About the Course
Course Overview
English for professional setting course is made up of 20 lessons of 1.5 hours each contained in 10 units (30 hours in total).
The course intends to be practical and applicable in which mock ones and real-life situations will be given after the lessons.
The course targets the students who are professionals entering or already working in internationally oriented organizations in Myanmar. The course will prepare emerging and existing professionals for a variety of workplace contexts, such as NGO/INGO, international or internationally focused business, health, political/advocacy sphere, and others and for effectively functioning in these work contexts via both written and oral communication.
Language-wise, the course is content based and the student should have at least pre-intermediate level as the course strongly focuses on professional functions and work process and less so on the English language aspects. The lexis and language exercises and practice materials included in the course are only serving a supporting and scaffolding role.
