Let’s practice Office Administration

Projet 2019 : France – Espagne – Belgique

The idea is to work with the office administration curriculum in a motivating and challenging way and show our students it can be easier to learn vocabulary and expressions by using them. On the one hand, they will use their communication skills to play a role as providers and customers by exchanging business correspondence and organizing business trips and, on the other hand, they will apply for a job by preparing their own CV and interviewing each other.

OBJECTIFS

  1. Develop writing and oral skills.
  2. Improve business skills.
  3. Promote the use of formal language.
  4. Develop ICT skills
  5. Provide a positive and healthy work atmosphere.
