Think of English as a big set of tools. Which tools do you need the most? Which ones really matter in your life? To choose the right tools, you first need to define what you want to do in and with English. Defining your tasks will help you focus. It’s the first step towards stronger skills.
What’s your Focus?
Professionals need to
-

- Read deeply in their fields.
- Write reports, articles, and emails.
- Present their work.
- Join or lead calls and meetings.
- Build strong connections with colleagues.
