New Jersey education trustee to Muslims: Stay in your desserts
Sir Roy Strong, the eminent English historian and former
director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,
has ridiculed the television programme �I'm a celebrity...
Get me out of Here!' in a recent article in �The Daily Mail'.
Sir Roy deplores that "the country of Purcell, Shakespeare,
Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill had sunk so low. It's not
just that so many people watched �I'm a Celebrity' (14 million)
and the vacuous behaviour of its victims, but that they actually
gloated over such puerile antics in their homes."
"…it has advanced evidence which shows, at least prima facie, that it is not a "dodgy" institution. It says that for the 67 CAS issued in reliance on false TOEIC certificates there is no evidence that the students were anything other than genuine. It was not "absolutely obvious" that they could not speak English and were therefore fraudsters. On the contrary there was either evidence of an adequate command of English or, where further examination revealed doubts, the sponsorship of the students was withdrawn. All this was set out in great detail in a letter dated 26 August 2014; but this was effectively ignored by the SSHD when she came to make her decision…what the SSHD characterises as inference is no more than mere suspicion, and that mere suspicion is not a fair or rational basis on which to mete out a draconian sanction which will have such a calamitous economic consequence for an incorporated UK business"
Organizations usually allow employees to study business English during working time. Surprisingly most employees do not like studying on company time because they are too busy working. They prefer to learn English on their own time.
The students engaging in the Seminar also expressed their dreams as well as thoughts about future competition for a job. P.T, a third year student with Finance major from Thang Long University, told about her personal experience applying for two job posts and got no feedback. T.H, a business administration major student, who had a passion for information technology, asked which IT certificate he should get. All the students expressed their interests in the recruitment testing process as it comes to that, at several companies, the initial screening on English and IT can be waived if the candidates possess standardized assessment certificates.
This is precisely the problem. On the one hand we have an elite
who enjoy these cultural pursuits, and on the other the vast
majority who are glued to their televisions watching �I'm a
Celebrity' or soap operas such as �Eastenders'. If you have any questions pertaining to where and the best ways to use LEAP English TOEIC, you could call us at our own web-page. However, as
an historian I am sure Sir Roy is aware of the origin of this
problem in the educational system at the end of the Victorian
period.
The Victorians did not encourage education among the working
masses. They were employed in dreadful conditions in dangerous
factories, on low wages on the farms of big landowners and in
virtual servitude in domestic service. Added to this there was
the constant demand to fill the ranks of the army and navy to
maintain the largest empire in the world. In 1870 an Education
Act was passed allowing all children between 5 and 10 to go to
school. However, as their parents had to pay a small fee, most
children did not attend. Only in 1891 when education was made
free for children under 10 did the majority go to school. Even
then many did not, as their parents were poor and they preferred
to send them to work to earn income for the family.
Online education is necessary that the master teacher is employed who wish to benefit from education or educational institution. Attend master classes can be difficult if your job does not allow you to go to college or university classroom-based campus to attend lectures.

English is the international language of business. English is used to do business across international boundaries. People from different language backgrounds work together in corporate offices and use English as their common means of communication. It is not surprising therefore that there are millions of people who need to learn English for business communication. Companies and organizations around the world spend a great deal of money and time to help their employees learn business English.
Is there a satisfactory ROI (return on investment) for English language training in corporations or organizations?
Could the return on investment for business English be improved? According to information presented at a conference on language training for business called Sprachen und Beruf in Duesseldorf, Germany in 2005;
Most business English training involves English teachers visiting companies once or twice a week or employees attending language schools. E-learning is growing as an alternative for learning business English.
Nichola Carter, Carter Thomas founder, and Judith Farbey QC of Doughty Street Chambers will be exploring this area and others in detail at the ILPA training session ‘Immigration law for universities and other education providers’ due to be held on 27 November 2014.
