About the Business Speaking course

Learners are exposed to 600+ expressions in natural business contexts with interlocutors from six countries: the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and India.
The course content applies across a wide range of business fields, making it highly practical for real-world use.
An adaptive learning approach
Business Speaking includes practice in both formal and informal business situations. Learners develop vocabulary and key expressions through listening and speaking activities to communicate more confidently at work.
Each lesson ends with a role-play style assessment to check whether learners can use new language accurately and appropriately in context.
On completion, learners will have a significantly wider vocabulary and be able to use English effectively with customers and colleagues.
