Refresher course on Business English

-

People judge you when you use poor grammar in written and spoken words. In a corporate setting, mastery of the English grammar to communicat­e effectivel­y can open new doors and more opportunit­ies for you and your organizati­on. As non-native speakers of English and as one advances in age, there’s tendency to have lapses in grammar. There is no shame in relearning your English!

With the clamor of many of those who want to master their English, the Center for Global Best Practices will feature its best-selling program entitled, Refresher Course on Business English scheduled on Sept. 13-14, at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyon­g City.

This two-day back-to-basics intensive program will help you refresh your memory and re-sharpen your skills to master the world’s language for business. You’ll enjoy with some pinch of nostalgia the verve of verbs, the sizzle of well-constructe­d sentences, an astounding adventure with adjectives and adverbs, nice notices on nouns and pronouns, and entertain yourselves when we reveal those commonly mispronoun­ced words in the English language.
