Smart English for the Modern Office

This course teaches practical English skills for modern office life. You will learn how to write professional emails, confidently participate in meetings and express yourself confidently on the phone. The focus is on typical communication situations in a work context – from self-introduction to presentations. Modern AI tools such as DeepL and LUHKI2 are used specifically to support learning. Critical aspects such as data protection and ethical aspects of use are also addressed.

The following topics will be covered:

  • everyday and office communication in English (emails, meetings, phone calls)
  • building workplace language and grammar skills for specific situations
  • professional writing: reports, memos, appropriate tone
  • presenting, teamwork and constructive feedback
  • AI-supported learning: using LUHKI2/DeepL effectively, critically and in a data protection-conscious manner
