A few class snippets

Course: Travel English

A vocabulary lesson

Student’s goal: travel abroad

In this class, we revised basic concepts he’d already covered. The idea was to contextualise everyday vocabulary to make it both automatic and natural for him when he travels.

Cultural goal: communicate politely with the cabin crew.

Legal English

Vocabulary

Student’s goal: improve his English and build up his confidence to communicate in a legal setting

In this class we covered the different paths law students may take. The goal was to improve his skills to compare legal systems and explain to peers what the system is like in his home country.

Business English

Pronunciation / listening

This is the feedback stage of a lesson where my student did a business presentation. We revised pronunciation of key terms he’d discussed.

Instrumental English

Reading skills

Complete preparation for the proficiency test at the university of your choice. In this class, Jessica, who scored 80% on the UFMG proficiency exam, trained strategies on how to answer the test questions and what is expected of the candidate.

Curso: Business English

corporate writing

Two central components worked on in the Business English course are accuracy in written corporate correspondence and cultural differences. We work on grammar and lexical content based on practical examples, either through the correction of texts already written by the student, as well as through tasks similar to what she needs to do at work.
