English as a Second Language
Monarch Cruise Line and Hospitality Training Center invited Western Influences into their schools to work with their students to further develop their English speaking skills. We deliver innovative training sessions entitled “English Gives You Choices.” The students are challenged to interactive exercises that encourage them to use English words and phrases that are typically outside of their work day vocabulary. Western Influences’ training focuses on building student motivation and confidence, which opens up employment and other opportunities for them.
The training days are inevitably filled with laughter, as the students and staff learn new ways to communicate. Feedback from Monarch Training Center shows that, after the training sessions, students are left with a sense of accomplishment, an increase in confidence and a desire for adventure in their future.
Western Influences is looking to expand its relationship with Monarch Training Center by working with the teaching faculty, as well as the students. This will include getting involved in the recruitment of appropriate staff, their performance appraisal and their ongoing professional development.
