Learn English online - individually and professionally supervised

English is the language of business today. English is used in everything from computer applications to business meetings and training courses, and English expressions are used everywhere. Without a basic knowledge of English, it is often difficult to get by in everyday professional and private life. That's why it's always worth taking an English course.

However, work, family and other commitments often put a spanner in the works. As it is usually not the will but the time that makes it impossible to attend English courses, numerous language schools offer online English courses in the form of e-learning programs.

Learning English online is an excellent alternative to attending a conventional language course at a language school. Participants can complete the various course lessons online and are therefore completely free to plan their own time and pace. Use the train journey from work to learn your vocabulary or solve grammar exercises. Learn how, when and where you want and achieve linguistic success with ease.


Questions and answers

Einige Schulen bieten spezielle Kurse in Business-Englisch an, die Sie auch online belegen können. Auf diese Weise können Sie genau das Englisch online lernen, was Sie für Ihren Berufsalltag benötigen, branchenspezifisch und berufsspezifisch, und das ganz einfach von zu Hause aus oder einem beliebigen anderen Ort der Welt. Solche Onlinekurse werden als herkömmliche Zertifikatskurse angeboten oder bereiten Sie, bei Interesse, auch auf eine international anerkannte Diplomprüfung vor. Dies kann der Test zum BEC Business Certificate Priliminary, Business Certificate Vantage oder Business Certificate Higher sein. Je nach Ihren bisherigen Englisch-Kenntnissen wählen Sie dabei Ihre Niveaustufe aus. Die Sprachschulen, an denen Sie Business Englisch online lernen möchten, berät Sie dabei gerne über die für Sie geeignete Leistungsstufe.

Each school determines the duration of its English courses itself, so there is no one-size-fits-all answer. At many language schools, you can book language packages ranging from a few refresher lessons to preparation for special English language exams with around 50 lessons. These lessons can be taken at any time, depending on how quickly and intensively you want to learn English online. We recommend 4 to 6 months for online courses with around 50 lessons for people who are not in too much of a hurry. With other schools, you book courses for predetermined dates, for example every Tuesday from 6.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. over a period of perhaps 16 weeks. With this option, you are a little more tied down, but you can usually catch up on missed lessons.
It is worth comparing the offers of the language schools to find the best and most suitable offer for you.

Wer Englisch online lernen möchte, der hat meist mehrere Möglichkeiten, dies zu tun. So stehen Ihnen je nach Schule unterschiedliche Modelle zur Verfügung, die Sie je nach Ihren Bedürfnissen schulen. Häufig können Sie Englisch mit einem Lehrer via Webcam lernen, so dass Sie Einzelunterricht mit dem Komfort, flexibel da zu lernen, wo Sie möchten, vereinen können. Dabei wird hauptsächlich auf die mündliche Kommunikation Wert gelegt und Sie dazu angehalten, möglichst viel und frei zu reden.

Darüber hinaus gibt es kombinierte Kurse, in denen Sie individuell zusammengestellte Unterrichtsmaterialien erhalten und diese zu Hause durcharbeiten. Dabei stehen Ihnen verschiedene Tools zur Verfügung, die Ihnen bei Ihrem Lernen helfen, etwa Vokabel-Optimierer, Übersetzer oder Wörterbücher. Dazu haben Sie Konversationskurse, bei denen Sie mit einem Lehrer live am Bildschirm Ihre Aussprache üben und Fragen beantworten lassen können. Anstelle des E-Learnings per Webcam gibt es zudem die Möglichkeit, dass Sie Telefonunterricht nehmen und auf diese Weise Ihre Sprachgewandtheit verfeinern. Weitere Modelle zum Englisch online lernen finden Sie direkt bei den entsprechenden Sprachschulen und Kursanbietern.

Es besteht bei einigen Anbietern auch die Möglichkeit, dass Sie Englisch online lernen und sich dabei auf bevorstehende international anerkannte Prüfungen vorbereiten. Anders als in vielen anderen Sprachkursen bieten Onlinekurse den Vorteil, dass der Fokus der Lehrperson sich ausschliesslich auf Sie konzentriert und Sie auf diese Weise während der gesamten Lektion gefordert sind, intensiv zu lernen. Dies führt zu einem höheren Lernerfolg, so dass Sie in wesentlich kürzerer Zeit die Vorbereitungen für eine Diplomprüfung absolvieren können, als dies in einem herkömmlichen Sprachkurs innerhalb einer Sprachschule der Fall ist. Inhaltlich unterscheiden sich die beiden Kursarten wenig, Sie können all das Englisch online lernen, das Sie auch in einem normalen Sprachkurs lernen würden, manchmal sogar noch mehr, und bereiten sich auf diese Weise optimal auf die Cambridge Zertifikate, etwa den Preliminary English Test (PET), das First Certificate in English (FCE), das Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAE), das Certificate of Proficiency English (CPE) oder andere Prüfungen vor. Auch die Vorbereitung auf TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS oder BULATS Tests ist bei einigen Sprachschulen möglich.
Sollten Sie Englisch online lernen wollen, bereiten Onlinesprachschulen Sie gerne auf Diplomprüfungen vor. Bei Sprachdiplomen auf höherem Niveau ist ein bestandenes Diplom der vorangegangenen Niveaustufe obligatorisch. Dies sind die verbreitetesten Englischen Sprachdiplome (nicht aber die einzigen) auf Niveau C1/C2:
  • C1: Cambridge English Advanced (CAE)
  • C1: Cambridge English Business Higher (BEC H)
  • C1: TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) C1
  • C1: TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) C1
  • C1: IELTS (International English Language Testing System) C1
  • C1: ILEC (International Legal English Certificate) C1
  • C1: ICFE (International Certificate in Financial English) C1
  • C1: BULATS (Business Language Testing Service) C1
  • C2: Cambridge English Proficiency (CPE)
  • C2: IELTS (International English Language Testing System) C2
  • C2: BULATS (Business Language Testing Service) C2
