Spanish
and Italian for business
The course is designed
for students who are interested in business in spanish or italian for
professional reasons. The program focuses on the spanish/italian
languages of business, aiming at providing students with the basic
vocabulary and professional expressions that are most often used. The
topics are confronted in several ways: with topical readings from
manuals used in business schools, as well as analyses of letters,
office documents and newspaper articles about business. After
identifying the basic technical vocabulary and expressions, the student
is helped to assimilate them through targeted exercises and
discussions. On the request of the student, guided visits can be
organized to businesses in the student’s area of interest.

discussed during the course:
1. Job applications: how
to write a job application, useful expressions

language and structure of the curriculum, kinds of curricula

Since the material is
extremely broad and cannot be covered in a thorough manner in the few
available lessons, students may begin the course by planning with the
instructor a program with a narrower focus on the basis of their needs,
with a concentration on only several topics. In particular, if a
student needs to increase his expertise in a specific area for
professional reasons, we recommend that he inform us before arriving in
order to give the instructor sufficient time to prepare a specific
program with selected texts.
For example, if a
student works in an office of import-export, special attention will be
given to international correspondence, banking documents relative to
business transactions. If instead the student intends to seek work in a
certain country, for example, the course will concentrate on how to
write a job application, curriculum vitae, references, etc.
These kind of courses can be
taken PERSONALLY in Buenos Aires, Rosario
o Cordoba (Argentina) or ON LINE by an
easy software to install.
