Description
|
This course continues to develop the kinds of formal English that students will need to do business in a globalized world. Each class will introduce new language and strategies and will include a mini-meeting to practice the new material. The teacher will provide personalized feedback and students will have an opportunity to perfect their skills in discussion. Students do not need to take Business Meetings Lab 1 to take this course; however, it would be helpful.
