The 7 Segments
Language Works responds to clients' needs in the world market. These
are divided into 7 segments, which represent the 7 learning services
that clients regularly ask for:
sharpening -- surfacing -- sparking -- shaping -- securing --
stimulating -- sharing
Investing in Interaction - sharpening skills
We face a'talent crunch', where effective and productive people
are harder to find. With relevant customised learning, you can develop
the interpersonal, verbal and writing skills so critical to your
organisation's competitive performance. Learning methods are highly
interactive, so - whether you are a public- or private-sector
organisation - you'll be investing in interaction in more ways than
one.
Actors in Business - surfacing ideas
Generating original ideas is essential. Organisations need to stand
out in a crowded global market while improvising with limited
resources. Experiental learning helps bring this focus to your company
performance, with customised design and delivery. Actors in Business
blends creative talent and business knowledge with facilitating and
feedback. Explore new, diverse ways to get ideas into your company -
become Actors in Business.
Connect, Direct - sparking innovation
Business success depends on innovation: new products, ideas or
processes that can deliver success. But how to cope with accelerating
change and acquire new capabilities? In this ideas lab you try, learn
quickly and try again, using fast, inexpensive, flexible methods.
Blending mainstream resources and unusual ideas, Connect, Direct helps

Transforming Teachers and Trainers - shaping futures
Responding to demand for quality, job-related accreditation in
teaching, training and assessment skills, Language Works offers
flexible, intensive programmes based on international standards.
Courses cover identifying learners' needs, planning and delivering
learning, assessment and evaluation. You get individual support,
practical coaching and up-to-the-minute advice. Meanwhile, distinctive
design and delivery ideas - plus practical sessions with immediate
feedback - help equip you with skills for shaping others' futures.
Project Teams that Work - securing value
Value is the foundation of business. Increasingly, organisations are
adopting project management practices to move their global business
forward. Although technical and contextual competences are vital,
excellent project management also requires behavioural competences.
These include innovation, leadership and communication, as well as
working in teams, both actual and virtual. Developing people-based
skills gives project managers broader competence, while enabling
employers to better match managers with projects. Get into Project
Teams that Work.
Brain Snacks - stimulating learning

Brain Snacks provides a short, digestible taste of learning around a
particular theme. Benefits range from sharing information and
resources to networking. Acquiring and applying practical tips,
