To the student

ASAP EXECUTIVE EXPRESS ENGLISH COURSE was designed for English Students of
any level. It works as a self-study material as perfectly as a guide used in an ordinary
classroom with a teacher. Pay especial attention to the symbol . It indicates that there
is an audio file related to the lesson, which is available in our website. In case of self-
guided students, we recommend you to listen the audio files repeatedly in order to
practice listening and pronunciation. You will have help from our team of teachers in the
case of specific doubts about the lessons via our forums and social media platforms
(WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook).
It’s important to reinforce that the study of any language can not be limited to a
classroom once a week’s range. At ASAP we offer all the tools you may need to improve
your English, also in a proactive way. Use these tools with dedication and, soon, you will
be amazed by what we can do when we work hard, either alone or in a classroom. Let’s
take the best of this opportunity!

Sincerely,

Educational Coordination - ASAP EXECUTIVE EXPRESS

ASAP EXECUTIVE EXPRESS ENGLISH COURSE foi desenvolvido para estudantes com
diferentes níveis de conhecimento em inglês. O Curso funciona como um guia independente
de estudos com a mesma eficiência de quando usado em salas de aula comum com o
professor. Fique atento ao símbolo . Ele indica que a lição depende do acesso à um
áudio, sendo este disponibilizado no nosso website. Se você optou pelo ensino à distância
-EAD-, sugerimos que escute os áudios repetidamente para melhor treinar a pronúncia e a
escuta. Você terá ajuda de nosso time de professores para dúvidas específicas via fórum e
nossas plataformas em redes sociais (WhatsApp, Instagram e Facebook).
É importante reforçar que o estudo de qualquer idioma não pode ser limitado a
encontro semanais. A ASAP oferece todas as ferramentas que você precisará para
aprimorar o seu inglês de maneira pró-ativa. Use essas ferramentas com dedicação e em
breve você ficará surpreso com o progresso que podemos alcançar quando trabalhamos
duro, seja sozinho ou em sala de aula. Vamos tirar o maior proveito possível desta incrível
oportunidade.

Atenciosamente,
