Curriculum
The Business English program at LASC comprises eight courses which collectively focus on giving students a broad understanding of the business world today while guiding their English language development. Each course covers topics related to business as well as language skills. Furthermore, the curriculum focuses on the most commonly used English words, expressions, and grammatical structures in the business topic of the course. The curriculum will integrate online workbooks, score tracking, and phone-based apps to provide the support needed to study English. LASC is also one of the first ESL schools to introduce virtual reality instruction within its curriculum to give students a real-life experience that goes beyond the four walls of our classrooms.

Program Objectives
By the end of this program, students will have learned about business and the use of English in business settings. They will have learned cultural knowledge, language skills, and communication strategies to be successful employees or employers in an English-speaking work environment. Finally, they will broaden their fluency in the English language to communicate in all manner of settings.

Project-Based Courses
Hands-on experience is crucial for practical knowledge. That’s why many of the courses in our Business English program give students opportunities to show what they’ve learned through solo or group-based projects and presentations. For example, the English for the Media course has students team up to research and present real case studies of business’s online marketing and advertising efforts. In English for Job Hunting, students will spend time writing a CV that is custom-tailored to their specific business field of interest. By collaborating with LASC instructors and classmates, students will build on the language and business skills they have practiced by identifying and solving problems that exist in business settings.
