Course Description:

'' This course is designed to assist line-managers who have to "mentor non-English as first language" colleagues. Because engineering organisations now recruit graduate engineers from all over the world, line-managers, Supervising Civil Engineers and Delegated Engineers can find themselves spending a great deal of time re-writing or correcting the written and spoken English of non-native speakers. It is often easy to know when English is inaccurate and poorly expressed, but more difficult to explain why, and show how to correct it.

This one-day training revisits basic grammar and tense usage, and identifies some of the key problems faced by non-native speakers in the workplace, both grammatical and cultural.

Learning Outcomes:
This course will equip delegates to manage non-native speakers more effectively and to provide confident and appropriate language support from a sound grammatical base.

Identify tenses and know how and when each is used
