Oxons College Enhancing Careers

Professional/Occupational English

The birthplace of the English language, Britain has the greatest contribution to English Language Teaching (ELT) in the world. Besides its historical role in spreading English globally during the British Empire, Britain has pioneered institutes for English teaching to foreigners and has introduced methodologies and teacher training programmes, among others. Britain, especially London, is (or, one of) the most central place attracting learners worldwide to learn English. In recent years, a significant number of people migrated to the UK, and many of them are facing difficulties to work for their lack of competence in English.
As opposed to English for General Purpose (EGP), we have developed over twenty (and counting) courses of English for Special Purpose(ESP).
The first vacation classes on modern languages were offered in Europe in 1897 in Marburg. Later, Ripperman led a vacation English course for international students at the University of London in 1903.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP!
Oxons College is set to prepare people with English language skills for people of different walks, occupations and professions.
We have thoroughly researched the scholarly works in the field: teaching-learning methodologies, the learner’s native language and its impact in learning English, especially phonetically and phonologically, among others.
Every course has been developed, designed and customised by analysing the needs of individual vocations and/or professions. Individual learners’ needs have been focussed on.
The lessons are not limited to the 4 walls of the classrooms. Every course is coordinated with the relevant setting and expertise. For instance, English for Social Care Occupation learners will have part of their learning experiences in the care home or domiciliary setting. Likewise, in a football club or playground for the learners of English for Sports Personnel. We’ve achieved this thanks to our experience and knowledge of the sector as well as extensive and intensive research of the works by experts in the field.

Professional English Language Courses

We offer English courses for different ages, walks, occupations and professions. The college has developed extensive and intensive resources, curricula and syllabuses, tailor-made course designs to administer in classroom settings. The lessons are not limited to the 4 walls of the classroom. Every course is coordinated with the relevant setting and expertise. For instance, the learners of Health and Social Care will have part of their learning experiences in Health and/or Social Care settings, ie at a care home. Likewise, in a football club or playground for the learners of English for Sports Personnel. We’ve achieved this thanks to our experience and knowledge of the sector, and through working with some of the leading experts in the field. Research works of world-leading scholars in the field of ESP (English for Special Purpose) have been thoroughly studied and have been utilised in connection with the field experience of the subject field.
