English Courses for Business in Coventry

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a English Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native English speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our English teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the English teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the English lessons start.

The way that modern languages are taught has gone through a revolution in the past few years. If you have only learned languages at school you will find that the experience now is vastly more fun and worthwhile. The Communicative Approach means that your English lessons in Coventry will be almost entirely through the medium of English. You will feel that you are making real progress, even in the first lesson, and will soon communicate in English with confidence, in a range of social and business environments.

We offer English courses as group sessions or on a 1:1 basis/ Most of our clients offer their employees 1:1 English training, however, if planned carefully, with participants numbering 6 or less who commit to meeting every week, group sessions can be good value for money. Those who learn English at Coventry on a 1:1 basis will find that they progress more quickly, as the lessons can be specifically tailored for their individual needs, strengths and weaknesses.

English Course Management

SIMON & SIMON’s English language courses all have a specific Account Manager who oversee the course. Each of these managers is highly experienced and multi-lingual. At the start of your English course, you will receive a profile on your trainer, course materials and a Course Plan. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will send you our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, which contains a wonderful prize draw as well as weblinks to valuable language learning resources.

SIMON & SIMON English language courses have been arranged for clients in various locations. We have a global network of trainers and wherever you are, we will be able to organise a English language course for you, not only in the UK but in almost any of the major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of our English courses are run at the offices of our clients so that you do not have to travel, but we are happy to arrange English training sessions for you in your home. Full-time English courses can be arranged in a residential setting for you. Our office has information on the locations we offer.

Coventry English Course Schedules

Our English language courses in Coventry take place throughout the year. Many of our students try to attend more than one weekly lesson if work commitments allow, and most will attend at least one session of 90-minutes duration per week. If you would like a Weekend Course, one can be arranged. Our English daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday. We also provide Intensive English language courses on clients’ premises or in residential centres both in the UK and abroad. These courses run for 30 hours of the week, 6 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

The English language course that you undertake will be customised for your English level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you English level. You may have little or no experience of English and only want basic conversational skills or you may be more proficient and desire more fluency with which to discuss business. You may want to raise your English skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills. Whatever your objectives, our English language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised English course will help you to meet your goals quickly.

English Language Examination Courses

SIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for English examinations, whether for business or personal qualification. We believe that our 95% pass rate for language examinations is a reflection of our policy of working with English teachers in Coventry who possess above average experience. Registration for and administration of English examinations, along with the issuing of results certificates are all provided by SIMON & SIMON.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

English is a West Germanic language that arose in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England and spread into what was to become south-east Scotland under the influence of the Anglian medieval kingdom of Northumbria. Following the economic, political, military, scientific, cultural, and colonial influence of Great Britain and the United Kingdom from the 18th century, via the British Empire, and of the United States since the mid-20th century, it has been widely dispersed around the world, become the leading language of international discourse, and has acquired use as lingua franca in many regions. It is widely learned as a second language and used as an official language of the European Union and many Commonwealth countries, as well as in many world organizations. It is the third most natively spoken language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.

Coventry is a city and metropolitan borough in the county of West Midlands in England. Coventry is the 9th largest city in England and the 11th largest in the United Kingdom. It is also the second largest city in the English Midlands, after Birmingham, with a population of 300,848, although both Leicester and Nottingham have larger urban areas. The population of Coventry has risen to 309,800 as of 2008. Coventry is situated 95 miles (153 km) northwest of London and 19 miles (30 km) east of Birmingham, and is further from the coast than any other city in Britain. Although harbouring a population of almost a third of a million inhabitants, Coventry is not amongst the English Core Cities Group due to its proximity to Birmingham. Coventry became an early 'twin city' when it formed a twinning relationship with the Russian city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) during World War II. The relationship developed through ordinary people in Coventry who wanted to show their support for the Soviet Red Army during the Battle of Stalingrad. The city is now twinned with Dresden and with 27 other cities around the world. Coventry Cathedral is one of the newer cathedrals in the world, having been built following the World War II bombing of the ancient cathedral by the Luftwaffe. Coventry motor companies have contributed significantly to the British motor industry, and it has two universities, the city centre-based Coventry University and the University of Warwick on the southern outskirts.
