English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Do you feel confident when you express your ideas and knowledge that others understand you? Are you unsure about the pronunciation of words you would prefer to use?

Our workplaces, schools and universities are rapidly becoming culturally diverse as globalisation opens up huge opportunities. Whilst there are enormous positives in the sharing of skills, expertise and knowledge, it has brought about a few challenges in the key element, central to all successful interactions- communication.

Speaking English as your second language can be a challenging experience.  Articulating your ideas clearly has enormous benefits. Training will assist you:

  • Improve pronunciation in spoken English
  • Develop clear and accurate diction
  • Develop accurate word stress and intonation
  • Soften your accent
  • Present and succeed at school, university, in the workplace and at job interviews
  • Prepare for your IELTS Test (International English Language Testing System)

Participants are trained either on an individual basis or in small groups.

OUTCOMES :

  • Gain self-confidence so you have the ability to communicate and interact with others in English
  • Improve spoken English and clarity of speech
  • Be equipped to handle social and business situations
  • Increase career opportunities
  • Make presentations that impress

I came to Australia several years ago without a word of English. Imagine the difficulties of being a mute in a new society. I was lonely at school and found it a struggle to communicate with my peers and teachers. However, my kind neighbour introduced me to Barbara for public speaking coaching and my world changed. Through training and practice with Barbara, I’ve gained confidence and determination to be successful in life and at work. I am able to communicate with my colleagues and friends on a professional and social level. I am currently a Lending Manager at one of the four leading banks in Australia.
