The course is interesting, everything is to the point. It gives me the chance the repeat my university knowledge. Especially first modules... are exactly from my university program. The assessments are very detailed, it takes a lot of time to complete. I work in the school, I have to do my lesson plans as well, there is not enough time to spend by writing assessment. Once it took 6 days to complete it. I wish assessment could be in a form of the test where we could add only our examples. To my mind there is no need to print all the information from the course again. And also checking of the assessment takes time, it could be done faster. Anyway, thank you very much. I really love the course 💕read more

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
