Business Pro (Dialogue) Course Overview & Lesson Plan

In this course, you will improve your spoken English using three different training methods: Gabby Sprint Training, Dialogue Practice, and Phono-Focus pronunciation training.

Each week, they will meet with their personal Coach(es) for two 25-minute live coaching sessions.
If a student has selected two Coaches for their course, they will be added to a shared Slack channel. This channel can be used to decide who will be the “Sprint Coach” and who will be the “Dialogue Practice Coach,” and to share feedback messages and communicate any other important information regarding the student’s progress.

Students will also be assigned daily self-training, mini-tests on the Gabby platform and homework assignments via the Gabby messaging platform*.

*IF THE STUDENT HAS NOT COMPLETED THEIR AI SPEAKING TEST: I also noticed that you still need to complete your speaking test on the Gabby platform. The speaking test will give us important information about what language skills to focus on in our sessions and guide your personalized daily self-training menu. Please complete the speaking test as soon as possible, and we can discuss your results at the start of your next session.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you!
