What is Business English?

Business English or Executive English has much in common with General English or ESL. It is not a special language but it is simply English in business contexts.

At the same time business English in many ways is also very different, since the goals of a Business English course are quite different from the goals of a General English or ESL course.

In Business English you are immersed in a wide range of business settings in which you practice your communication skills in English. This includes basic English skills for talking to people or using the phone in business, writing reports, making notes or presentations, explaining and describing processes and operations, negotiating or dealing with problems and a host of other business situations. Also a Business English course integrates activities such as reading, listening, writing as well as discussion, problem-solving and role-play such as simulated telephone discussion and others.

At Executive Language Training we make sure your Business English course is always customized and specific to your business related language needs. Sometimes this will mean developing generalized business skills (such as giving presentations), and sometimes it will mean something more technical or academic. The main thing to remember about our Business English training is that relates directly to your occupational or professional English language needs.
