I recently completed the 'English for Academic Purposes' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a very positive experience. The course was well-structured and covered all the key areas of academic English, from grammar and vocabulary to reading and writing. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided detailed feedback on my assignments, which was really helpful in identifying areas for improvement. I also appreciated the opportunities to practice my speaking and listening skills, as this is an area where I need to focus my efforts. The course materials were of high quality and included many relevant examples and exercises that helped to reinforce my learning. One area for improvement could be to include more advanced topics, such as academic publishing or conference presentations, but overall I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others.
