Corporate English Course For Non-Native Speakers

Corporate English course? That's right. Let's say you are a business owner, a CEO or a decision maker for some corporation, and you have 3 very talented associates on your team who speak English as a Second Language (ESL). Part of their job is to pitch ideas to clients during regular meetings, report on progress, and collaborate with coworkers internally until the project meets the clients' standards. In order to level the playing field, you want your ESL associates to present their own ideas during meetings, but they have expressed that they don't feel confident enough in their language skills to speak during client meetings. This is just one of countless examples that highlight the need for customized English training.

English Lessons For Adults & Overcoming Common Language Mistakes

English lessons for adults can be a stressful experience for students- especially when they are corporate sponsored. Everyone wants to put their best foot forward at work in order to make a good impression. And when your boss needs you to improve upon English language skills, adults feel the pressure more and are slower learners than children who tend to pick up a new language easier and quicker. A silver lining here, is that all of our corporate language training programs are private classes, and never exceed 15 learners. Providing decision makers with the ability to customize is what sets us apart from similar companies- whether that means incorporating elements of professional skills trainings like combining negotiation skills with employee English lessons, or improving upon presentations and public speaking for ESL employees or even  industry specific English courses- all of our online language training for businesses can be customized to meet all of your business needs. Despite the class size, and the level of attention our expert instructors provide your associates, there is always room for improvement. Making mistakes should be encouraged, and associates shouldn't be afraid to make them during class. Making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn, and besides... everyone makes them at some point. So here's a few common mistakes and how to overcome them:

How To Improve Your ESL Associates’ Business Writing Skills

Hiring ESL associates is a smart move for any business owner or decision maker in your company. Especially if yours is a multinational business, hiring ESL (English as a Second Language) associates are essential and beneficial; as their talents and skill sets may differ from native English speakers. Being able to tap into the resources that ESL associates bring to the table should be enticing to decision makers who work for large companies around the world. Not only does it allow for a larger talent pool to recruit from, but it allows for better customer service as not every customer speaks English fluently. Although the benefits that ESL workers bring to corporations can go on forever, they may need additional support- and that's where we step in. Specializing in fully remote online English training, we are confident that our 100% customizable business English courses can meet all your needs. All of our online language training classes are LIVE, and take place in a real-time video conferencing format that gives your people the personalized attention they need to learn best, without sacrificing convenience.  So whether yours is a white collar or blue collar industry, there will come a time when your ESL associates (associates who speak English as a Second Language) will have to write an email, a client proposal, a report, memo or something of the nature that requires professional Business English writing skills. Here's some things you can do to encourage from your corporate ESL associates to improve their business writing skills:
