To establish clear goals, we meet with your team prior to the start of each course for a complimentary English assessment, from which we determine both their current English level and their professional needs. We share the results of the test in a report and then mutually agree on targets and topics for the course. We regularly assess your team members’ progress throughout the course and communicate this to you and provide a grade and personalised feedback for each team member on completion of the course. 

In English language teaching there are many strategies that our trainers use to help your team members understand them even if they don't speak much English.

Here are some examples

1. Use of visual aids: our trainers frequently use pictures, diagrams or videos to support their verbal explanations. This can help students to better understand the meaning of new vocabulary and concepts. 
2. Simplified language: our trainers modify their use of language to make it simpler and more understandable for their students. This can include using shorter sentences, avoiding complex vocabulary and speaking more slowly and enunciating clearly. 
3. Use of body language: our trainers use gestures, facial expressions and other forms of non-verbal communication to help convey meaning. This can be especially helpful for students who may struggle to understand spoken language. 
4. Encourage participation: our trainers create opportunities for students to practise their English skills through activities such as group work and role-plays. This can help students to build confidence and improve their ability to understand and communicate in English. 

Our trainers generally avoid using translation in class because it can hinder language acquisition and limit students' ability to think and communicate in English. 

As well as conducting a needs analysis with representatives from your company to develop clear learning objectives, we also develop a customised curriculum that incorporates the specific language needs and learning objectives of the company. 

During the lessons, we include industry-specific and authentic materials related to your company's industry to ensure that the language and skills being taught are relevant and applicable. Our trainers also take into account the individual needs and learning styles of your team members when preparing and delivering the course and regularly assess their progress throughout.

We recognise that it can be challenging to find time for English language learning amidst other priorities. That's why our courses are structured with your busy schedule in mind.

Most courses consist of 15 lessons, each lasting 2 hours, and are conducted once a week. For those with particularly demanding schedules, we also offer targeted training in the form of workshops, which typically run for 6-10 hours in total.

If you don't have a suitable venue for training, no problem. We can host the sessions at our DSEDJ licensed Learning Centre located conveniently in the Nam Wan area of Macao. Alternatively, we can also offer training courses online through a videoconferencing platform. 

Our English training courses provide a range of benefits, both in terms of hard skills (such as improved language proficiency) and soft skills (such as better communication and collaboration in the workplace). 

Hard skills: our well-structured courses can lead to noticeable improvements in the participants’ ability to communicate in written and spoken English. They can expect to learn and use new vocabulary and grammatical structures relevant to their profession, as well as gain confidence in using the language in a business context. 

Soft skills: courses can help participants improve their communication skills, including active listening, effective questioning and summarising. They can also improve their ability to collaborate with colleagues, present ideas and negotiate effectively. 

To ensure each course is effective, we customise the course content to the participants' specific needs and goals. Courses also include regular feedback so that participants can track their progress and address any areas of weakness. 

Upon completion of a full course, all team members will be awarded a graded certificate of attendance. The certificate will include a summary of the course and a personalized comment on their performance and progress. Our courses are benchmarked against Trinity College London's Graded Examinations in Spoken English (GESE), ensuring that the learning outcomes are aligned with international standards. 

For businesses seeking internationally recognised English qualifications for their team members, we offer the opportunity to participate in GESE examinations. These examinations are held twice a year at our Learning Centre, providing a convenient and efficient way for team members to obtain an internationally recognised qualification in English proficiency. 

We understand that small groups of team members in a company may have specific needs when it comes to their business English skills. That's why our courses are highly adaptable and can be customised to focus on specific skills such as report writing, presentation skills or any other relevant area that your team requires.

Additionally, we can offer one-to-one mentoring for those who need more personalised attention. With our expertise in business English training, we can help your team members improve their communication skills and achieve their professional goals.
