Then, the participants take over the key roles, and Language Key continues to perform the role of General Evaluator. Constructive feedback, areas for improvement and direction on self-study resources to enhance public speaking skills are provided in each session.

This club is ideal for Graduate Trainees, Junior and Middle Management, as well as any staff member who needs to conduct presentations in English.

English Club

Designed to be an informal, fun and dynamic club that allows your staff to practice English in a relaxed and friendly environment, this club helps encourage speaking and build confidence.

The format is flexible with input from the participants sought before and during the club. However, each session usually consists of a learning point or topic such as socialising, cultural awareness, colloquialisms and slang, hot topics in the news, telling narratives, impromptu speaking and media sessions to name but a few.

Sessions consist of group discussions, language games and activities, use of media, board games, role-plays and an activity related to understanding colloquial expressions.

In addition to these sessions, on occasions, social events can be incorporated as part of the program such as a lunch gathering or evening drinks, so that the participants have an opportunity to practice their English outside of the office in a social context.

English Clinic

English Clinics allow companies to create an intensive English learning and support environment within their own organization. The Language Key can provide trainers to be in-house so that any member of staff can utilize their service, whether it is to practice their English, ask specific questions related to the use of English or receive feedback on their documentation or other work-related scenarios such as presentations. Trainers can be utilized either on a 1:1 basis or in small groups and Language Key Customer Relationship Managers are there to support the logistical arrangements. A highly flexible and mass language learning solution for your staff.
