In Bangkok and across Thailand, English proficiency is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity. Companies working with foreign clients, partners, or colleagues need employees who can communicate clearly in English.
The challenge? Many Thai professionals already understand grammar well enough to form sentences. What holds them back is not structure – it’s vocabulary. To succeed in the workplace, they need business-specific English vocabulary that can be used immediately on the job.
What makes ECSC’s approach different?
Here are five key principles that set our training apart:
- Vocabulary first – ECSC Thailand always prioritizes business English vocabulary over grammar.
- Tailored learning – Our 1-on-1 training helps employees in their exact areas of specialization.
- English Plus – Every lesson combines English communication with soft-skills development.
- Learning by doing – Role-plays and realistic practice are at the core of our training.
- Confidence building – We make sure students feel at ease with their training.
This approach ensures that training is not only about language but about practical business growth.
Which vocabulary areas matter most for Thai professionals?
Business Meetings Vocabulary
Employees learn how to open discussions, suggest ideas, agree or disagree politely, and move conversations forward. For example:
- “I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.”
- “Let’s move on to the next agenda item.”
Mastering this language helps Thai professionals lead and participate in meetings with confidence.
Negotiation Vocabulary
Negotiations require precision. Employees practice language for compromise, persuasion, and closing deals. For example:
- “Can you meet me halfway?”
- “What’s your best offer?”
This targeted vocabulary helps professionals build trust and reach agreements effectively. These kinds of business English questions are what we call multi-words vocabulary.

Marketing Vocabulary
For teams in branding, digital campaigns, or content creation, marketing terms are critical. For example:
- “Brand equity”
- “Target audience”
Learning how to expand these into full expressions (e.g., “We’re focused on developing brand equity”) prepares employees to contribute meaningfully in marketing discussions.
Employee Review Vocabulary
Managers need to give constructive feedback in English. With the right vocabulary, they can evaluate performance respectfully and clearly. For example:
- “Areas for improvement”
- “Performance metrics”
- “Professional development opportunities”
This ensures feedback sessions strengthen, not strain, working relationships.
