English for the Lottery Business
English for the Lottery Business – Step 2 2011
September 12 – 16, 2011
Seminar by Partners in Training, Ltd.
York, UK
This seminar represents an ideal opportunity not only to boost your practical English language skills, but also to meet international lottery colleagues and have a lot of fun.
Theme: meetings and negotiations language
Can you take part and make a valuable contribution in meetings? Do you feel at ease when you’re negotiating in English?
Is there a difference between ‘gaming’ and ‘gambling’, for example? Does your jackpot ‘roll over’ or ‘roll out’? Have you ever had ‘a bit of a flutter’? Would you know what to do, if someone asked you to ‘splash the cash’?
If you already know some English but would like to increase your confidence and develop your meetings and negotiations skills in English – using terminology specific to the lottery business – then Step 2 is exactly what you need.
You’ll be with experienced trainers from Partners in Training Limited, who have enjoyed working with 400+ participants from 40+ lotteries from all over the world since 1994.
You’ll be interacting in English all day every day, in small teams or in front of the whole group. Very soon you’ll start to think in English and maybe you’ll even start to dream in English, too! In any case, prepare yourself for a different experience!
It’s intensive but the week will fly by – we want you to learn a lot but have fun at the same time. Guest speakers will talk about their specialist areas and you’ll be able to ask questions and discuss interesting issues with them, using the language learned on the course.
In the evening we play interesting (sometimes competitive!) games – all in English, of course. We will also visit beautiful, historic York which has recently been ‘European Tourism City of the Year’.
