But how can you encourage your employees to take advantage of our language training classes?
3 tips to encourage English training for employees:
1. Make it fun
They say children learn more and easier, when they do it through fun games or play. Adult learners want to enjoy themselves too! For companies that have workers enrolled in corporate English training, you could try incorporating trivia or a fun task as a perk for ESL employees All it requires is a little planning!
For example: you could send out a company-wide email on the first Monday of the month. It could contain clues about a specific vocabulary word. The first ESL learner to reply with the correct word could have an extra 5 minutes on their next break. Or they could earn some sort of prize.
2. Find ways to incentivize
Sometimes, if you want people to do what you want you have to provide an incentive. With adult learners in particular, enrolling in a corporate English course is just another responsibility. Incentivizing adult students at work could look like a bonus or "points" added to a career growth plan.
For example: incorporate learning English into your company's career growth plan, which outlines certain paths employees need to take in order to get a promotion. Or it could even be as simple as a monetary bonus.
3. Ensure it remains a positive experience
English training for professionals doesn't look the same for every company, even if they are in the same industry. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to learn, but there are some very simple concepts that make it easier. One of those ways is by ensuring the experience remains as positive as possible.
For example: don't put so much emphasis on your goals. Insofar as making your goals creates stress and pressure for the actual learners. Sure, you have your objectives, and your employees do too. Just try not to create a lot of competition or stress when the main objective is to improve English comprehension with your ESL employees.
