I was invited onto TESOLPop to discuss how Business English teaching is evolving and how language training can better reflect the realities of professional communication.
In this conversation, I share my approach to helping professionals develop practical English skills through authentic conversations, personalised learning and real-world communication scenarios. I explain why having an accent is a sign of bravery, and how to benefit from the “two experts in the room” approach.
We also discuss the importance of collaboration between teacher and learner, recognising progress and creating learning experiences that build both competence and confidence. The interview explores why effective Business English is not simply about following textbook rules, but about helping learners communicate clearly and confidently in international workplaces.
Key topics:
- Modern Business English training
- Professional communication skills
- Authentic workplace English
- Learner-centred approaches
- Building confidence through language
