Employee English Courses in Thailand Have Lacked Innovation
Lessons have been stuck in the same place for years.
That’s because most of Bangkok’s English training providers still teach grammar rules. And they still use a “Business English” textbook like “Market Leader.”
Grammar is okay and that textbook is fine, but they are the old way of teaching English lessons. It’s boring and, apparently, ineffective.
ECSC Thailand is changing the game. We’re providing English training in a new way that’s engaging and effective. We’re innovating so professionals in Thailand speak English confidently.

What Makes Employee English Courses in Thailand Effective?
ECSC believes Business English courses for Thai professionals should be focused on three things: vocabulary, pronunciation, and speaking practice.
More specifically, lessons should have these two features to help your employees overcome shyness:
- Lessons should teach professional, job-related vocabulary
- Lessons should allow interactive, role-play speaking practice
Our trainers are native speakers from the UK, US, Canada, and Down Under. They are “Business English” experts because they are certified trainers AND experienced working in the business world.
ECSC Offers Two Types of Business English Courses
English lessons for companies can be general or specific. That means the vocabulary in the lessons can be relevant to all employees OR it can be focused on certain employees’ needs.
That difference separates the two types of courses we offer:
- If you would like staff from all around your company to learn together, you need General Business English (GBE).
- If you would like staff from specific departments to learn together, you need English for Specific Departments (ESD).

How Long Are Employee English Courses? What About Pricing?
Employee English courses in Thailand can take the form of a “short course” or require a multi-month commitment.
Learning English really is a matter of “practice makes perfect,” and there are no quick fixes. Our opinion is based on years of experience providing corporate English training in Bangkok.
ECSC offers 15, 30, or 45-hour courses, with each lesson being 90-minutes long. Here is an overview of what a GBE or ESD course could look like for your company:
- Length: 30-hour course (20 lessons at your offices)
- Schedule: Twice per week for 10 weeks
- Participants: 4-12 students per course
- Price: 2,500 THB/hr. all-inclusive = 75,000 THB investment (30 hours)
This is upskilling of employees that can help your company earn more new business and maintain more existing business. This is a serious investment with high potential ROI.
