Course
Overview:
The world of English
teaching is becoming more fragmented or specialized.
Business English is becoming an increasingly popular
market with TESL/TEFL teachers in high demand. As
with all areas of teaching , students expectations
are higher and the days when a cursory glance through
a copy of a business curriculum book was all it
took to prepare for a business English lesson are
long gone.
Working with business
people demands special skills, knowledge and interests.
It is also an area of teaching that can favor the
mature teacher. Students are highly motivated since
the course has clear advantages for them within
their companies or careers in general.
The teacher also needs
to be highly flexible. Business English is a 'catch
all' phrase but each company will have specific
demands and needs for their individual programs.
