It often seems like business has its own language. Whether your goal is to work in an English-speaking country or conduct business internationally, the right language skills are important. Taking courses focused on the nuanced style and complexities of the English language as it’s used in the workplace can better prepare you for a future career in the United States and abroad. The benefits of enrolling in this type of program include:

• Greater marketability: Having a résumé that shows you can listen,
  speak, read, and write in English professionally helps you stand out
  among other international job candidates.
  
• Easier negotiation: If you plan to work in your home country
  eventually, learning English for business settings can make it easier
  to negotiate with English-speaking partners on your company’s
  behalf.
  
• Wider client potential: If your future profession operates globally,
  having someone like you who can speak and understand English in
  professional settings may assist your company in broadening its
  customer base.
