Business EnglishBusiness english is especially related to the international trade. It can be considered a specialism within english language learning and teaching. Many non-native english speakers study the subject with the goal of doing business with english-speaking countries, or companies. Much of the english communication that takes place within business circles all over the world occurs between non-native speakers. Here, the objective is an efficient and effective system of communication. The strict rules of grammar are in such cases sometimes ignored - a stressed negotiator's only goal is to reach an agreement as quickly as possible. Business english means different things to different people. For some, it focuses on vocabulary and topics used in the worlds of business, trade, finance, and international relations. For others it refers to the communication skills used in the workplace, and focuses on the language and skills needed for typical business communication such as presentations, negotiations, meetings, small talk, socializing, correspondence, report writing, etc. Professional business english lessons are needs focused lessons which have to meet the specific needs of individuals. For most business english learners, time is at a premium and they are also used to seeing a return on investment. They want the lessons to help them do their jobs better and they want to be able to see progress. At the beginning of the course you will ask your learners what they need to learn, and then design lessons to help them achieve their goals. These goals will usually be practical, e.g. to give better presentations or to use a wider range of vocabulary relating to the specific industry. It is often the case that you have a fixed block of lessons and so it is important that you make sure your clients goals are achieved during this time or the company, who is paying for the course, will not be satisfied. Learning a foreign language used to be considered as a part of a liberal education or an intellectual exercise through the study of grammar and literature. It was automatically assumed that anyone studying a foreign language as a major field was going to be either a teacher, an interpreter, or a translator and had no other career options. There is still a need for people in those professions. There is also a growing need for individuals who possess advanced skills in foreign languages and are trained in various technical areas. This is a result of increased activity in international business, the inflow of large amounts of foreign capital to the Unitied States, increased internationalization, and an expanded awareness of the need to conduct not only business but also diplomatic relations in the language of the host country. A second language is now becoming a vital part of the basic preparation for an increasing number of careers. Even in those cases where the knowledge of a second language does not help graduates obtain a first job, many report that their foreign language skills often enhance their mobility and improve their chances for promotion. In addition to any technical skills that foreign language students choose to develop, they also have further tangible advantages in the job market. In a recent study that sought to ascertain which college courses had been most valuable for people who were employed in the business world, graduates pointed not only to career-oriented courses such as business management, but also to people-oriented subjects like psychology, and to classes that had helped them to develop communication skills. Foreign language students, whose courses focus heavily on this aspect of learning, often possess outstanding communication skills, both written and oral. english language comes to our aid in our commercial transactions throughout the globe. english is the language of the latest business management in the world and indian proficiency in english has brought laurels to many indian business managers. english is a means not only for international commerce; it has become increasingly essential for inter-state commerce and communication. In India, people going from North to South for education or business mostly communicate in english, which has become a link language. Keeping this in mind, the Parliament has also recognized english as an official language in addition to Hindi. All the facts of history and developments in present day India underline the continued importance of learning english in addition to vernaculars. The major reasoning for this practice is the sheer lack of foreign language skills of highly educated MBA holders in America. Big corporations are just reaping the benefits of the growing english training being taught in other countries. Accepting the failure of foreign language education in this country is affecting some companies, as someone is going to have to oversee the local national managers. http://www.deltapublishing.co.uk/development/what-is-business-english http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_English http://www.ericdigests.org/pre-924/study.htm http://www.usingenglish.com/articles/importance-english-language.html
