Aim of the course

The Business English Online course is designed for teachers who would like to widen their skill set in this area. Teachers with limited previous Business English teaching experience will benefit greatly from taking this course but the course also seeks to inspire experienced Business English teachers with new and creative ideas for the in-company classroom. Our updated online course focuses especially on using authentic materials, the latest technologies and activities from the world of coaching.

The course content is practical and will include ideas and material you can take and use in your classes straight away. Teaching English to company employees can require different approaches and skills to teaching General English, groups are often much smaller and usually have specific requirements relating to the contexts they will need to use English in. Many people think teaching Business English requires a specialist knowledge or experience in business. While this may be an advantage, it is by no means a prerequisite. What a Business English teacher does need to know is what makes a person a successful communicator in English.

The Business English Online course will help you improve your knowledge of communication skills and show you how you can help learners be more effective in their use of English. You will learn to make the most of your classes and ensure you are meeting the needs of your students, whatever their situation. By the end of the course you will have a greater understanding of how to approach teaching in companies.

This course is suitable for recently graduated teachers with limited teaching experience, as well as for more experienced Business English teachers who would like to update their knowledge and get inspired by new teaching ideas.
