This 16-hour online course will help you further practice your business speaking skills in English, feel confident participating in business discussions, and stay up-to-date with current and emerging business issues.
Based on news stories from the international business media, such as Harvard Business Review, Financial Times, Youtube and TED talks, each session will examine the relevant vocabulary, discuss the meaning, and unpack the implications of the story under discussion. Different activities, like discussions, role-plays, case studies, or short presentations will also be used in class. The program is taught in small groups of up to 12 people. There is no homework.
