Talk English Here
Do you want to make your business or service more accessible to people who are learning English? Do your staff need help communicating with people who don't speak English well?
We can train your staff to be ‘sympathetic listeners’, enabling more people with low levels of English to try out their English in real-life situations and access services.
What does the training involve?
We have a selection of activities that we can tailor to the needs and roles of your staff. In many sessions, trainees learn some basic phrases in an unknown language to experience first hand what it’s like to learn a language, before using this language in a practical situation. For an idea of the session, take a look at this video:
