Course focus
Understanding English is now a key requisite for working in the fashion world, where every segment uses its own specialist terminology.
The course is therefore aimed at those who already have a solid grounding in English but want to become proficient in business English and the technical language associated with different products, whether clothes, bags or metal accessories.
Course aim
The aim is to enable participants with B1 level English to broaden their specific technical fashionvocabulary and use it more appropriately both in writing and orally. The course will focus particularly on terminology related to clothing and accessories.
Course structure
The modules begin by looking at the general professional language used in the fashion sector before zeroing-in on specific technical terminology.
- Professional introductions: role play, simulation.
- Processes: discussing processes using passive grammar.

- Metals: types of metals used for accessories.
