English is a language which is well widespread now all over the world. Many people yet don’t have an English effective enough for business. According to a study from Global Solutions Corporation, “it shows that a lack of Business English proficiency is threatening the productivity of companies, industries and country-specific economies this year….a Towers Watson study found that effective business communications can lead to a 47 percent higher total shareholder return.”

And the study adds that “those (companies) which tackle Business English on a strategic, enterprise-wide level, are dramatically more likely to succeed across a broad spectrum of business outcomes than companies with a fragmented and reactive business communications approach.”

For such people these days there are many English intensive courses available in the market like Elc in United States.

French, German, Spanish, Italian are the traditional ones but now have to compete more now with Russian, Chinese, Portuguese spoken in emerging countries Russia, China, Brazil.

French remains important for who wants to deepen knowledge ...
