English for Engineers: Specifications, Audits & Projects
Six scenarios, specialist terms, James in his own words – in 94 seconds.
Transcript
We need to talk about magical thinking because magical thinking is actually going to stop you from learning. English for Engineers. Presentations, specifications and audits.
Live training with native-speaking trainers. Online since 2004. Hi, my name is James Simmonds and I'm an English teacher based in Germany with over 20 years of experience.
Technical presentations. International project meetings. Discussing specifications.
Quality audits. Supplier negotiations and trade fair conversations. Six scenarios from your working day.
Assembly line, tolerance, quality assurance, requirements specification and traceability. Specialist vocabulary for manufacturing, specifications and quality audits. Wherever you need us.
Individual assessment. Groups at similar levels and a customized curriculum for your team. But osmosis or soaking in a warm bath of English dialogue with the subtitles on isn't going to help you present the latest figures to your multinational team on Monday morning.
So to start with, we need to differentiate between passive understanding and active learning. Native speaking trainers with industry knowledge from level A to from 90 euros for 90 minutes. Remember, the brain is not a sponge.
It's a muscle and it needs exercising. Start with your free needs analysis at Simmonds.
