Workplace ESL (English as a Second Language) with us at Language Connections isn't the typical, online English training experience. Most importantly, because our remote classes feature LIVE instruction from real teachers. Utilizing video chat technology, your ESL employees receive feedback in the moment like a traditional classroom experience from the comfort of their own homes. Most other companies just offer the same, pre-recorded lectures to every company because it's cheaper.

Our true advantage is evident in our process ability to create unique business English training experiences. Because we actually take the time to understand what your objectives are, from your leadership team, so that we understand your motivation. Then we conduct employee language assessments to determine their ability and level. Then we create a customized ESL curriculum that is tailored to center your employees while focusing on your business objectives. English for businesses creates opportunities for employees and your company. Here's a few ways it can do both:

4 Ways that workplace ESL creates professional opportunities for employees

1. Improved job performance

By improving English language proficiency, ESL employees (who speak English as a Second Language) are able to understand instructions more clearly, participate in team discussions and communicate more effectively with colleagues and clients. By successfully completing our language training program, work performance increases, the culture at work gets better between colleagues, and client relations improve.

2. Increased job opportunities

3. Promotion readiness

Our professional skills programs put ESL speaking employees on the same level as native English speaking employees. Many higher roles depend on effective communication, especially leadership or managerial positions. We can incorporate professional skills development into your curriculum, by highlighting public speaking, or professional negotiation, or business writing to name a few examples. Corporate English training can highlight anything you need!

4. Becoming industry players

When you improve communication with your employees, they are able to create connections with confidence. Becoming an industry player could look like a newfound confidence to network at work events. Or it could be as simple as equipping your team with fundamental industry specific language such as terminology they probably wouldn't have learned anywhere else. Industry language training for construction could include OSHA safety trainings, whereas hotel staff could focus on widening customer service phrases. Providing an opportunity for ESL associates to gain industry knowledge puts them on an equal playing field with native English speakers. Which only widens your company talent pool and provides an equal opportunity for all employees.

The bottom line with workplace ESL

Investing in workplace ESL is a net-positive strategic move that benefits everyone, no matter where they fall on the corporate ladder. Many small to medium sized businesses can take advantage of the Workforce Training Fund, which provides financial support for training current and newly hired employees. We can help your business apply for this publicly available funding and should you qualify, provide employee language to your ESL associates with that grant funding. Which provides growth opportunities for employees, without spending company revenue. What could be better?! Call us today!
