Traditional teacher preparation courses, such as the CELTA, provide a solid foundation for understanding language teaching principles, grammar, skills development, lesson staging, and managing a classroom. These courses, however, were primarily designed with general English learners and traditional classrooms in mind. Teachers emerge well-versed in lesson planning and controlled activities but are often underprepared for the dynamic, unpredictable, and outcome-focused realities of teaching in a corporate setting. Here, learners are not just acquiring language; they are actively using English as a tool to solve problems, collaborate with teams, make decisions, and reflect on their professional lives.

Corporate business English teaching demands more than materials-driven lesson plans or pre-set coursebooks. It requires a flexible, learner-centered approach where teaching emerges from the needs, challenges, and interests of the participants. It calls for real-world skills, critical thinking, and communication strategies that learners can immediately transfer to their professional roles.

This ebook embraces this philosophy and provides teachers with a practical toolkit of frameworks that meet those needs head-on. It also provides professionals with proven, practical tools that will support their working lives.

What's inside?

This ebook is a Business English Toolbox, filled with practical coaching frameworks, facilitation tools, and real-world business strategies. These tools, such as Empathy Mapping, the GROW Model, and the 7Ps of Meetings, are widely used by professionals in industries like leadership, project management, and strategy. They are designed to help individuals and teams structure their thinking, facilitate communication, and achieve meaningful outcomes in their professional lives. While these tools are often associated with coaching, leadership development, or strategic planning, their versatility makes them equally useful for learners in a Business English classroom. They provide structure and clarity, helping learners build language skills while solving real-world problems or reflecting on their work. This ebook provides tried and tested tools which have been formatted for classroom use as well as guidance for getting the most out of them.
