Many ESL students feel intimidated in using their learned language skills in a work setting. As ESL teachers, we discern and dissect the obstacles in the way of our students' accomplishments. We all hope to pave a path to a brighter future for English learners. In YourAgora’s series of "ESL in The Workplace," we contribute to that effort by focusing on the specifics - we help teachers tackle features of the professional world that may challenge both our students and ourselves. We also teach skills to help promote effective communication between teachers and students in the business English ESL classroom.
