Learning Business English Success
When we launched our Learn Business English programmes under the banner of Professional English Communication in 2004, we didn’t realise just how popular they were going to be.
Since that time, we have turned our Learn Business English students into professional semioticans and insight strategist partners, professional photo-journalists with their work submitted to the UK and international media, and learning difficulties students into professional teachers. And, of course, there are our speaking difficulties students who have come to us for our Learn Elocution courses, who we have turned into confident presenters and representatives of their companies.
Neither did we realise when we created the slogan “Our English students speak for themselves” that their achievements and successes would go far beyond their acquired abilities in learning how to speak BBC English. When nurtured and supported by our vision and trained to our standards of what professional English communication should be, our Learn Business English students discovered qualities within themselves which they did not even realise they had.
This year, as we approach our 10th anniversary in teaching Learn Business English, we see the product of our success in our students who now work as professional English communicators, and we feel proud when we see their articles and names published, or see photographs of them as professional performers or to receive CDs of their latest pop music. Our vision of learning English for professional business purposes is far reaching which embraces the wants and needs of today’s fast-moving, competitive world of business.
As our successful students know, they didn’t get to where they are today without the hard work and commitment they applied to their training programmes with us. We know that we set high standards and what may seem to be unreachable goals, but we see within our students hidden ability which, with the correct training, will help them to realise their dreams.
We receive many enquiries from want-to-be students who feel that they would like to study with us. And you may wonder why, that after having spoken to these enquirers and sent information as to our training programmes, we don’t follow-up? The answer is simple. We feel that our training courses are unsuitable for them at that time. This may be due to the enquirer’s learner characteristics or external factors which may affect their learning and development during our training programmes. Therefore, we consider that the prospective learner’s commitment at the time of their enquiry to be insufficient to enable the fulfilment of the learning goals which we set.
Today, learners all around the world benefit from our training and development programmes either by following our Learn Business English online, English elocution classes, or accent reduction. The latest country to join our programmes is MINT member Nigeria, which receives LAMDA for Children Live Online Learning.
And our next challenge?
Well, we wouldn’t be celebrating our 10th year of success if we gave away our training techniques!
