Invest in your foreign workplace population by offering an on-site class to help them with their English written and spoken communication skills. SLA students find that our classes help them improve their level of communication as well as their confidence and motivation to participate more in their own professional development. All of SLA's classes can be brought to your workplace on a schedule that works best for your corporation and your employees' schedules.
Corporate classes are usually taught in an "intensive" format. Classes are usually conducted in 16 hours (instead of 20 hours) and in larger groups, sometimes with a teacher's assistant. Classes can be completed in as little as 4 days, or spread out as long as 5 weeks.
This is a valid concern. Nobody wants to offend their valued foreign workforce. One major company we teach for told us that their employees had been asking for the class for quite some time, but it seemed like a touchy area. When the 20-student class was offered, it filled in less than a day, with the students asking for more at its conclusion. This article in the Wall Street Journal also tells about the great reception such a class was met with at Bank of America. Employees felt more confident to speak publicly after taking the class.
