English is the international language – three quarters of the sites on the Internet are in English, a similar percentage of mail and faxes sent worldwide are in English, and English is the official language of the Olympic Games. In fact, the World Trade Organization debriefs, meets, and publicizes primarily in English even if the representatives are from countries where English is not the native language. These are among the many reasons why adult learners abroad need ESL teachers like you. Teaching business English is your opportunity to teach the future leaders and business innovators of tomorrow how to effectively communicate in the most international language. Specializing in Teaching Business English will give you the skills required to teach adults how to correspond and function in English within the global business community.
