Business English in the Global Marketplace
So, you were wondering if offering language courses, especially business English, to your team would be beneficial to the company’s success. Recently, many businesses have been asking this same question. The answer is most often yes. Whether your business is currently working in overseas markets or thinking about it, the importance of communicating effectively in a variety of business settings and situations is a much-needed and desired skill set to have.
In addition to this, the value of English communication domestically is also increasing dramatically. As of 2020, the number of foreigners living, studying, and working in Japan rose to 2,885,904. This means that even if your company doesn’t do business internationally, the necessity of being able to communicate in English is still very present in our daily domestic lives.
There are various styles of English language training that will help your business gain the skills you need to increase your success. By focusing on the specific language you need in your working environment, one can choose the training that will benefit your team the most. Whether it is for general communication, meetings, telephoning, presentations, or negotiation tactics (to name a few), knowing what you need is vital to making the best decision.
