THE PRO - ENGLISH ON THE JOB

MODULE 1

THE PRO

Speak like a professional

In a job at a multinational company, the biggest challenge for learners of English is to speak with the same professionalism as in their own language. I know, working in English may be as disorienting as looking up at skycrapers.

When you are working in English,

you find it harder to express your valuable professional ideas;
your message has a weaker impact;
it takes longer to explain what you mean;
you react slower in discussions;
you are less active in common thinking;
you often use the same few lines and words.

You feel like you are not the same professional as in your own language…

SPEAK LIKE A PROFESSIONAL

After working with multinational companies on improving their employees’ Professional English,
I have found that they look for 3 important English skills in their professionals:

Talk about the work professionally

Know how to talk about the work, processes, functions at the company. Not only about your work, but about other departments’ work, too. Be able to talk about the whole picture professionally.

EXPRESS YOUR OPINION PROFESSIONALLY

Share your ideas and opinions professionally in a meeting with several people. Speak up if you see problems or have innovative ideas, add to the growth of the company.

FORM A Quick OPINION ABOUT DATA

Communicate about data confidently. React quickly and professionally to a data chart or trends in figures. be able to explain changes in KPI’s or costs effectively without wasting expensive time.
