Description
Business English focuses on business phrases and typical workplace vocabulary in the context of language functions such as: negotiations, telephone conversations, interviews, presentations, meetings, conflict, resolution, etc.
Teaching Business English
The main difference between teaching General English and Business English is contexts. In a Business English course the language is often taught and practised by recreating the same business settings my students may find themselves in. This is why it is important for me as a TEFEL teacher to know what language functions are, how to identify them and how to use them to my student's advantage.
All the main language skills taught in a General English course are included in a Business English course but the slant is obviously on business. So, for example, writting concentrates on using proper salutations, writting orders, memos, proposals, "thank you" letters or complaints or putting together a smart cover note, etc. Listening can include dealing with an angry customer or handling enquiries over the phone, etc. Speaking may be linked to brand presentation or taking part in a meetin etc.
As a TEFEL teacher with a background in the corporate sector I am the ideal candidate to teach Business English as I can combine my knowledge of English language and grammar with up to date and accurate business vocabulary, phrases, expressions and jargon.
Accounting, Banking and Financing, Sales and Marketing, Project Management and Information Technology (IT) are only some of the specialized fields that go under the Business English umbrella.
Teaching Materials
When it comes to materials, one of the most useful resources for teaching Business English is authentic material. This comes in many forms such as poadcasts, specialized magazines, company literature, corporete websites, etc.
