Seminars for professionals: Managing meetings

During these seminars, the participants are immersed in numerous situations with progressive difficulties. The approach is therefore very practical.
The many practical exercises will help you to deeply integrate the techniques.
The role-plays become progressively more complex, and are closely linked to your work.

For Whom?

For professionals who wish to increase their impact when leading or taking part in a meeting in a foreign language.

B1 - Intermediate: You can have a conversation with complex sentences (subclauses) in the present, the past and the future. You understand complete texts relating to well-known subjects (good passive knowledge). You write elaborate texts. Grammar is still approximate. You lack vocabulary in some daily topics.

B2 - Advanced Intermediate : At this professional level you can present your company, handle diffcult questions, deal with simple negotiation. You have good oral and written proficiency. Grammar is globally mastered but not all the rules are used spontaneously. You have difficulty using idioms. You still lack precise vocabulary.
