Business English at Speak is built for professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, and students who need to communicate effectively and confidently in the workplace. The course covers the language of meetings, presentations, professional emails and reports, negotiation, telephone and video calls, and cross-cultural communication — all taught through realistic business scenarios.
Classes run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 PM, specifically to suit working professionals. Rolling enrolment means you can join at any point in the cycle — the course content is structured so that new students integrate seamlessly. A minimum B1 level is recommended to get the most from the course.

- Entrepreneurs and business owners working with English-speaking partners or suppliers
- HR, finance, and operations staff who write formal reports and business correspondence
- Anyone preparing for a promotion, a new role, or a move to an English-speaking work environment
What you'll cover
Meetings
Chair and participate in professional meetings: setting agendas, agreeing action points, managing turn-taking, and handling disagreement diplomatically.
Presentations
Structure and deliver clear, confident presentations with visual aids, signposting language, and effective Q&A handling.
Professional Emails & Reports
Write clear, accurate business emails, reports, and proposals using the appropriate register, tone, and format.
Negotiation
Language for negotiating deals, making proposals, reaching agreements, and managing difficult commercial conversations.
Telephoning & Video Calls
Handle business calls, conference calls, and video meetings professionally: opening, redirecting, clarifying, and closing.
Networking & Cross-Cultural Communication
Build professional relationships, make effective small talk, and navigate cultural differences in an international workplace.
Our teaching approach
Business English lessons at Speak are task-based and immediately applicable. Students practise real scenarios — running a meeting, writing a client proposal, delivering a presentation, or negotiating a contract — rather than studying abstract language rules. Every session uses authentic business materials: case studies, real email exchanges, news articles, and video content from professional contexts.
Classes are kept at a manageable size (average 10–12 students, maximum 15) and run in the evenings to suit working schedules. The curriculum is modular, meaning the course content rotates in a way that works whether you join at week 1 or week 6. All teachers are native English speakers with CELTA qualifications and experience working in professional environments.
