Очень структурированная программа обучения, которая, вероятно, позволить выучить "живой" английский язык, реально востребованный во внешних взаимодействиях.
Понятные механизмы освоения живой разговорной речи - делового английского, используемого на интервью, рабочих звонках, деловой переписке и т.п.
