Business English is a part of English for specific purposes and can be considered a specialism within
English language learning and teaching. Many non-native English speakers study the subject with the
goal of doing business with English-speaking countries, or with companies located outside the Englishspeaking world but which nonetheless use English as a shared language.
In Business English course you learn specific vocabulary and perform tasks to practice applying those

understanding job profiles and marketing, and corresponding through writing proposals and emails.
