Short answer
Business English Teacher Training prepares language teachers to support adults who use English in professional and workplace contexts.
What this means in practice
The focus is usually on needs analysis, workplace communication, meetings, presentations, email, negotiation, sector-specific vocabulary and adult learning.
Business English teachers often work with learners who have clear job-related goals, so lessons need to be relevant, time-efficient and adapted to real communication tasks.
What should you check before deciding?
- Adult-learning principles
- Workplace communication skills
- Needs analysis
- Authentic professional materials
Important distinction
Business English training develops language-teaching specialisation; it is not a business-management qualification.
