Our exclusive offer to finally overcome the fear of speaking in everyday working life and an investment in your communication skills

Language level: A2 - B1 with a maximum of 8 participants

Nowadays, almost all employees need to speak English on the phone, in chats, at conferences, on Zoom and the like. But what do you do when beliefs and experiences from your school days bring up simple fear?

This seminar is suitable for anyone who learnt English at school but is afraid of speaking. The learning group is coached. This is NOT an ordinary language course! The group coaching approach can also be applied to other languages.

The learning objectives are:

• Build confidence and communication skills in English by overcoming the fear of speaking English in different business situations

• Understand the functions of the brain and use them to learn English

• Experience ways to reduce stress in the event of speech anxiety and use anti-stress tools (e.g. exercise)

• repeat, deepen, expand and consolidate vocabulary and grammar at A2/B1 level

as well as developing and confidently applying communication skills for professional life (greetings, small talk, telephone conversations, video conferences, meetings, social media, buying and selling, negotiations, business lunches, etc.)

Seminar leader: Ginta Schindler, Coach & Lecturer, M.A. English, University of Southampton (specialising in second language teaching for adults), B.A. Media as well as certified yoga teacher and neurolanguage coach (Click here for more details on the technique)
