Which language level is required in order to be successfully applied in business?
The European Reference Framework uses six different language levels in language training: Levels A1- A2 indicate basic knowledge including basic vocabulary, B1- B2 are the first professionally qualifying language levels, and the successfully completed levels C1-C2 certify the participants demonstrates native level abilities. In business, generic language skills are not enough: the demands on employees as well as wanted and expected skills vary greatly depending on the industry, position, project or typical company process design. Service providers who ignore these essential factors in language training do not train in a meaningful way and therefore waste important potential. KERN AG Training, however, recognises that competent, individual further training must include job-related language skills and industry-specific content for tailor-made learning progress. The target language level is just as individually tailored as the content we provide.
What can we expect from KERN AG Training?
First of all, every further training method begins with a needs assessment of the employees or the management staff. In addition to the training methods themselves, innovative approaches such as shadowing can be used to familiarise you with existing work processes in order to perfect the collaboration of training and practice. In designing the training methods, much attention is paid to industry and company-specific wording, typical sentence and thought structure, and if available, the corporate language is integrated into the training measures. The training includes multimedia as well as multi-methodical elements and utilises current examples from the professional life of the trainees in order to ensure a maximum transference of the language skills into practice. The pedagogical experts of KERN AG Training will provide not only didactic material but also, if necessary, develop new teaching materials as well as online exercises to optimally tailor the training to the needs of the participants. So that’s how our customer-specific, practice-oriented design of the material and the didactically sophisticated teaching method together with the use of current media form the ideal basis for successful, tailor-made language training.
