Erasmus+ Stage 2: English for Professional Communication

Future Learning’s Adult Course is divided into three stages according to English language level. At each stage the exit criteria are those specified in the relevant Integrated Skills Exam (ISE) for ILEP purposes by Trinity College London.

Effective communication is about more than just the language, it is about engagement with the culture of the company in an appropriate way.

Learner Profile

Erasmus+ students who join this course have an B1 (intermediate) level of English and are working towards achieving B2. The learning activities are designed to develop participants’ communication skills through English and enable them to progress professionally in an English speaking environment.

Learner Outcomes

During the course, participants work on a project to improve their communication, collaboration, creative problem solving, and critical thinking skills, and work toward achieving the following communicative outcomes from the CEFR:

Understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics.
Participate in technical discussions in their field of professional specialisation.
Interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular professional interaction with first language speakers quite possible without strain for either party.
Produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
