Conclusions
● Teaching Business English requires primarily an English teacher dealing
with a special situation in terms of content and learners.
● Different from general English teaching, business English focuses on skills
and contextual use of the language.
● Although many schools do not have specific business English courses, the
need for many users already exists, thus one to one Business English
teaching is great opportunity.
