English for Business Communication: Basic
Who is it for?
There is a problem with the way English is taught in Japan. The goal is to pass tests and there is little opportunity to use the language as a tool of communication. This course focuses on improving real business communication using the most useful and functional English expressions such as making suggestions, giving opinions, agreeing, and asking questions.
This course is for anyone that uses English for business communication in meetings or
discussions, either online or face-to-face or both. It is appropriate for students at all levels
and all contexts.
