English for Engineers
English communication designed by engineers and language specialists, for engineers.
What skills do you focus on in the course?
Instructors provide tailored advice to each student.
We don’t use textbooks or handouts in class. Instead, we use real-life situations to help you acquire and actually use new expressions and grammar structures.
We give you the skills you need to thrive in an all-English environment, particularly in the IT industry. Presentations, active listening, and group discussion strategies are the highlight of this course.
Previous students have this to say:
This program is for:
1
People who want to communicate proactively with English-speaking team members or managers.
2
People who need to give impressive presentations to English speaking clients.
3
Coding beginners who are interested in a career related to software engineering or programming and want to learn the lingo that goes along with it.
Non-engineers who are interested in tech are also welcome!
