About this online course

Basic information

In the continuing education course "English for Beginners", you learn basic knowledge of the English language that is essential for effective communication. The course covers various linguistic elements and communication skills designed to enable you to communicate confidently in English in everyday situations.

A main component of the course is grammar. You learn, among other things, the use of verbs, including full verbs and auxiliary verbs, as well as various tenses. Modal verbs and special verbs are also covered to enable correct speaking in both active and passive voice. Prepositions for time, place, and direction are also taught. Knowledge of the correct use of nouns, including their capitalization and the distinction between countable and uncountable nouns, is another focus.

The course also includes the use of various pronouns and articles, with both definite and indefinite articles as well as demonstrative pronouns playing a role. Additionally, adjectives and adverbs are covered, including their comparative forms and use in comparisons. Conjunctions and sentence structure are taught to solidify language structure, enabling the formulation of affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences as well as more complex sentence constructions such as relative clauses.

Another important aspect of the course is communication. You learn to master basic everyday interactions, e.g. greeting someone, introducing yourself, asking for directions, or ordering in a restaurant. Conversation topics such as likes and dislikes, holiday plans, or the weather are discussed, as well as appropriate responses in the office and on the phone.

The benefits of this continuing education course are manifold. It opens up professional and personal opportunities by enabling you to communicate confidently and effectively in one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. This is especially useful in a globalized world where English serves as a lingua franca in many international contexts.
