This course is aimed at EFL teachers who would like to specialise in teaching Business English. It is an ideal supplement for newly qualified EFL teachers who feel more comfortable teaching in a business environment than in a general language school. In many non-English countries, corporate English is a growth industry in which there is an increasing demand for dedicated and qualified teachers who have a solid understanding of business processes, procedures and terminology.
The course we offer focuses on the functions and skills that business people need to use English effectively in the workplace. The course covers the entire process of Corporate English Training, from the initial interview to the final assessment.
The modules include:
The special nature of business English
Establishing the client's needs
The Level Assessment
Designing a course
Selecting, writing, collecting and developing materials
Teaching business skills
Cultural diversity in international business
Distance training: computer VOIP and tele-training
Evaluation and assessment
Fundamental business principles and terminology

Hi Manya
I have just completed the TBE course at the Cape Town TESOL Training Institute with Liz Biggs.
I moved to London at the end of July and applied to do the TBE via correspondence. Liz kindly agreed to help me and gave me 6 months to complete the course. Through her prompt responses within 24hrs to my assignments and questions I managed to complete it in 3 months.
The material was fantastic. Interesting and most informative making this one of the most enjoyable courses I have followed. Liz's help and comments when marking my assignments helped me enormously. The comments were very practical which helped me think of the tasks in a practical manner rather than text book style.
I would highly recommend this course as Liz is an excellent facilitator.
