Business English is something a lot of students are looking for but what exactly is it and what are teachers and schools offering it providing.
To start with I'd say that most of the conversations in a business setting require only general conversational English skills. Where I think a shift comes is in the specific situations that business life regularly throws up, such as:
A meeting; whether it be a conference call or a round table discussion there is a certain formality, culture and structure to these situations. Discussing and rehearsing with a native teacher who's had experience of these kind of business interactions can help the student feel more relaxed and prepared to participate. There's also some specific words and phrases that are used when a participant in the meeting...
So what’s Business English anyway?
