Thailand consistently ranks low on the worldwide English proficiency index. This impacts not only individuals but also the companies they work for. Weak English skills can hold back careers, reduce productivity, and even limit international opportunities.

Business English workshops help employees with a practical solution. They give employees the tools to communicate clearly, build confidence, and develop professional soft skills – all of which drive company success.

How do workshops benefit your company’s bottom line?

Clear communication is more than a “nice to have.”

 

It is necessary for the following:

 

  • Builds stronger client relationships
  • Reduces costly misunderstandings
  • Speeds up teamwork and decision-making
  • Improves your company’s global reputation

Basically, business is all about relationships and better English equals better relationships with non-Thai partners, coworkers, and customers.

What can employees actually improve in a Business English workshop?

At ECSC Thailand, our English Plus workshops target the real-world communication challenges Thai professionals face every day. Here are the top five areas of improvement:

1. Professional Composure

Employees learn to communicate with managers, executives, and clients using clear, concise, business-focused vocabulary.

This includes:

  • Writing professional emails with proper etiquette and brevity
  • Speaking up confidently in meetings without stumbling or freezing
  • Using industry-relevant expressions instead of memorized grammar rules

Result: Employees sound professional, capable, and confident in every interaction.

2. Networking & Relationship Building

Workshops also cover the “art” of conversation: small talk, cultural awareness, and social confidence. Thai professionals who can hold natural English conversations build stronger connections with international colleagues and clients.

 

Result: Stronger networks, stronger trust.

We can tell you from experience that farang in Thailand gravitate towards those Thai professionals who can carry on conversations with the kind of composure we talked about in point #1.

3. Business Writing Skills

From emails and reports to proposals and slide decks, written English is a daily challenge.

 

We focus on:

 

  • Using multi-words vocabulary (phrases, expressions, word pairs, idioms) 
  • Writing with correct structure, punctuation, and tone 
  • Matching the expectations of native-English business audiences

Result: Documents that impress, persuade, and represent your company’s professionalism.

4. Cross-Cultural Communication

English is the global language of business, but communication styles vary by culture.

 

Employees learn how to:

 

  • Adapt to international colleagues’ communication norms
  • Understand tone and body language in a cross-cultural context
  • Build rapport with global teams

Result: Employees avoid misunderstandings and foster collaboration across borders.

5. Presentation Skills

Everybody’s favorite, I’m sure: Standing in front of a room full of people to tell them about something complicated using your second language!

Public speaking in a second language is tough. Our workshops prepare professionals to:

 

  • Speak with composure and clarity
  • Handle Q&A sessions confidently
  • Use body language and politeness effectively

Result: Presentations that engage audiences and elevate the company’s image.
