Corporate programmes

At Globus International, our clients truly are № 1. That's why we aim to design our courses to fit the participant - we do not try and make the participant fit a pre-designed programme of study.

The lessons can be organised individually or in groups at your home or office.

General English

These courses are tailored to suit participants ranging from absolute beginners to highly advanced. The main aim of these courses is communication. Therefore to have the participant speaking English as soon as possible, special emphasis is put on everyday situations and vocabulary, whilst being underpinned by the underlying structures of English grammar. The course will further focus on receptive skills, to improve the participants' listening and reading skills.

Business English courses aim to provide a working knowledge of business communication. These courses usually examine four main areas - the first being Accuracy and therefore look at the correct use of grammar and vocabulary.

The third looks at Skills and provides training in meetings, telephoning, socialising, presentations etc. The final area of focus is Communication, working on fluency, pronunciation, intonation and confidence. The content of the course is not fixed, however, and is changed according to demands of the members of the group.
