“Hallo! Servizi Linguistici” offers companies a focused, effective, and immediate linguistic training program.
Our linguistic training programs are developed according to the specific requirements communicated by the client. We don’t offer standardized courses; instead, we offer personalized programs prepared on a class-by-class basis according to the requirements of the company and the characteristics of the person or people who need to learn a foreign language.
Our objective is to supply the student with an innovative methodology which is extremely personalized and stimulating enough to focus precisely on the specific field of work, and also to guarantee that the student will feel secure enough with the language to do his or her work more efficiently. We offer a complete course, usable on all levels, which varies naturally according to the particular knowledge of the student.
There are two possible programs:
Students at a beginner level up to a pre-intermediate level: we offer courses which can supply the general elements of the language from a grammatical, vocabulary, and communicative point of view. This approach includes material more focused on the specific needs of the company: elements of commercial and economic language are introduced, vocabulary is increased, and this vocabulary is specifically linked to the role of the student in the company. The communicative and presentation capacity is increased with graduated exercises that reproduce real situations in the company environment (for example talking on the phone, writing brief emails, interacting with colleagues).
Students from a pre-intermediate to advanced level: in this case, the course concentrates principally on the study of commercial language and economics, on methodical learning of commercial correspondence, on strategies and methodologies to adopt in interpersonal relations or in the presentation of texts, for example in business meetings. Subjects like the company and its environment, the company and its personnel, the company and its operations, and the company and its partners will be explored.
The program of the courses is extremely flexible, given that it is created after having gathered and analyzed the information supplied by the company, having identified its goals, and having evaluated the linguistic resources of the participants. To be able to exactly identify the imperfections and lacks of the student, in order to avoid obstacles to effective work, a written and oral evaluation test is given.
All of our programs are based on a communicative methodology and guarantee an immediate and effective use of the language; they are based on diverse didactic activities which result in a stimulating and worthwhile course (games, audiovisual material, cue cards, simulations, conversations, use of company material, Internet material, newspapers and magazines relevant to the sector of the company).
All the courses are taught by mother tongue teachers with a degree and with teaching experience. The best teacher for each course is chosen: in addition to basing this choice on the teacher’s work experience, personal characteristics of the teacher are also taken into account.
The student can count on the constant support of the teacher and of our company in resolving linguistic problems.
Halfway through the course, a Progress Report is written and sent to the company which contains information on the progress of the course.
At the end of the course, the Final Report is given to the company, which contains the language level reached, the attendance of the student, and the final comment of the teacher.
At the same time, the student is asked to evaluate the course.
