Questions and Answers

What does TBE stand for?

TBE stands for Teaching Business English.

What is Business English?

Business English is the type of language and communication styles used in a business context. These include finance and banking, international trade, law, politics, all types of commerce and various office settings. 

Teaching Business English is much more than vocabulary and grammar…it considers all types of professional scenarios such as meetings, presentations, negotiating, email and report writing as well as socializing and small talk. 

Who learns Business English?

Business English is important for anyone who wishes to work in an environment that communicates with the English speaking world. Business English learners are career-focused and often very driven.

How do I get a job teaching Business English?

There are no prerequisite qualifications to become a Business English teacher, however you should hold an internationally recognised TEFL qualification and have some teaching experience. Having a commercial or business background will help your employment chances, since you’ll be familiar with the vocabulary, communication styles and etiquette already. 

Taking a professional development course in teaching Business English will help you understand how to get the best results with your class.

How much do Business English teachers get paid?

Business English teachers can expect to earn between US$20 – $40 per hour. This will depend on class size, previous experience and the country / origin of your learners.

Is it hard to teach Business English?

Teaching Business English can be challenging, particularly if you have little or no commercial experience. The most successful Business English teachers have extensive knowledge of the industry they teach about. That said, even without a business background, a fluent English speaker can equip a Business English learner with strong foundations of how to communicate in a professional context.

How do you teach Business English?

Teaching Business English involves preparing learners for many types of professional scenarios including meetings, presentations, negotiations, email and report writing plus socializing and small talk. It is much more than simply teaching industry-specific vocabulary.

Successful Business English teachers will follow these 5 key tips:

  1. Have clear learner-defined goals
  2. Have clarity about context and learner industry / sectors
  3. Keep it specific and choose relevant materials
  4. Be flexible (you may need to go off plan more regularly than with other learner groups)
  5. Set a professional tone

I just completed the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Methodologies Course, and oh my goodness, I cannot give it enough praise.My... instructor, Michelle Benson was so wonderful and constructive. She gave awesome feedback and was very reassuring when I was nervous about delivering my 5-minute presentation.I felt very at ease with the group. I had some great classmates who I won’t soon forget. It was a good, confidence-building experience, and I can’t recommend it enough, especially to students in the self-guided TEFL courses who are feeling isolated or having trouble imagining putting what they’re learning into practice. The level of interaction is unlike anything else at Premier TEFL, and I think it makes things stick better and just feel more real.Five stars, two thumbs way up!Thanks so much to Michelle and the Premier TEFL team! :)read more
