Corporate language training in Thailand is extremely important. It is important for employees and important for their companies, too.
Because here in Bangkok especially, English proficiency is no longer a luxury – it is practically a necessity. To improve one’s proficiency, one should be taught Business English vocabulary that can actually be used right away on the job.
Many Thai professionals are already at a solid level with their understanding of English grammar. They can construct sentences, use verb tenses appropriately, and communicate on a basic level. But there’s a crucial next step for these professionals: expanding their business-specific vocabulary.
Building Up a Business-Specific Vocabulary
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.
Business Meetings Vocabulary
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 Vocabulary
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.

Marketing Vocabulary
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.
Words like “brand equity” and “target audience” allow Thai professionals to speak the language of global marketing with confidence. Understanding how to expand those terms into “long tail” vocabulary – “we’re focused on developing brand equity” and “we’ve identified our target audience” – boosts their ability to discuss ideas in depth with international clients and stakeholders.
Employee-Review Vocabulary
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.
