  2. So you know about teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), but do you know about teaching Business English versus teaching General English? After all, THE TEFL Academy Reviews tell us TEFL teachers need to be flexible when it comes to their teaching and you never know when you might be tasked with teaching Business English.  • English is fast becoming the global language of business. More and more international companies are mandating English as their corporate language – like Nokia, Renault and Samsung – to ensure they can communicate and compete in the international market. In fact, all the way back in 2010, Rakuten – Japan’s largest online marketplace – required their employees to display competence in English within two years, or face demotion or dismissal. 

  3. In fact, research from the University of Chicago found that people make more rational decisions when they consider them in a second language. This is because we think more rationally and less instinctively in another language. In other words, speaking English as a foreign language can be beneficial in a business context not only in terms of communication but in terms of strategy too. • So it perhaps shouldn’t be surprising that Business English teachers are in high demand. Which is where you come in! Have you ever considered teaching Business English?

  4. What is Business English? • Business English falls under English for Specific Purposes. It was designed for professionals who need to communicate in English in the workplace. Business English includes: • writing emails • giving presentations • taking minutes • taking notes • preparing reports • negotiating • making sales. 

  5. According to TEFL Academy Reviews, Business English can be necessary for employees at all levels of a business, from salespeople to managers to call Center agents to CEOs. Students who take Business English lessons might do so in-company during office hours, or privately after-hours. Sometimes, companies sponsor their employees to take a sabbatical specifically to learn English. Often teaching Business English lessons will involve one-to-one lessons.

  6. What’s the difference between Business English and General English? • Business English includes very specialized language related to the particular field of business, and a more formal style than General English. Business English is used in meetings, on the phone, in emails, and at networking events.  • On the other hand, General English is the English we use in our daily lives. It is the English we need to communicate in everyday situations, whether that is ordering a pizza, asking for directions or making small talk. • Business English and General English differ in vocabulary, but also in nuance, tone and expressions. Business English vocabulary in the classroom can be more advanced than General English vocabulary.
