  When teaching business English classes you are expected to act and teach in a business-like manner. This does not mean that your lessons should automatically be staid and uninteresting but that your activities should be appropriate for and relevant to the needs of your students. Asking the vice-president of the company to stand up and sing ‘I’m a little teapot’ in front of his or her staff is not the best way to approach teaching English to business professionals or to ensure your contract is renewed.

Jon ITTT Alumni Experiences Teaching “Business English” is an interesting context for an English teacher. A lot of teachers are concerned about teaching in this context because they think that they need detailed knowledge or experience about business. Even though a knowledge of business is useful, it is not the number one skill or ability a teacher should have. On the contrary, there is nothing to fear as essentially you are still an English teacher and your students (clients) often have the business knowledge they need, but can just not express themselves in English. So it is all about adapting and taking your normal teaching approach from the general English class, and making it work in the business context. A teacher should remember that...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences As a former teacher of English as a foreign language, I have some experience teaching business English. Majority of my classes were for general English conversation. However, as I continued teaching, my workload increased to include a few business-focused classes. At first, I was intimidated and nervous about teaching these students. Did I have enough knowledge about business to teach them? Would I have the information they needed? After a lot of preparation and a few lessons, I realized that business classes are not much different than regular English classes and I need not know much about business to be a successful business English teacher. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Megan B....  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences What type of a TEFL teacher do I want to be? I have learned from Unit 19 Teaching Special Groups there are different types of classes. They are Teaching Beginners, Teaching Individual Students, Teaching Children, Business English / English for Specific Purposes (ESP), and Monolingual and the Multilingual Class.

My essay will be primarily based on what I learned in Unit 19 and from internet research. A lot of what I will be writing...  [Read more]

Russ Tuff Alumni Experiences I had been the owner of a tourism business in Bali, Indonesia when Covid-19 came along and spoiled all the fun. It was time to take my business and personal coaching skills from a previous life and build a new income stream. Having just completed the 120-hour online TEFL course in March 2020, I had the thought, “yeah okay I’ll do that Young Learners course offered by ITTT”. I did that course, and then quickly followed up with the Business English course, before applying for more than 22 online teaching positions over two days. I naively thought I was ready to go for online teaching positions with those qualifications. Of those 22 positions I applied for, one came back to me within days and said, “Thanks but no...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas English is, without a doubt, the global language of business, and the ever-increasing globalization of the world economy means that the vast majority of people working in the business world today are required to show some fluency in the language to communicate effectively with clients, partners or colleagues. Business English commonly refers to the formal English language that is used in a business context, encompassing all types of communication (presenting, reporting, discussing, negotiating, communicating via phone/email, etc.) as well as any business-specific vocabulary. However one can learn it only after having achieved a decent fluency in general English. Knowledge of informal language including slang and...  [Read more]

Mark Crocker TEFL Information Teaching Ideas The world of teaching English as a foreign language can take you into many different types of classrooms, and teaching business-related English is one of the fastest-growing areas worldwide. Despite a rapid increase in demand in the business sector, many teachers are reluctant to go down this route for a few common reasons. Although teaching English in a business environment is a professional undertaking that needs to be taken seriously, you should not overlook opportunities in this area because you are intimidated by the prospect or don't have the necessary background to achieve success. Teaching jobs in the business sector are widespread and potentially very lucrative, so we have...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The point I intend to make is that, in practice, the problems involved in teaching English for business may not differ so very much from those involved in teaching English per se. It calls for the same quality of classroom management (if perhaps applied somewhat more diplomatically), and the teaching techniques essential to any successful pedagogic endeavor. Nevertheless, it also offers an opportunity for the instructor to apply advanced skills, and to increase his/her knowledge and sense of job satisfaction. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Ian R. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. In my experience, many teachers view the...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Business English is considered a specific subset of international English. Business English focuses on studying English vocabulary and topics that can be applied to business purposes such as trade, finance, and even international relations. English in the workplace often requires a specific subset of skills such as presentations, negotiations, and professional correspondence that are typically not covered in general English courses. As the amount of business English learners grows, there is an increasing need to understand how business English differs from general English and what strategies are effective for teaching business English.
