English for Work and Business (EWB)

The English for Work and Business (EWB) Program is designed for professionals, business people and university students. This program includes 25 hours per week of intensive instruction. Certificate and Diploma programs are available.
Students in this program take three classes each day: Business Oral Skills, Business Writing, and Business Concepts. Although the program uses topics from work and business, the main focus is English.

Business Oral Skills
You will learn a variety of work and business communication skills (meetings, interviews, presentations, telephone calls, negotiations, etc.) and use them with confidence and accuracy. You will also improve your English pronunciation and oral fluency, public speaking and presentation. Your class speeches will be videotaped for review and faster learning.

Business Writing
You will learn to write clearly and accurately for all types of work and business communication (letters, faxes, email, memos, resumes, reports, etc.). You will also improve your grammar and your business English vocabulary. You will use a computer lab for your work and assignments

Business Concepts
You will explore various work and business related concepts (marketing, finance, management, international trade, globalization, etc.), and review the principles of business, cultural differences in international communication, and the use of idiomatic expressions. You will also work on individual and group projects, give presentations, go on business field trips, and work on practical case studies.

The EWB program is available to students ages 19+, and is offered at the intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced levels.
