Global Business English

English is spoken as a first language by more than 300 million people throughout the world, and used as a second language by many millions more. One in five of the world's population speaks English with a good level of competence, and within the next few years the number of people speaking English as a second language will exceed the number of native speakers.

This could have a dramatic effect on the evolution of the language: in the process of being absorbed by new cultures, English develops to take account of local language needs, giving rise not just to new vocabulary but also to new forms of grammar and pronunciation.
At the same time, however, a standardized “global” English is spread by the media and the Internet.

The main regional standards of English are British, US and Canadian, Australian and New Zealand, South African, Indian, and West Indian. Within each of these regional varieties a number of highly differentiated local dialects may be found.
Standard English today does not depend on dialect or accent but rather on shared educational experience. Present-day English is an immensely varied language, having absorbed material from many other tongues. It is the official language of air transport and shipping; the leading language of science, technology, computers, and commerce; and a major medium of education, publishing, and international negotiation. For this reason scholars frequently refer to its latest phase as Global English.

The following courses and services are available at Global English:

  • Business English.
  • Technical English.

I adapt my teaching to the subject area and the respective level and skill of my student; also within groups.
I am convinced that every student should be promoted individually according to his/her abilities and potential.
