 So you know about teaching English as a foreign
language (TEFL), but do you know about teaching
Business English versus teaching General English?
After all, THE TEFL Academy Reviews tell us TEFL
teachers need to be flexible when it comes to their
teaching and you never know when you might be
tasked with teaching Business English.

 English is fast becoming the global language of
business. More and more international companies are
mandating English as their corporate language – like
Nokia, Renault and Samsung – to ensure they can
communicate and compete in the international market.
In fact, all the way back in 2010, Rakuten – Japan’s
largest online marketplace – required their employees
to display competence in English within two years, or
face demotion or dismissal.

 In fact, research from the University of
Chicago found that people make more rational
decisions when they consider them in a second
language. This is because we think more rationally
and less instinctively in another language. In other
words, speaking English as a foreign language can
be beneficial in a business context not only in
terms of communication but in terms of strategy
too.

 So it perhaps shouldn’t be surprising that Business
English teachers are in high demand. Which is
where you come in! Have you ever considered
teaching Business English?

 Business English falls under English for Specific
Purposes. It was designed for professionals who
need to communicate in English in the workplace.
Business English includes:

 writing emails
 giving presentations
 taking minutes
 taking notes
 preparing reports
 negotiating
 making sales.

 According to TEFL Academy Reviews,
Business English can be necessary for
employees at all levels of a business, from
salespeople to managers to call Center agents
to CEOs. Students who take Business English
lessons might do so in-company during office
hours, or privately after-hours. Sometimes,
companies sponsor their employees to take a
sabbatical specifically to learn English. Often
teaching Business English lessons will involve
one-to-one lessons.

 Business English includes very specialized language related to the
particular field of business, and a more formal style than General
English. Business English is used in meetings, on the phone, in
emails, and at networking events.

 On the other hand, General English is the English we use in our
daily lives. It is the English we need to communicate in everyday
situations, whether that is ordering a pizza, asking for directions
or making small talk.

 Business English and General English differ in vocabulary, but
also in nuance, tone and expressions. Business English vocabulary
in the classroom can be more advanced than General English
vocabulary.
