Individual Tuition in Foreign Languages
Business Track Programmes - Effective Learning
Linguarama's Business Track Programmes maximise your potential to learn whichever language you are learning. They not only prepare you before your Individual Language Course but also help you to develop strategies for continued learning afterwards.
As the Language Courses are individual, the programmes are designed to meet the training requirements of each participant, taking into account such practical areas as:
- your current language level
- your experience of language learning
- how you will be using the language - for meetings or presentations, for social events or just for getting about in the country
- whether you will be reading reports or taking minutes
- whether you need specific technical vocabulary in your work
Course types
Power Track - full-time courses from 09.30 to 17.30 including a working lunch with a trainer. These courses offer maximum exposure to the target language and are the most productive way to achieve rapid results.
Fast Track - full-day intensive programmes which still leave room for review and self-study. Typical course times are from 09.30 to 16.15 including a 45 minute lunch break.
Dual Track - half-day programmes providing more gradual development and allowing you the option to supplement classroom tuition with more extensive self-study or to continue working while doing a Business Track course. Course times are flexible, e.g. 08.30 - 12.30; 13.30 - 17.30.
Development Programmes - one-to-one courses designed to ensure that your learning is as effective as possible. They are taken as a series of separate training sessions over a period of three to four months. The timetable is agreed in advance but can be adapted to fit in with your work schedule.
The Training Process
Preparing to Learn
The first steps to effective learning are:
- Detailed training needs analysis
- Diagnostic assessment based on the Linguarama Language Competence Levels
- Individual Course Profile identifying key objectives
- Tailored pre-course task
Active Learning
A Linguarama Business Track Course is carefully planned and taught by a team of experienced trainers and will typically contain:
Practical and effective communication skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing
- Introduction and application of grammatical structures
- Appropriate professional vocabulary and accurate pronunciation
- Role-play practice in relevant business and social situations
- Integrated Personal Study to develop independent learning skills
- Development of a Personal Learning Plan for continued study
Throughout the course there are regular progress checks and feedback to ensure the programme is on target and meets your individual specifications.
Continuing to Learn
You will finish with a Progress Review to assess what you have accomplished and plan the best way to extend your skills. You will also receive a Post-Course Task to help you consolidate and develop what you have learnt.
