Worker English training that is specific to your farming business might seem like a dream come true. But we can assure you, it's not. By allowing business owners and decision makers to customize our curriculum however you see fit we provide you with a product that will meet - or ideally- exceed, your expectations. Our English language training programs offer flexible language learning solutions to help your employees succeed and thrive.
By tailoring our courses to your specific industry, our corporate language training is specific and delivers timely solutions to your individual needs. The farming and agriculture industries in particular have a revolving cycle of workers, who tend to work seasonal positions, while attracting migrant workers. With such a robust cycle of employment, hiring managers and farm owners need to have reliable communication. Especially when operating heavy machinery.
Online English classes are specific, in that they teach what you need to be taught. We don't waste time teaching useless phrases and vocabulary that will never get applied in real life. Call us crazy, but we don't think that is the best use of time, effort or money. Instead, we meet with you to determine what your goals are. Then, we evaluate your employees who will actually be learning. It is only then that we create a customized English course specific to your industry and goals that are realistic for your employees. Online ESL courses like ours focus on the vocabulary you want and need to be taught. Here's some examples:
Farm & agricultural worker English training? Here's 3 examples of customized vocabulary
1. Emphasizing safety
Every industry should have safety protocols and every business should have an emergency preparedness procedure. If your farm is hiring ESL employees as farmhands, how confident are you in their understanding? Will they have the vocabulary to talk to paramedics? Do they know the terminology and safe operating procedure for handling all your heavy farm equipment? We can emphasize things like:
- First aid
- CPR: chest compressions, defibrilator etc
- Emergency responsiveness trainings
- Communicating to guests in the event of an emergency and more
2. Tenses & order of operations
With farming it is especially important to understand the order of operations. Which can be challenging for ESL learners of any age. For instance, if I said "Wash the potatoes you picked yesterday" an ESL farmhand with a limited vocabulary might be able to recognize I am asking for potatoes. They could walk away confused why I am asking them to pick more potatoes even though they picked them yesterday. Picking up on tenses, and understanding the order in which things should be done is essential on a farm and we can help your workers with that.
3. Job specific
Online language training courses are people centered, business focused. Meaning we cater the curriculum around your business goals, while meeting your employees where they are at in their journey to learn English. Some of your employees might be further along than others. Some might excel in areas where others need to improve. The great thing about our customized curriculum is that it can be whatever you need it to be. If you have 3 employees with customer facing positions, we can ensure their dictation receives additional focus. Or maybe you have several employees who need to get better at their written English. We can help with all of this!
