We help organisations to communicate effectively with speakers of other languages.
When we communicate with people who speak English as a second language, we need to develop strategies for speaking and writing. These strategies must take into account the language needs of the other person.
Lowering Language Barriers
Tuesday 9 March 2010 - Luther King House, Manchester
One day training on how to communicate effectively with speakers of other languages.
The course will benefit anyone who works with adults or children who speak English as an additional language. The Lowering Language Barriers course will increase participants' effectiveness at work, improve their relationships with speakers of other languages and make your service more accessible to diverse communities.
