range of business situations.
Learning materials
The course is based on the course books Market Leader Business Grammar and Usage and Market
Leader New Edition Intermediate Business English Practice file and is supported by the virtual learning
environment Moodle. Tasks and assignments are listed in Moodle, such as reading a few chapters
from the book, submitting assignments, doing grammar, writing, listening and
speaking exercises, quizzes and much more. The course ends with an exit test.
Course length
The course is split into 6 blocks and we estimate that you will need about 3 - 6
months (3 - 5 hours a week) to study the course materials, complete the various
activities, prepare the assignments and follow up on the feedback provided by your
online teacher. However, there are no time limits or deadlines so you can take as
much time as you need. The initial enrolment period will be set to one year, but can
be extended if necessary.
Personal tutor
An experienced online teacher will support you throughout the programme. You work at your own
pace and place and at regular intervals in the course you will find assignments to complete and send
to your teacher. If you have any questions about the material or the assignments, you can always ask
your teacher.
