The Business English Conversation Workshop 

Every Tuesday between 7 and 9pm. Two hours of business English conversation, led by a native English teacher.

So, you want to improve your English for professional reasons, perhaps you work for an international company in Paris, you have clients overseas, you have a job interview in English coming up or you just have an interest in discussing business topics. Whatever the reason join us at the Business English Conversation workshop. A business English lesson with a difference.

What's happening NOW ?

A word of warning. This is NOT your standard business lesson. In this lesson we talk about what's happening today in the world of business and how it affects our everyday lives. Whether it be Brexit, Bitcoin, Driverless cars, the e-economy, doing business in France. We'll talk about it. There are no taboo topics.

TODAY

We don't follow text books (probably written years ago) We want an engaging, thoughtful discussion on topics that are changing our world right now! Just like in all our lessons there are no written exercises. Our innovative method is based on correction and explanation of key concepts in the context of the conversation.

Interesting Conversations

If you like having interesting discussions on a range of topics. Then this is the lesson for you. Come and discuss the most important events  affecting our lives today and we will guide you to express yourself clearly and effectively in English.

Your Level

This group is reserved for learners with an intermediate and advanced level. However your willingness to engage in a discussion with the group is often more important than your level.

Keep abreast of the business news

It's up to you

We often have requests to tackle a certain business subject (such as how to pass a job interview). Do let us know often we can base the workshop around a subject that interests (on condition that the other participants agree.

It's interactive

If we are tackling a subject such as negotiation we need to practice it. It's much more effective that way. So be prepared to join in with role plays and giving short presentations. If you don't like that then this workshop is not for you.

What you'll Learn

You'll improve your English expression and learn how to communicate more effectively in the professional sphere. In addition you'll improve your grammar (we always correct mistakes and explain grammar), you will extend your vocabulary and learn useful business idioms.

Think "Out of the Box"

Yes, that's an overused business cliché. Nevertheless we encourage original thinking. If you don't want to learn English as if you were still at school then join us today.

A Teacher with Experience in the Business Field

As well as having several years of teaching experience the teacher has worked in various roles in international companies before becoming and English teacher
