When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

The purpose of this course is to provide linguistic tools for effective interaction strategies in the professional context, according to what is established in the lower-intermediate level (B1) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Organizations from different sectors, such as agriculture, mining, industry, and hotels and tourism, require officials and administrators capable of using and applying English competitively in their work activities, to facilitate their interaction with English-speaking peers and thus position and consolidate themselves in the national and international markets. For this reason, by expanding your lexical and grammatical inventory in the English language, the professional value increases, increasing labor skills and, consequently, providing greater mobility in this regard. The course, which is self-instructional, uses videos and reading texts in order to contextualize recurring work situations. The lexical and syntactic forms reviewed in each module are presented through characters and avatars that are part of the course narrative. There are also content application exercises in response to the virtual teacher's expository capsules.

Détails du module

Welcome to English for Interactions in the Workplace! In this course, we will analyze the essential lexical-grammatical structures in the linguistic expression of effective interaction strategies, such as: work context, personal events, events and work habits in the workplace, at an intermediate level. Each module is divided into two lessons. Lesson 1 of each module contains a video of the English used in context, and then a Focus on Grammar and a Focus on Vocabulary. Lesson 2 contains a reading text, and then a Focus on Grammar and a Focus on Vocabulary. At the end of each module, you’ll find a Formative Test, a Module Test, a Glossary, and a Summary. Notice that each Module Test counts as 10% of your final grade. During the final week of the course, be sure to complete the Final Exam, which counts as 60% of your final grade. We’re glad to have you with us! Let’s get started! During this first week, take time to familiarize yourself with the contents of the entire course. You can begin working on Week 2 anytime you like.
