English SkILLS
The English Skills program’s active approach takes participants away from texts during sessions while focusing on the production of learned material. Designed for intermediate to advanced speakers of English already doing business in English, the curriculum builds strength in the areas of vocabulary, listening comprehension, grammatical structures and speaking. This is done through role-plays, live telephone and practice and video/audio clips. Our goal is to enable confidence at all levels.

Client Comments
“With Lanartco, I found the ideal partner to achieve my language goals. Unlike other language institutes, Lanartco clearly focuses on challenging the students to fluently produce the language– exactly what I was looking for. The teachers were always able to create an interesting and challenging learning environment by using different instruments, such as presentations, role-plays, audio, video and discussions. In summary, I would definitely recommend Lanartco to anybody who has high expectations in improving his/her English, especially with a focus on the spoken language.” Ralph, UBS / Associate Director

“Lanartco is one of the few language providers I have been involved with where the learning is taken beyond words and structure and into expression. Lanartco says the work they do is very personal, and I can attest to that.”
