Business English courses are becoming more and more popular with learners because English has become a global language. International companies will often use English to communicate even if none of the parties involved are native speakers. For example a Korean company with French business associates will use English to communicate because it is the language that both groups are most likely to have studied. For ESL teachers, these courses can be challenging so it is important to study up on the topic before you start trying to share information with your students. Being able to restate complex terms in their simplest form is going to be one of the most important things you do in this type of class.
