Wprowadzenie

English for Customer Care powstał z myślą o osobach pracujących przy bezpośredniej obsłudze klienta. Specyficzne dla takich sytuacji zwroty i opanowanie stosownych technik komunikacyjnych bardzo przydadzą się w rozmowie z klientem, w dziale sprzedaży, w sklepie, banku, hotelu, podczas rozmowy telefonicznej w Call Center lub przy obsłudze infolinii.

Niniejszy podręcznik z serii Short CourSe przedstawia najważniejsze angielskie określenia i zwroty, a także podaje przykładowe scenariusze rozmów, bardzo przydatne w miejscu pracy.

English for Customer Care składa się z sześciu rozdziałów. W pierwszym rozdziale wprowadzono podstawowe zagadnienia z zakresu obsługi klienta. W kolejnych czterech rozdziałach omówione zostały różne formy kontaktu z klientem: osobista rozmowa, kontakt telefoniczny (z uwzględnieniem sytuacji typowych dla Call center) i kontakt pisemny. W ostatnim rozdziale zaprezentowano słowa i zwroty, które przydadzą się, gdy będziemy musieli przyjąć reklamację.

Każdy z rozdziałów rozpoczyna się tzw. First approach, składającym się z krótkich ćwiczeń, Brainstorming lub kwizu. Po nim następują dialogi (nagrane także na dołączonej płycie kompaktowej), teksty, przykłady autentycznych dokumentów, jak również szereg ćwiczeń uczących angielskich słów i zwrotów poprzez zastosowanie ich w określonym kontekście.

W każdym z rozdziałów znajduje się odsyłacz do Partner files (str. 58), gdzie zamieszczono różnorodne scenariusze rozmów – do przećwiczenia z partnerem/partnerką. Ułatwią one opanowanie słownictwa z danego rozdziału i nauczą stosowania go w konkretnych sytuacjach.

English for Customer Care służy nie tylko do rozwijania sprawności językowych, lecz także do pogłębiania fachowej wiedzy. Każdy z rozdziałów kończy się tekstem Outlook, nawiązującym tematycznie do treści rozdziału i mającym zachęcić do dyskusji. W ramkach Customer focus extra można znaleźć różne wskazówki i zwroty przydatne w kontakcie z klientami.

Świetnym sprawdzianem wiedzy jest Test yourself! – krzyżówka, w której znajduje się przekrój całego słownictwa z tego podręcznika.

English for Customer Care zawiera także Answer key, na podstawie którego można samodzielnie sprawdzić poprawność rozwiązań, oraz A–Z word list, gdzie podano angielską wymowę i polskie odpowiedniki wszystkich trudniejszych wyrazów użytych w podręczniku.

Customer care is becoming more and more focused on IT training. It’s true that nowadays technical skills are essential for working with customer service systems.
