How OISE will help you achieve your goals
The course consists of either a Full Individual programme or a Shared Individual programme. Both programmes include time for personal preparation work, consolidation work, research and multi-media assignments.

Typically the course covers:

• review of the grammar points still needing attention to develop accuracy in the use of the language
• development of the vocabulary used in business situations including small talk for cross-cultural bonding
• interactive and dynamic oral practice sessions to encourage the expression of ideas and opinions, incorporating new vocabulary and idioms as well as manipulating sophisticated and more complex language structures
• comprehension practice to help the participants acquire a comfortable understanding of a written document or a spoken presentation, be it of a general nature or business related
• role-plays to simulate a wide range of business scenarios including presentations, negotiations, telephone conversations, and meetings.

Throughout the programme students are actively encouraged to express their opinions as they would in their own workplace.
