Is this actually "command of written English"/"command of spoken English" or what? I'm simply not sure how to translate this properly. And I'm sure it appears frequently on Education certificates. Many thanks for your replies!

practical English usage course
Explicación:
Another guess, but my impression is that the course is to gain an 'active command' of English, for use in real-life situations, as opposed to more theoretical matters like grammar. Basically you learn language that equips you for practical purposes like work, learning other subjects etc.

Course in Practical English


Explicación:
Keep it simple: qualifiers like "usage" and "language" are redundant ("practical" implies knowledge for the purpose of utilzation). There are hundreds of references for this term on Yahoo. I've provided just one example.

Suerte.
