ENG 110 : Business Communications Skills

The ESL Program provides regularly scheduled courses in English as a second language as well as custom-tailored Business English program for groups of international students and business personnel with topics ranging from resume (CV) writing to job interview techniques. Designed to meet the specific needs of non-native speakers, the courses provide the opportunity to develop the vocabulary and skills required of candidates for business-related undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Special emphasis is given to the development of the cultural awareness necessary for interacting with English speaking natives in the business environments. As a general rule, in teaching ESL, guidance is also obtained from the various English Language public examination bodies and incorporated into IUA curriculum due to our educational operation in the UK.

Effective communication is increasingly important in the information and service-oriented U.S / U.K business environment. Internal and external business communications using verbal and non-verbal techniques are addressed. Major topics are: writing reports, job related communications such as letters and memos and verbal communication.

The application fee is £150 for international students and £100 for local students which is deductible from the full tuition fee once the student commences classes. This fee is mandatory and non-refundable.
