|
| Personalized Instruction |
Experienced Business English instructors with Masters
degrees and PhD’s provide daily interaction and feedback. Assignments and
discussion topics are integrated into the curriculum. |
Tutors with little ESL experience and no Business English
experience are available to “chat.” Grammar questions are answered by email.
|
| Virtual Classroom Environment |
Our multimedia approach and emphasis on dynamic interactivity
with instructors increase retention and respect each student’s individual
assimilation time. |
Most online courses are developed from CD-ROMs and allow
primarily for computer-generated interactivity.
|
| Functionally-Based Learning |
Common business scenarios are featured to increase participants’
competency in real-life situations. The emphasis is on effective business
communication skills, not on reviewing grammar. |
The emphasis is on studying grammar and vocabulary in
a business setting.
|
| International Award-Winning
Materials |
Our English for Global Business series is based on the
book by the same name, which won International TESOL's Materials Writing
Award. |
Much of the material stays on a superficial level and
involves pointing and clicking only.
|
| Cultural Information |
Cross-cultural information is incorporated into course
material and explored further in discussions. |
Very little attention is given to cross-cultural issues.
|
| Assessment and Tracking Tools |
In addition to the instructors’ careful assessment and
personalized feedback, we also provide detailed progress reports to training
or HR departments. This enables training personnel to determine levels
of participation and progress. |
With limited contact, tutors are not able to assess a
participant’s language skills or draw up detailed, individualized reports
for training departments.
|
| Completion Rate |
Completion for BizEnglish courses is 95% due to daily
teacher involvement, top quality materials and accountability. |
As reported by the industry itself, most online courses
have a 10% completion rate.
|
| Blended Learning Solution |
We offer intensive onsite programs, structured telephone
tutoring and customized Internet or email courses for a complete blended
learning solution. |
Only the online medium is used to deliver classes.
