The objective of this course is to introduce students to problem solving, critical thinking and professional communication through integrated skills.

Students develop productive skills through group/pair work, presentations, discussions and roleplays.
The communicative functions include practicing moderating skills, form-filling, writing cover letters and resumes, discussing global issues that affect the business world, developing timemanagement skills, creating action plans, decision-making, placing orders, participating in meetings, giving formal presentations, reading and discussing job advertisements, and analyzing different sales situations. To this end, extensive pair and group work, listening comprehension exercises, reading, and writing is carried out.

I contacted few centers but nobody was ready to offer a one month class. Then finally I saw Rosemead College (RC) on the internet. I contacted the admissions office and the student counselor told me about their four week classes.
