Workplace English

Workplace English is a short-duration, command-specific language development course tailored to workplace needs. This course is designed for practical application to workplace interactions. Rather than grammar and rules, students will learn how to communicate effectively with coworkers and supervisors.

In this class, learners will:

  • Learn effective avenues of effective communication relating to work tasks
  • Understand how to ask for clarification of specific work duties
  • Demonstrate effective communication with coworkers and supervisors
  • Learn how to navigate interpersonal communication problems
  • Identify critical individuals to assist with work difficulties
  • Understand proper notification processes in the event of illness resulting in missed work shifts
  • Become aware of tools generally available which could enhance workplace interactions
  • Discuss strategies that could be shared with the employer to ease environmental acclimation
  • Define cultural differences that could affect the workplace

Employee registration is coordinated by the Program Manager supporting your training. Depending on the course, employees may register in person, through an organization-provided roster, or via a self-registration link. Your Program Manager will guide you through the best option for your specific training.
