Do you want to communicate more effectively as a manager or leader in an international workplace? This course will help you master the English needed to plan, motivate, guide, and support teams in diverse professional environments.
You’ll begin with the foundations of management – key functions, leadership vocabularies, and the differences between managing and leading. From there, you’ll explore management styles, tone, hierarchy, and politeness strategies for effective communication. You’ll learn the essential language of leadership qualities, emotional intelligence, giving feedback, resolving conflict, and running meetings.
Your learning continues with practical frameworks like SWOT, SMART objectives, cost-benefit analysis, Belbin’s team roles, and Kotter’s model of change management. You’ll build the English needed to present ideas, justify decisions, communicate strategy, and speak confidently in cross-cultural contexts. Finally, you’ll develop the vocabulary and phrases required to lead remote and hybrid teams using modern communication tools.
With tasks, examples, dialogues, and downloadable PDFs, this course provides the essential Business English toolkit for anyone moving into leadership or management roles in a global environment.
