speaking recordings for phones and more. We tailor our services to meet our Corporate client’s needs.
Our Direct Method English Program is delivered using the Direct Language Lab Business English coursebooks. These are available in three independent titles aimed at adults who want to improve their professional English.
1 Get Down to Business
2 Marketing & Management
3 Finances & Industry
The coursebooks combine the advantages of the direct and communicative methods. The direct method enables students to master the most essential skills – speaking and listening comprehension – in a fast, effective and modern way. The communicative method helps consolidate English grammar and vocabulary in real everyday life context.
