English skills are becoming increasingly essential for overcoming communication barriers and enabling access to knowledge and expertise from around the world. This Specialization will help you build the English communication skills you need to work successfully in an international, multicultural workplace.

Each course is made up of short, engaging task-based lessons that can be done anywhere, anytime. Lessons include content from the real world, so you will learn from real conversations, emails, phone calls, and messages that you may encounter at work or in your personal life.

Learning activities in these courses will take place on Voxy, an innovative English training platform designed for upskilling and real world success. Our task-based, authentic methodology provides a two-for-one opportunity for personal growth: you develop the skills and practical knowledge necessary for your daily activities while improving your English language proficiency at the same time. You’ll achieve your goals faster on Voxy’s innovative platform, which automatically adapts to your current level and your performance across reading, listening, speaking, grammar, and vocabulary skills to ensure that every lesson is optimized for rapid improvement.

Applied Learning Project

At the end of each course, you will have the opportunity to practice what you've learned with a writing task and a speaking task. First, you will read or listen to a real-world resource that will support you in helpful skills or language for successfully completing the task. Then, you will receive a prompt and attempt the task – for the written task, you will be writing something, and for the speaking task, you will record yourself speaking. Afterwards, you will be guided in reviewing and evaluating your own performance to see what went well and areas where you can improve. Finally, once you've completed both tasks, you'll have a chance to reflect on what you learned in the course. These two tasks together are estimated to take about six hours.
