Mål
Many Norwegians feel that their English is basically up to par. But when it comes to using English on the job when working with non-Norwegian-speaking colleagues and customers, communicating with business partners or establishing an agreement abroad, they often feel they could do a good deal better. This course has been developed to provide practical, business-oriented language and communication training to people in this situation.
Major elements:
- Writing English correctly in a professional context
- Increasing your vocabulary
- Improving your ability to discuss, argue a point and present material in English
