Understanding English language needs

A solid understanding of both General and Business English language needs is essential for success in organizations and the workplace. Knowing how to properly communicate in written and spoken forms effectively conveys value, credibility and competence, and is a necessary part of keeping up with current trends and standards of communication. An analysis of English language needs can help to identify areas of weakness and inform decisions about the most appropriate strategies for developing the necessary language proficiency.
