Communication Workshop is an optional add-on to your General English course, and it's one you'll want to choose. It gives you the language and skills to handle real, everyday situations in English with confidence. Alongside communication, you'll build the study strategies that keep you progressing long after your time with English Path. This course provides students with the language and skills they need to navigate everyday real-world situations in English. Students will develop their social communication skills as well as navigating more formal interactions. Intercultural communication remains at the core so students are able to interact with speakers with varied backgrounds.

This course is organised around practical weekly themes. Each week is modular and Friday lessons provide an opportunity for students to showcase their learning across each week as a whole. As well as communication, students develop essential study strategies to be successful in their future English progress beyond their time with English Path.

Example lessons: Socialising & making connections / Making plans / Navigating problems / Making appointments / Discussing interests / Talking about hobbies / Designing travel plans

What Communication Skills unlocks

Students will gain the practical language and skills to navigate real-world situations with ease and collaborate effectively.

Through iterative feedback and self-reflective study strategies, learners develop future-ready critical thinking, communication, and self-directed learning skills that drive continuous personal growth, unlocking achievement of their individual learning goals.
