Business English

Business English refers to the type of English that is used by people to do business. It focuses on the vocabulary and topics used throughout the corporate world and the communication skills required in the workplace. English is the business language of the world and has served as a bridge of communication in the rise of globalisation. The ability to express oneself fluently and professionally in English is therefore essential for business success in international markets.

Eden Language Academy’s Business English Course is designed to equip students with the necessary written and verbal communication skills needed in the English business world. This course will teach students the core grammatical structures, pronunciation, and business vocabulary and phrases to express themselves in English with greater fluency, accuracy, and confidence. This course takes an industry-specific approach which allows professionals to learn the specialised terminology associated with their particular field or area of activity.
