Business and TOEIC Programs

Business English

Advantage E/J’s Business course is designed to develop the functional language ability of business professionals. It uses a learner-centered practical approach to improve students’ communication skills in a variety of business situations. Students practice how to speak with accuracy at both at work and in other social situations. The course focuses on improving listening and speaking skills in a business environment and includes presentation skills, business negotiations, as well as e-mail and telephone correspondence. The textbook for this course focuses mainly on business situations, but supplementary materials will be used to cover other social settings as well. This course is recommended for Intermediate to Advanced level students.

TOEIC Preparation

The TOEIC test (Test of English for International Communication) was developed as a means to evaluate the English language from an objective standpoint. It is used to measure a non-native English speakers’ aptitude in the English language and sets an international standard of measurement for the language which is required to get into universities and to obtain employment.

At Advantage E/J, we use a wide range of materials which allow for more dynamic learning. The course includes use of TOEIC materials and books recommended by our teachers. We also hold practice tests to assess the student’s progression throughout the course. On average, students in our school have improved their marks by a score of 40 to 70 points from the first test.
