The Learning Experience
.jpg)
Your learning is based on individual, face-to-face sessions, with trainers chosen to suit your level and aims. You may also do some work in small groups where we think that will help your learning.
You will get the most out of Riversdown House if you come for a minimum of 2 weeks, and you can select the precise intensity of your training, depending on your exact needs and requirements.
Your programme will be supported by technology where appropriate, either with close guidance from a trainer, or outside the nine to five formal training time.
Some examples of what your programme may include:
- A review of your language structure and typical errors
- Improvement of your fluency and confidence
- Focus on grammar to support your key needs, such as describing processes or speculating about the future
- Improvement in your ability to interact with audiences
- Techniques for improving your presentation skills
- How to get your own way yet stay polite
- Social language to create the right climate for business
- Meeting and negotiation skills
- Vocabulary extension in your professional field
- Pronunciation and intonation practice with difficult words and phrases you cannot avoid
- Building trust with different cultures for better results
- Practice in adapting your message so other cultures will act on it
- Writing emails that have the effect you want
- Results-orientated remote communication in speech and writing
