Presentation Seminar B2+

Do presentations make you nervous? How about delivering one in English? Don’t worry, attending one of our weekend seminars will make the whole experience seem more like a walk in the park...

Let our instructor highlight the structure and content of English presentations for you, teach you about standard expressions for navigating your information and add a few tips on any accompanying visuals such as white board or flip charts, posters, presentations using video or overhead projectors, etc.

Students should bring their B1 level or better English speaking skills to this seminar and expect to leave with a better understanding of how to make presentations more effective, to avoid language and other potential weaknesses and focus on strengths.

Job application B2+

For better or worse, the impact of globalization on Europe and the rest of the world is resulting in more and more companies declaring English to be the official company language. The expectation of many companies is that job hunters applying for positions must do so in English. To this end, we have designed a weekend workshop to assist you in polishing your presentation of yourself.

First we will take a look at your Curriculum Vitae, cover letters, follow-up letters, etc. and check them for spelling, formatting and style issues. Then we will discuss oral interviews from a language as well as a psychological perspective.

Students should bring their current application materials (CV, cover letter, etc.). We will optimize them so that students have a perfect CV and resume in English that they can use as a template right away or in the future. Students will be asked general interview questions and responses will be evaluated and improved as far as possible.
