Improving your language skills can be a great way to move into a better job or even get the job you’ve been dreaming of for a long time. But, have you asked yourself this very important question? Exactly what business are you studying for? This is a question many English language learners never really ask! If you are from abroad and are looking to settle in the UK or an English-speaking country, there can often be barriers when starting out and getting a job. If you have a visa sorted, for many the next biggest hurdle is the language barrier.

 

You see the language we use changes depending on the situation. The type of business, the work environment, and many other factors will influence the language used in one business from another. Of course, some languages and communication purpose stays the same, but a lot is different. In terms of the working environment, English is also the most widely used international language of business. Many people find that even though their general grasp of the language may be of an OK standard. If they were to get a job in the foreign (or any other English-speaking country) their knowledge of business English may need improving.

 

So, when you are learning English for business purposes then you need to remember a very important thing. You need to study the general business English that will be common in most business situations, but you also need to focus on the language that is specific to the business world that you will be working on. With ever more competition for jobs in the current climate, it is a good idea to equip oneself with these extra business language abilities. If people really want to be in the business world, then a dedicated Business English course could provide that extra boost.

 

If you can’t use the language of your industry because you don’t really know it, you will have a very hard time getting (or keeping) a job. Such courses are often targeted at professionals who already use a certain level of English in their work but want to advance their corporate language skills in order to advance their careers. Students enroll with the aim of polishing their skills for current or prospective career opportunities. Business English courses often cover specific applications of the language that could enhance workplace skills. Areas looked at include letter and report writing, telephone skills, participating in meetings and preparing for presentations.

 

The legal sector is a highly profitable industry that demands from its paying client’s high levels of fees for the work it provides, but what sets the legal sector apart from all other business sectors is its stalwart commitment to the practice and protocol of traditional English and Englishness. It is a moot point, but can the hierarchy of such English etiquette, custom, and communication which have existed within the legal sector since time immemorial really be acquired by today’s learner following a learning English or Business English training programs?

 

Options can range from general group language courses to one-to-one classes. Intensive Business English courses are sometimes available for those who need to perfect their workplace language skills quickly. Some language schools also offer specialist English courses that are tailored for staff groups from specific business areas – such as the banking and sales sectors. So if you want to get ahead in the world of work, but feel that your language skills may be holding you back, it may be time to consider a Business English course. These programs can prepare you for progression in your career and open up further communication opportunities for everyday life.

 

• Closed Groups:

 

‘Teamwork’ programs are designed for specific companies or sectors and are aimed more towards participants at the intermediate level or above. Language and management programs enable a closed group of students from a single organization, to improve their English skills whilst they discuss a wide range of topics peculiar to their own industry or sector. These programs, supported by expert trainers, also cover communication needs and key issues both in the commercial and industrial sectors.

 

• Interview Skills:

 

A very important requirement, once students have achieved their learning goals is the ability to present in an efficient and desirable manner. Aiming for a promotion or an important job interview with a new company, it is well to be aware that many companies interview in the English language. There are courses available covering all aspects of job interviews from CV applications through to role-play interviews. Pronunciation, grammar and those all too familiar ‘difficult’ questions can be thoroughly researched ensuring the success of students in the job market.
