English language moocs?

I recently took a mooc (massive open online course) on Academic Freedom developed through the Scholars at Risk network by the University of Oslo. Although I warmly recommend that one and think that I will be able to use some of this new competence in our cooperation, I noted that the same platform also offers moocs potentially even more useful for our cooperation: English online courses.


Maybe this British Council English for the Workplace course could be of use for some of you (click on the link)? It is for English learners (you who take the trainings with Swedish partners could maybe be considered being learners in English) but focuses on the workplace. Although it focuses on language used in processes related to finding a job, it could be worth a try?

The English for Academic studies course prepares those of you whom are going for academic studies in using key vocaulary.

I will try to look for more useful and open online courses.
