The work undertaken through the modules examining different elements of an organization increased understanding on the way in which the different elements of a business are interrelated. To examine a firm and assess its position, as well as potential future strategies, it is essential the firm is considered in a comprehensive manner, looking at the different aspects of a business and the way they may fit together, potentially creating more value where there is a good fit.
The modules have provided a solid foundation for strategic analysis of a business. The modules dealing with the internal and external aspects of a SWOT analysis were particularly useful.

The external environment involved assessing the influences on or around the film and the existing conditions which may impact ion a firm. The ability to look at the external analysis opportunity and threats and assess the potential of the different influences by looking at the strengths and weaknesses provides a logical progression to the assessment, for example, building on strengths to take advantage of opportunities and minimize threats.

In such an environment, linguistic knowledge can be acquired directly as tacit knowledge, without formalizing it as grammar rules or vocabulary lists. At the same time, scenario-based learning allows learners to focus on the target context of language usage (in our case -- business English communication), resulting in more student interest and involvement in the learning tasks. (Bin Baharum et al. 2007) There are of course negative aspects to consider
Ironically, the single most important thing a university could do might be to suspend all forms of grading by the traditional test methods. Even without cheating, the focus on grades only encourages studying to perform on test instead of learning for the sake of learning.
