Introduction
There are literally thousands of ways you can try to improve your spoken and written English and communication, including taking numerous online and offline courses.
By all means, you should try them out. Learn how to order breakfast in English at a five star restaurant, or find out the best ways to open a conversation with someone at a party, or learn how to draft a flawless business letter.
Will that serve your purpose of working remotely with high potential international startups, getting promotions, collaborating effectively with global teams, and making effective presentations to foreign clients and the senior-most management?
If you have any doubts, just do a quick google search and you will find a lot of generic courses for learning English, that are perhaps more suitable for teenagers learning a new language, but not created specifically for working software engineers.
It is a routine story that software engineers try to learn English from a generic English course, and then fail to even stay interested because what they learn is clearly not what they needed to learn.
Why?
You know the answer as well as I do. Honestly, I cannot think of a single generic English language course that will teach you what you actually need to learn as an international professional or remote worker.
Now what if there was a course where you started fine tuning your English communication by conveying technical information in correct English in specific business situations typical for working with international clients and remote work,such as:
- Requirement gathering and analysis
- Client meetings
- Creating client proposals
- Performance reviews
- Professional presentations
- Pitching to international clients
- Resolving disputes within the team
- Stand up meetings and feedback meetings for your own team
- Inspiring and influencing your peers and team
- Using social media to get more opportunities
Learning objectives of this course
The objective of this course is to enable you to communicate effectively using corporate English communication in the most important work contexts faced by international professionals and remote workers on a day-to-day basis.

- Access international opportunities as a remote freelance worker who can serve clients across the globe
