Today, many countries around the world are connected by a common language: English. Of course, there are variations in the English spoken around the world, such as spelling and pronunciation. But ultimately, two people speaking English can communicate without fear of a language barrier, no matter where they are from. 

The program at ASC English is 8 weeks long and will prepare you to succeed in oral communication and written communication, such as business proposals and presentations. You will develop your English skills in both a professional setting and a social setting to prepare you for your future in the business world. Here’s a closer look at the benefits of taking business English courses!

Business ESL Brings More Job Opportunities

Improving your English skills can expand your job opportunities around the world. International companies can always benefit from hiring people who speak more than one language, especially when that language is English. Becoming proficient in English gives you the opportunity to work outside of your home country and find job positions on a global scale. Learning new languages also shows employers that you are committed to building your knowledge of the world and developing your skills. 

With globalization, people are looking outside of their own countries and cultures, especially for business. Many international companies have offices in different countries and negotiate with other businesses around the world. Understanding business ESL can be extremely valuable when applying for new jobs or growing within your career. 

Business ESL courses can help you get more job opportunities internationally

Making Connections 

In international companies, it is common that the language in the workplace is English. Being able to communicate with your colleagues can give you a positive experience in that work environment. The more comfortable you are with English, the easier it will be to make new connections with co-workers during business meetings and lunch breaks. 

Speaking English can also help with networking. Making connections is an important part of the business world. You want to make a positive first impression on people. Sometimes, you will have to network in a short period of time. In that case, it is important to express yourself in a clear and concise way. The business ESL course at ASC English will cover modules in Effective Introductions and Socializing with Colleagues to help you communicate easily and confidently in these settings.
