Welcome to English for Interactions in the Workplace! In this course, we will analyze the essential lexical-grammatical structures in the linguistic expression of effective interaction strategies, such as: work context, personal events, events and work habits in the workplace, at an intermediate level. Each module is divided into two lessons. Lesson 1 of each module contains a video of the English used in context, and then a Focus on Grammar and a Focus on Vocabulary. Lesson 2 contains a reading text, and then a Focus on Grammar and a Focus on Vocabulary. At the end of each module, you’ll find a Formative Test, a Module Test, a Glossary, and a Summary. Notice that each Module Test counts as 10% of your final grade. During the final week of the course, be sure to complete the Final Exam, which counts as 60% of your final grade. We’re glad to have you with us! Let’s get started! During this first week, take time to familiarize yourself with the contents of the entire course. You can begin working on Week 2 anytime you like.

To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
