移民朋友，让英文不再是您永远的痛
一直以帮助新移民完善职业人生而著名于华人社区。2004年，北美经济全面好转，移民亦赶上了就业的好年景，为了帮助朋友们成功就业、快速适应北美的生活，我们提出了“苦练英语”的口号。我们深知语言学习是一个长期积累的过程，但是好的学习方法及正确的指导，将达到事半功半的效果。因此在广大同学的强烈要求下，经过半年多的充分准备和精心组织，新概念语言学院正式成立。新概念语言学院将围绕新概念培训中心“职业发展（Career Development）”这一办学宗旨，提供有别于政府资助和其它社会机构的语言培训服务,帮助大家快速突破英语障碍。
移民朋友，让英文不再是您永远的痛！
企业在进行重大战略决策的时候都要进行SWOT分析，也就是对内部和外部的有利。不利因素进行全面分析，不但对自身的长处要充分利用，更要对自己的弱点着重加强。对个人来说，职业发展规划是关乎自己前途和家庭命运的重大决策，因此一个针对自身的SWOT分析具有同样重要的作用。
对技术移民这样一个特定群体，他们具有以下普遍特长：
· 原居住国良好的教育背景
· 多年的专业工作经验
· 熟练的专业技能
· 极强的学习能力
同时也多具有以下共同弱点：
· 语言
· 沟通
· 文化
总之，技术移民在北美新环境中最大的障碍是交流。
交流分为不同的层次。最基本的是语言，文字，肢体，表情等的交流，在此之上是情感，思想的交流，再往上是文化，观念，理念的交流。社会生活中，职位越高，对交流能力的要求越高。在中国现行教育环境和应试制度下培养出来的中国技术移民来到北美后，大多数人的交流水平处于“读写相当于中学生，听说不如小学生”的程度，以至于惧怕接听电话，难以逾越招聘中的第一关-HR面试，信心受到打击，在经济压力在，不得不从事语言要求尽可能低的简单重复性工作。即使那些凭较强语言能力和过硬技术找到本专业对口工作的新移民，其发展仍然受到更高层次交流要求的限制。这既是国家资源的浪费，更是个人发展的遗憾。
“木桶”理论说的是：一个木桶的最大盛水量取决于它最底的那根木条。按照这个理论，一个人职业生涯的高度取决于他最弱的那一项。对于技术移民来说，最大的弱点就是交流能力。
在北美生活工作，英语语言能力是必不可少的。与此同时，交流的能力，如何有效的与别人沟通，往往也是新移民面临的问题。生活经历的不同， 文化的差异，也常常成为我们与人交流的障碍。对于已有工作的老移民，在工作岗位上的英文沟通和交流包括两方面，一是与上级，二是与同事，如果能够突破技术移民最常见英语“表达”方面障碍，成功的完成两方面的沟通则对于加薪提升都十分重要。初来乍到的新移民，因为不得不用英文来表达自己，难免遭遇满腹经伦、无从表达的尴尬，将尤为感觉到突破新移民最常发生的英语“心理”障碍的紧迫感。
总而言之，良好的英文交流和书写技巧对任何力求在北美社会发展的人都至关重要，它是在北美找工作和换工作的必备钥匙，更是获得工作认可，进而升职加薪的必经之路。那么如何取得最佳学习效果？众所周知，语言学习是一个长期积累的过程，除了要有好的老师之外，学生的主观能动十分重要。亲爱的移民朋友，让英文不在是您永远的痛，请将自己在面试，工作，生活中遇到的问题及时记录下来，将自己写的resume, cover letter，thanks letter等拿出来，欢迎参加“新概念语言学院”正式成立的免费贺礼：10月9日（本周六）2:00pm，10月17日（周日）2:00pm将举行大型免费讲座“技术移民如何攻克英语写作、听力、口语、发音”，西人专家联合爱心奉献，为技术移民度身定做的系列而强化的英文讲座，不容错过！
多伦多权威职业培训中心新概念特邀具有多年英语教学经验的老师开设“ 新概念语言学院”。提供的英语培训课程和普通的LINC及ESL课程不同，完全是针对移民就业最迫切需要解决的交流能力，设计了最实用、最有效的英语培训内容及进程。其特点是：
1、精心设计的课程。针对新移民职业环境下的交流弱点，“新概念语言学院”首次推出Oral Communication for Professionals，Listening和Writing等3门课程。这3门课程全部以加拿大职业英语为核心，分别重点提高交流中的一个方面，同时互为补充。例如，正确的发音会提高听力，写做也会提高口语交流。在这3门课程的基础上，语言学院还将陆续推出发音，英语精听，商务英语以及法语等课程。
2、仔细挑选的老师。“新概念语言学院”重金聘用的老师是从数百名候选人中经过反复比较，筛选出来的。他们全部拥有本科以上学位，经过专门教育培训，通过ESL职业认证，并有多年教学经验。更宝贵的是，他们大都拥有本地公司工作经验和职业背景，而不单纯是职业老师。这是一般英语培训机构所没有的。
3、立竿见影的效果。我们开设的语言课程将秉承新概念的一贯风格，内容紧紧围绕“career development”。每上完一门课程，学生都将获得求职，面试，工作场合交流等方面直接的提高。
4、课好而特价，时间灵活，最为实用。“新概念语言学院”面向的对象将完全集中在需要在想在北美找工、换工的移民和留学生，所以实用、针对工作和生活将是整个英文培训的最大特点，所以，将从移民最急需的口语、听力、写作入手，是一个系统、正规、强化的训练，而且在价格方面非常优惠，口语、听力、写作每一部分的课时均为30小时，只有$280，上课时间更是根据大家需要，有Full-Time的白天班和Part-Time的晚上班两种时间可供大家选择！

写作课程描述（Course Introduction）：
During a thirty hour course on writing, students will learn how to improve their writing skills. They will develop strategies for ongoing improvements in vocabulary and other essential elements of the writing process. Being able to write well will eventually improve the students’ chances at promotions, and provide better job satisfaction. The aim of the class is to improve what the students write, so that they are able to make the right impression on the reader. In order to do so, the students will learn the following: strategies for improving vocabulary, strategies for improving the mechanics of writing, and tips on how to allow for ongoing self-improvement.
In addition to general strategies, we will learn how to succeed at business writing. Examples of business writing that will be covered by the course will include: resumes, cover letters, memos, proposals, reports, letters and emails. These are subjects that every individual needs both at home and at work.
The emphasis of the course will be on the essay as a powerful tool. We will learn how it can help us get our message across or stop us from achieving success. The lessons will be both general and personal. However, the aim of the course will be to find both general ways of improving each student’s writing, as well as, specific solutions for each student.
Students who take this course will learn English through the themes of Marketing and Management. They will be listening to musical lyrics, radio commercials and discussing business ideas. Students will be assigned various TV business shows to watch and report on to the class. What we will stress here is comprehension and reporting. . Students will learn how to pick out main points of the topic being lectured about and why little diagrams are important to keep facts clear for quick review.
Business magazines such as Marketing Magazine, Canadian Jeweller Magazine and Style Magazine will be introduced to Students. Articles ranging from editorials, business and sports will also be studied. Because it is important to have a proper grasp of English grammar in the business world, part of each lesson will be spent on grammatical concepts such as sentence structure, clauses and adjectives. Students will take part in debates, letter drills, and games to help remember grammar. At the beginning of the course a needs analysis will determine what level of English the class should concentrate on and how to improve.
Students will learn how to write a proper resume for potential employers. They will fashion resumes to answer specific classified ads in the Toronto Star, the Globe & Mail and Marketing Magazine. Students will complete short essays and homework. Each student will make an 8-10 minute presentation with props. Other students will listen and mark. Students will learn how to express arguments and sales pitches with key points.
Through listening, comprehending and writing students will remember what they have heard. If several students are interested in a particular idea or vocabulary to be worked on during the course of study, the teacher will cooperate. Bottom Line – Students will learn because the subjects are relevant to their personal goals.
