Workshops for Trainers Working with International Clients: Language Skills

Rarely held Propell ™ workshops have been scheduled for May 10 and 11, 2011, on the Educational Testing Service (ETS) campus in Princeton, NJ. These workshops offer an opportunity for a quick gain of expertise in what may be a new area for some corporate trainers, but which is increasingly valuable in today's global market place--how to build and assess the English language skills specifically needed in business/workplace environments.

These one-day workshops examine the use of the TOEIC Listening & Reading and TOEIC Speaking & Writing tests, the world's leading assessment of real world English skills for business and the workplace, taken by over 6 million individuals each year and used by over 10,000 employers and other institutions. You will gain skills in preparing individuals for these tests, administering them, and improving language learning for real world business environments with new instructional tools and strategies. 

Enrollment will be limited to fifteen trainers, consultants, and English language professionals in order to allow sharing of ideas and interactive work with ETS expert trainers. Attendees return to their centers with an in-depth workshop manual; TOEIC score descriptors for easily assessing skills at different levels; activity books, practice test books, and audio CDs for use with trainees; and certificates of workshop completion as well as new ideas to develop  practical English skills.

May 2011 Workshops on English Language Learning and TOEIC Tests

The Educational Testing Service (ETS) will be sponsoring two free, full-day workshops at its campus in Princeton, NJ, on May 10 and 11, 2011. These Propell ™ workshops focus on preparing individuals for the TOEIC tests and improving language learning with new instructional tools and strategies. 

Propell ™ workshops are rarely held (no additional U.S. events are currently scheduled). The second workshop will also supply details on teaching to prepare for the TOEIC Speaking & Writing test, newly introduced to the United States late last year. TOEIC tests are the world's leading assessment of real world English skills for business and the workplace, taken by over 6 million individuals each year and used by over 10,000 employers and other institutions.

The first workshop will focus primarily on means of improving student listening and reading skills, the second on speaking and writing skills. The information will be of value whether or not your English center offers/teaches to the TOEIC Listening & Reading and TOEIC Speaking & Writing tests; the workshops provide strategies and ideas useful in any language teaching environment.
