Business English Summer School
Give your career a boost with a summer of study in beautiful Prague
22 August — 2 September 2022
English is the most widely spoken language in the world, with 1.5 billion speakers. The vast majority are not native speakers, but people who have learned it as a second language in order to access the many social, cultural, and professional opportunities available to English speakers in our globalised world.
As the universal language of business, English is spoken widely in offices, meeting rooms and boardrooms across all continents. Even if you have a good basic level of English, focusing on improving your Business English has many advantages. Through learning professional vocabulary and styles of tone and presentation, you’ll gain the communication skills and confidence to build strong workplace relationships, and set your career up for success.
