We have been teaching languages in companies for many years, with excellent results. The courses focus primarily on communication, but in English we can also help people to prepare for exams for the various University of Cambridge certificates at the levels achieved.
Our experience and methods and stringent checks on the teaching quality are reflected in the courses offered by Espace.
The courses, face to face or in groups and held at your offices, are all personalised and tailor made to your needs (for instance, concentrating on business, technical or marketing aspects), and follow the guidelines of the Council of Europe.
Achieving certain levels in the English courses means that exams can be taken for the Cambridge University diplomas or for the TOEFL (Test of English as a foreign language), or for the various certificates necessary for enrolling in universities abroad.
The teachers (all mother-tongue or fully bilingual) have extensive experience in teaching their specialist language.
The main aim of Espace courses is to prepare students to be able to communicate in the language being learnt in a way that is both correct and appropriate to real situations.
The programme of study will be created after taking an assessment test and depending on the level of English to be reached, and can be customised in order to learn the specific vocabulary and terminology for the sector in which the company operates.
Our approach is therefore communicative and, since every student learns in a different way, our teachers apply a personalised method to accord with the needs of the group. This means that the lesson doesn’t just involve grammar, but also the development of the ability of the students to understand and use the language as spoken and written.
A wide array of material is used during teaching, which also includes audiovisual equipment and magazines.
Students are periodically given learning assessment tests, attendance and progress reports are compiled and students are also asked to give their assessment of the courses which enables us to continually monitor the teaching and the development of the courses.
Espace also offers an advisory and booking service for stays abroad for work and adult language courses.
The schools we select and propose are guaranteed since they all form part of associations that have the specific aim of ensuring a high level of language teaching in Europe and worldwide.
