Business English Course
The core syllabus of Business English focuses on three main business functions – presentations, meetings, and social exchanges. The syllabus covers the key areas of telephoning, formal and informal meetings, presentations, negotiations, business writing and socialising within the work environment.
In addition to the core syllabus, courses are organised, as much as possible, around students’ requirements and can include topics such as Communication, Management and Management Styles, Financial Planning, Quality Control, Project Management, Marketing, Public Relations, Customer Service, Crisis Management, Mergers and Acquisitions.
Lessons include a focus on relevant grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, as well as on skills practice (reading, writing, speaking and listening) within a business context.
Ih Cape Town is approved for Bildungsurlaub in Germany.

Why the change?
The new timetable is aimed at improving the overall ‘student experience’ by creating a network of social learning spaces. In addition to classroom learning, this will include
● creating opportunities for interaction with a greater number of students and teachers
● providing students with a Personal Study Programme that caters to their individual needs, without the expense of 1:1
lessons
● enabling students to reach personal goals as quickly as possible through the development of independent learning
skills
● offering a wider range of print and online study resources
● improving access to facilities and staff through the implementation of a more flexible schedule.
