Professional Business English Courses at the Tax Authorities

We recently completed a unique and successful project with the Israel Tax Authority (ITA), teaching business English skills which focused on tax jargon, business communication skills such as managing meetings and delivering presentations as well as reading and discussing related academic articles. The participants, all managers and key professional personnel at the ITA, were divided to three groups according to their English level. The groups were composed of up to ten participants in order to allow each learner to practice and present professional issues as well as academic articles. The lessons were conducted in a friendly yet challenging atmosphere with various types of activities and simulations. The professionals in the program were not only greatly motivated to improve their confidence and fluency in both speaking and writing but they were also curious, interested and eager to partake in the many speaking and writing activities throughout the course. This positive attitude, shared but all the learners, was conducive for reaching the project’s goals, including improving the participants’ overall professional spoken and written language, increasing the effectiveness of their communication in the global arena as well as enhancing their ability to understand, describe and discuss professional and academic issues. In addition to its effectiveness, this program was a unique opportunity for us to meet and teach a group of friendly, cheerful and hard-working ITA representatives.

Coaching Participants from the Mandel Leadership Program

Working with the Mandel Leadership program students has been especially rewarding and interesting for our language coaches. The Mandel Leadership program learners are accomplished professionals in diverse educational arenas across Israel, and enriching and improving their business English skills is one more step on their ladder towards reaching both their individual and career goals. These leaders in the Israeli education system have been learning professional English over the last six months with our language coaches using the Zoom platform. The focus of their courses is to enhance the learners’ communications skills, be it through email writing or face-to-face and remote meetings, with philanthropists, foundations, and Jewish community leaders from around the world. Our teachers’ focus with them is on enriching their professional vocabulary, presenting presentations more effectively, using functional language in meetings, and any other business English related skills that make their interaction with their global interfaces more effective and successful.

Interview preparation is an effective and flourishing program that our clients choose when faced with an interview for either a local position with a regional English speaking manager or for a global position that requires strong English abilities. Our human resources oriented language coaches work with our clients in gaining the confidence needed to ace their interviews. Our ad-hoc interview preparation lessons focus on answering behavioral interview questions, presenting CV content and work experience, employing intercultural communication skills and political correctness in the interview, presenting professional strengths and weaknesses, using body language to their advantage, and of course, fine-tuning our client’s grammar. One or two sessions always does the trick.

JDC Special Programs

TriEnglish continues to have both the pleasure and privilege of preparing JDC contingencies for their trips abroad.

As part of the course, each participant facilitates a round-table discussion about an article pertinent to their field of expertise which allows the group to practice their discussion skills in English, improve their professional vocabulary, correct grammar mistakes that stand out, and at the same time, follow the global code of professional conduct, otherwise known as intercultural behavior and communication.

Group Courses at Intel Jerusalem

Since understanding intercultural communication goes hand in hand with working for a global company like Intel, these skills are improved by replicating daily conversations and rewriting actual emails the students bring to their lessons with our language coach.

Language Coaching to Graduates of Mandel Institute

As educational and social leaders, many of Mandel graduates work with international organizations and are often required to present their vision and their work in English. Striving to increase their sense of confidence, the first English course was recently opened. The main goal is to enable the graduates to acquire tools to improve their language skills in a variety of disciplines required in their work life, such as presenting a vision, building international and intercultural partnerships, and conducting a fruitful dialogue with donors and partners. An emphasis is put on active participation and peer learning. Thus, in the beginning of each lesson, one participant presents her/his vision, which forms the basis for discussion and learning. In addition, the lessons incorporate exercises and simulations designed to yield practical experience.
