Business English Communication Skills

Korshub take

The University of Washington's business English specialization has built a large following — over 177,000 learners — among non-native speakers who need workplace English specifically, not general conversation practice.

It's set at the intermediate level, so it assumes working English proficiency already and focuses on precision and professionalism from there.

What it covers

• Business writing and correspondence, including email tone and structure
• Telephone skills for inbound and outbound business calls
• Professional networking and presentation delivery
• Vocabulary, concision, and oral comprehension for the workplace

It's a strong match for professionals who already work in English but want to sound sharper in meetings, calls, and written correspondence — the kind of polish that matters for client-facing or cross-border roles.
