Global English
For better or for worse, English is the lingua franca of international business, diplomacy and academia. The number of degree programmes with English as the medium of instruction is growing, even in countries where English is not the first language. Almost sixty percent of content on the web is in English. More and more multinational companies are introducing English as a common corporate language, in a bid to improve collaboration across geographically diverse locations.
Anyone who uses English to get by in their daily life has ownership of Global English, not just native speakers. Our approach to teaching Business English reflects this reality.
Check out our blog for more on English as a global language.
The ability to speak a foreign language, and the experience of living, working and studying in another country, are considered important assets in the international jobs market.
Business English develops rapidly as technology changes the way we communicate. As video-conferencing replaces face-to-face meetings, learners need to adopt new language strategies for effective business communication.
English is now spoken by a quarter of the world’s population. It now belongs to the world and increasingly to non-native speakers – who today far outnumber native speakers.
