Business English Training; Keys To Success
月曜日, 9月 26th, 2011Business English Training; Keys To Success
Of course where the market appears, so do the companies set up to capitalise. Deciding on a language training provider can be daunting, and the unregulated nature of the training industry in most countries can mean huge variation in the quality of the training, and therefore huge variation in the return on investment for the companies’ management. So, what is it that makes some training effective, while other programmes are a waste of time? How can companies minimize the risk of investing in lame-duck language training?
The first piece of advice is to make informed decisions on language training providers based on information from reliable sources. Websites, brochures, marketing emails and fliers can hold a great deal of information, but the most reliable source is a person who has attended or been involved in training elsewhere. One must be careful though, as the ‘famous’ providers – those with strong brand recognition – may be well-known as a result of an over-emphasis on marketing, and not necessarily on quality. ‘Big’ is not always ‘better’ when it comes to training providers; larger establishments usually struggle to find enough good teachers, and compromises are sometimes made. Moreover, while smaller schools tend to be run or heavily influenced by the most important people, the teachers, larger training centres inevitably move towards being driven solely by the bottom line. This is not to say that one should shy away from providers with strong marketing; we’re looking for providers who like to show off their benefits, after all. Be wary of those who aren’t willing to talk about their benefits.
Let’s stop talking about marketing. We are discussing education, and in reality the quality of education comes down to two things; the quality of the teachers and the quality of the courses. Quality of customer service and organisation and coordination by the provider also play a part in your satisfaction, but in terms of return on investment it’s the teachers and the courses that are going to deliver.
Ask about the teachers. Many companies put blind faith in the training provider that they will provide the right people for the job, inevitably causing disappointment when the wonderful teacher promised in the sales pitch to turns out to be useless. Ask to see their resume, ask to meet them. A good training provider will be proud of their teachers and willing to show them off on demand. When you see the resume, bear in mind that experience isn’t everything. While you don’t want a brand new teacher with little experience, many teachers with decades of experience can seem ‘burned out’, as if they have lost the passion for their profession. Look out for teacher training qualifications, and look for their own educational background and work experience. How can someone who never went to university or never worked in a business environment be expected to teach your staff about contemporary business communication? Personality is important, so choose teachers you actually like, choose teachers who your staff will look forward to spending time with, choose teachers who have passion and commitment to their job written all over their face.
Ask about the courses. More to the point, demand courses which are designed to fit your exact needs. Many training providers use generic ‘business English’ courses which are, on the whole, euro-centric, non-specific, and rapidly out of date. The English your sales team needs is very different from the type of language required by your management team, or customer service team. Demand courses designed for your industry; if you’re involved in shipping, make sure that topics are related to shipping, or you could find your staff learning language they will never be able to use. Decide what aspects of your staff’s English to focus on; are they regularly emailing, meeting clients, giving presentations, writing reports or proposals, or using the telephone? Demand that your staff learn the right skills and language. But also gauge the provider’s ability to provide enjoyable programs. Endless photocopied handouts are plain boring. Are the providers going to use communicative, interactive activities? Are the providers going to use modern business technology to teach modern business techniques? What are they going to do to motivate your staff? These are questions to bear in mind when perusing websites and meeting the sales people from the schools. A final tip for effective language training: training is more effective if classes are small, and trainees are divided based on their level of English and specific job responsibilities. Ask the provider how they will assess your staff, and how they plan to organize the trainees into groups. Steer clear of anyone willing to mix abilities and compromise quality by filling classes with dozens of trainees who each have their own learning objectives.
Make sure you clearly define your objectives, and choose the provider who shows you, just as clearly, how they are going to meet your objectives through enjoyable, professional, communicative training delivered by happy, qualified, devoted teachers. In Jakarta, Indonesia, one professional training provider is leading the way in language programmes for businesses. Take a look at kursus bahasa inggris to see how it’s done.

Why Business English is Important
木曜日, 5月 19th, 2011Why Business English is Important
It is important to learn Business English if you are going to be successful in another country where English is the primary language, such as Australia, United Kingdom and the United States fro starters. If you already have a basic understanding of the language by learning to speak it then you are on the right track. It would also be a great idea to practice writing in business English as well. If your local University offers a course in Business English, it would be a good idea to invest in the class. Reading, writing and speaking English is a great way to start a career.
Business English is a bit different than asking where to find the nearest hotel. There are classes you can take to help you along but there are things that you can learn on your own. Here are some key language skills that you must learn to master Business English. Vocabulary and Grammar are a good place to start, you need to understand what words mean and that is very important. This is one of the most common mistakes made in learning English.
Learn how to pronounce the words and then look up what they mean in the dictionary. Try using them in a sentence; ask someone who is more fluent in English to help you, so you know if you are grasping the concept of the language. Once you have an understanding of English, you have to apply it to Business English.
In business you will have to learn such things as taking messages, answering the phones with proper etiquette and communicating with your fellow co-workers. You may have to learn how to set appointments and possible make travel arrangements. Business English is very different than speaking regular English, the structure is the same but you have to learn things like properly expressing yourself in a professional manner or maybe making a presentation in your office.
If you are working in the customer service sector, you really have to bone up on the Business English. Dealing with the public is sometimes more important than asking your boss for a raise. Most businesses offer training sessions and companies that employ foreigners they offer classes on how to perform the job with the proper business English.

Why is learning business English so important?
水曜日, 5月 18th, 2011Why is learning business English so important?
Here is a transcript of a meeting I had with an HR manager at a startup company in Israel. Her intention was to eventually create an internal memo that will be based on the interview:
Why is learning English, and especially learning business English, so important?
The world is becoming smaller—we all experience it.
You buy a GPS device in Thailand that was assembled in China. You purchase extra maps for it online, use it in Italy, and you actually live in Israel.
You outsource your product development for an America customer to an Italian vendor, who’s actually using Indian contractors.
Globalization is everywhere, and the language of globalization is English–business English.
Is English really that prevalent around the world? Why learn English and not Chinese?
Chinese is not a bad choice either, but English is still the dominant language, particularly for doing business. English is still the most widespread language in the world and is more widely spoken and written than any other language. To throw some statistics at you:
Three-quarters of the world’s mail, telexes and cables are in English. More than half of the world’s technical and scientific periodicals are in English English is the medium for 80% of the information stored in the world’s computers English is the language of navigation, aviation and of Christianity Five of the largest broadcasting companies in the world (CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC and CBC) transmit in English, reaching millions and millions of people all over the world
That’s amazing. Not surprising, but amazing. It gives the English language a lot of economic power.
It’s true. In fact, the easiest way to calculate the economic influence of a language may be to add up the gross domestic products (GDP) of all the nations where it is spoken. People who count English as their mother tongue make up less than 10% of the world’s population, but possess over 30% of the world’s economic power. Therefore, in terms of the quantity of transmitted information, English is the leader by far.
Ok, I’m convinced. So what’s the difference between learning ‘regular’ English and learning business English.
Good question. Much of the difference lies in the fact that teaching or training business English is answering a more immediate need. I’ll give you an example: a recent client of mine, a senior executive at a governmental agency in the geophysics field, needed to prepare a presentation in English for a sales meeting in South Africa that was going to take place a week from the day he contacted us. He didn’t really have the time to sit with me for six months and study basic rules of English Grammar and other syntaxes. He had a very specific business need with a very particular deadline.
Would you say then that you operate more like a coach that usually deals with specific ‘obstacles’ in a short time frame as opposed to a psychologist?
Well, I’m going to be careful with generalizing what different coaches do because different coaches come from different backgrounds and different methods of coaching. That being said, it’s not a bad analogy. In general, coaching deals more with immediate needs and attempts to frame the processes in a smaller time period, while a psychologist is more likely to investigate your past and what caused the ‘obstacles’. Again, that’s a gross generalization because there are several methods for coaching and several ones for psycho-analysis. But the analogy does help to understand what I do.
I like how you’re very careful with how you use the language. You choose each word carefully.
Yes. We have a say in Hebrew, ‘life and death is in the hands of the tongue.’ And that’s also part of what I try to convey to my clients—that language is a powerful tool. And if you use the tool wisely, you will reap the benefits.
Can you give me an example?
Sure. One of my clients complained that he’s not getting the response he was looking for from his website. After a quick glance, I had a good theory why—his website contained quite a few mistakes in English. People some times don’t realize how important these little things are. Your website is your business card—it is how the world sees you and how you market yourself. If you leave even the slightest mistakes on the website, you’re taking a huge risk of turning potential clients off. Just try to remember how annoying it is for you to hear someone make a mistake in your native language. Imagine if you saw a few mistakes in a book you’re reading or the morning newspaper. I don’t know about you, but in cases where that happens to me I feel cheated–As though the person that wrote it didn’t feel I’m important enough to invest the time to make the message clear and correct. I see a lot of these mistakes on websites, brochures, and other marketing materials, and I’m certain that it turns people off. And that’s money these people are losing.
Sounds right to me. Any other difference between ‘regular’ English and Business English.
Sure. When we consult or train in the area of business English, we deal with issues that are more relevant to the business world: Creating effective presentations, writing an effective CV / Resume, preparing for a job interview, editing and correcting business emails, websites, marketing materials, and even preparing a marketing or training video for a company. You won’t find these things in your typical English course. We’re not preparing students to be able to order a sandwich on their next trip to New York. Well, the client will be able to do that also, but that’s not the focus. The focus is to prepare people to deal with the business world in the best possible way. The goal is to make people whose English is not their native tongue competitive, marketable, and global.
We need to conclude the interview. Any last advice?
My best advice is to tell you that you should not be afraid of English just because you’re not a native speaker. Practice makes perfect. Do not be afraid to invest in yourself.

What Structures are Part of an English Course on Line?
火曜日, 5月 17th, 2011What Structures are Part of an English Course on Line?
When you take an English course on line, you have to start at the beginning just as you would with any English course that will teach you to read, write and speak the language. When searching for a free online course, you have to make sure the course contains the four main components of learning English ?listening, speaking, reading and writing. Therefore you need to make sure the course has an audio component in which the passages are read by native English speakers. Since the course is free, you can easily check out all aspects of iyt to make sure it has everything you need to help you learn the English language.
The audio component should contain conversational and business English. The conversations at the beginning of the course are very short and simple, which is what you need to get started. These beginning conversations start with teaching you how to introduce yourself to others and how to ask for directions. The conversations gradually increase in difficulty as the structures you learn become more difficult.
As part of an online course, you also need to learn all the facets of English grammar so that you can speak and write the language correctly. This includes learning the parts of speech, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverb, etc., their purpose in different sentences and how to use them correctly. Punctuation is part of the course, as is the tense of verbs and the types of sentences.
Each lesson in the course should consist of a set in instructions that explain what the structure is and examples of how to use it. While you can read these instructions, you also need to be able to practice what you have learned. This is why you should look for a course that has pages of practice exercises and immediate feedback on how well you did so that you know if you should review the lesson on move on to the next one. By studying the structures of English grammar in this way, you now only learn how to write the language, but this helps you with your speaking and writing.
You can usually handle the speaking part of such a course on your own. Listen to the speaker reading the passage several times and then play the passage again as you read along with it. Record yourself reading the passage on your own and then play it back to compare it with the speaker. Make sure you complete the comprehension exercises at the end of these passages because this will help you understand the language when you read and listen to others.
You do have to discipline yourself when you take an online course in English. This is because you are studying on your own at home, so you have to make sure you do set a time for yourself, the same as you would if you were attending class. This means setting a time when you are going to study so you should inform your friends and family that you will be unavailable at this time. The benefit of studying English in this way is that you can do so at any time unlike having to stick to a schedule during the day or early eveming.

Write Emails Formally
To get used to writing formal emails, try writing all your emails in a professional manner, even those not directly related to your work.

Don’t forget to proofread by using a software for grammar correction – it helps tremendously.
Taking Business English Courses
Finding information about business English has never been as easy as it is now. There are plenty of free online courses that you can go through at your own pace. Should you require lessons that are a bit more comprehensive, you can enroll in an online correspondence course or a weekend seminar in your area – both of which are usually readily available.
Model The Pros
Is there anyone in your organization that is particularly good at communicating personally? Model that person. Go over emails and reports they create, looking intently at how they structure their writing. Watch them during meetings to see how they interact. If you can, invite them to dinner and pick their mind, asking for advice for your own skills development.
