English Language Skills for Business

Course Summary

 

Within the modern world, it is extremely common and increasingly accessible for organisations to expand internationally or engage with other organisations from different countries or regions. However, for many businesses the existence of a language barrier can be a great preventative to expansion. Having individuals involved who are fluent in English or have advanced English language skills can be a vital asset.


 

 

English language skills can encompass many different areas within the business. Being able to communicate in an effective way can increase reputation, as it would enable the business to engage with clients, stakeholders, or other important personnel on a personal level. Building a level of trust can lead to increased loyal and potential financial investments.


 

 

Not only does it improve business standing with outside influences, but it can also increase typical business functions. Developing a stronger comprehension of the English language and a professional voice can improve internal communications, by making all channels of communication more coherent for all those involved. Each communication channel has its own expectations when it comes to the language used, and individuals can greatly benefit from the knowledge of ideal wording, tone and body language.
