One of the most effective ways to improve English proficiency is to focus on learning vocabulary “areas” for specific professional situations. By targeting language that is relevant to particular functions, Thai professionals will be empowered to communicate more confidently & effectively.
Let’s look at some of the vocabulary areas that we recommend for corporate language training in Thailand.
The first area many professionals need to master is the language used in business meetings. This includes common phrases and vocabulary for initiating discussions, making suggestions, offering opinions, and resolving conflicts.
Phrases like “Let’s move on to the next item on the agenda,” or “I’d like to hear your thoughts on this” become crucial in maintaining the flow of a meeting. Learning how to navigate discussions smoothly can make all the difference in leading or participating in a productive meeting.
Negotiation is another critical area of targeted English for professionals in Bangkok. Learning how to ask for compromise, state one’s position clearly, and arrange contract terms is essential in building stronger business relationships.
For example, knowing the difference between phrases like “Can you meet me halfway?” and “What’s your best offer?” can set the tone for more effective and professional negotiations.
These kinds of Business English vocabulary are what we call multi-words vocabulary.
Do your employees ever need help using English that meets “professional standards”?
Digital marketing and brand communication are key drivers of business success. Whether you’re involved in content creation, social media campaigns, or brand positioning, understanding the specific terminology related to marketing can help elevate your work.
Thai companies should train employees in English so they can communicate better with customers AND coworkers. With respect to coworkers, one area where vocabulary plays a significant role is in employee performance reviews. Being able to give and receive feedback in English is crucial for any leadership position.
Learning words and phrases that allow for clear, constructive feedback – such as “areas for improvement,” “performance metrics,” or “professional development opportunities” – enables managers to communicate more effectively with their team members.
