What’s business english and why is it important

 

Business English refers to the language used frequently in English speaking business environments (or in situations where English is used as a lingua franca), and the skills required to engage in different kinds of communication in the English speaking business world.

Business has its own set of concepts and terminology that professionals must be familiar with in order to hold productive conversations with clients and coworkers, and to get their work done. On top of that, individuals also need to know how to give presentations, lead meetings, write emails, and communicate on the phone.

It is important to understand business English as day to day activities require the use of such language and skills. Individuals who are not proficient may find it harder to perform their job.

Those who work to improve their business English often find it easier to perform day to day functions due to decreased language barriers, more confidence collaborating with others and using their English, and a greater understanding of their role overall.

Not only can this lead to personal success, but it can also create new career opportunities.
