You will find the first semester of the MBA program to be rigorous and fast-paced. Even the most proficient speakers of English have some difficulty acclimating to the rapid speech patterns of American professors and students. Success in the classroom and in the workplace depends upon your ability to take in large amounts of information and to understand rapid-fire communication using specific business terminology and concepts.
We are pleased to offer you opportunities for you to sharpen your business English skills this summer. If you are comfortable with individual, customized study and coaching, we recommend B-Speak: English for MBA Students.
Customized, one-on-one lessons conducted online by certified language trainers, designed to increase your fluency, accuracy, writing, and comprehensibility of business English. Courses are offered 12 months a year and can help you to:
improve your pronunciation and build your confidence when speaking English in social, professional, and academic settings
expand your vocabulary
perfect your grammar
strengthen your business writing
increase your knowledge of U.S. customs and business etiquette
Your unique language challenges are the focus; North American business is the context. Students will take an English assessment before and after completing the course providing a good measure of improvement. Learn more about the program and register for a flexible schedule.
