Business English Programs

Saying the words ‘English Course’ often brings up less than fond memories of verb tenses, formulas, and impatient old English teachers.

However, today the world of English Language Learning, and in particular, Business English Programs, is very different. Effective Business English Programs are now dynamic, fast passed, motivational and highly practical. They are ‘hybrid’ and combine Business English communication training with the development of English as a foreign language. This means you get the both best of both worlds – you can develop your English and at the same time learn or improve valuable business skills which can be applied in all languages. The best part these programs are skill based, so you can choose the areas you want to focus on and develop.

If you are a busy or an up and coming executive, you will probably need a program that incorporates meeting and negotiating skills. If you work in customer service you’ll need to develop great telecommunication, email writing and problem solving skills. If you work in development or marketing, presentation skills and public speaking might be right up your alley. Whatever your business communication needs are, a great training provider can create a program that is effective for you and your company.

Business English programs don’t just come ‘ready-made’, now they can be custom designed to incorporate the standard operating procedures of a company. They can be designed around customer or client ‘touch points’ which are industry and company specific. This makes them relevant, authentic, and gives them immediate transferability. Transferability means participants can walk out of the training room and immediately implement the language and skills gained into their work environment. In today’s business climate where budgets and time lines are critical, these types of programs have real and tangible value.

It is not only the program focus and type that has changed, but also the facilitators as well. ’Old School’ English teachers have now been replaced by ‘Executive Trainers’ who are highly versed in both business practices, the psychology of effective motivation and  learning, as well as developing English  Boring and ineffectual book based learning, has now been replaced by authentic simulations and roleplays, active discussions and debates, and real life research and development tasks. Language learning now has immediate purpose and immediate value.

Companies aren’t stuck with long term Business English Course which are difficult to schedule either. They can choose between full length programs, shorter intensive programs, or dynamic 1 or 2 day workshops. Specific business English skills training can be combined with a company’s existing training programs and experienced and professional trainers now travel across the archipelago to deliver training, conduct workshops, and speak at seminars.
