Professional English training is a frequently overlooked component of workforce development... especially when it comes to your ESL workers (those speaking English as a Second Language). The reason being is that many business owners mistakenly assume that corporate language training is optional. Yet simultaneously notice that ESL employees are underperforming, misunderstanding instructions, and are reluctant to participate in discussions or meetings. We are here to tell you that it does not have to be that way. Because...
we are not the average online language training company!
Most online English training companies take a standardized approach with their classes. These classes are fine if you just want to casually learn a new language because they are designed to scale for as many customers as possible with:
- Pre-recorded lessons leave students bored and with no guidance, and zero opportunity to ask clarifying questions or receive feedback
- Generic ESL curriculum that doesn't change and only focuses on everyday conversation
- One-size fits-all pacing regardless of proficiency, speed, level or needs
- Zero accountability for students increases the likelihood of cheating with zero oversight. Plus, employers are left without measurable progress or investment impact
Our professional English training provides the essential workforce development skills for your ESL workers to thrive
Our professional skills development trainings provide structured learning programs for your ESL workforce beyond basic conversational English improvements. Because you want your employees to work and collaborate effectively in a professional working environment. But the reality is that most language training will highlight technical training, rather than practical applications of language. Meaning that someone who speaks English as a Second Language is more likely to memorize grammar rules before reading a customer service email... let alone understanding what the request or issue is. But it's entirely a whole other thing to then gather the required information, and then write an appropriate response in a timely manner.
