Changes to work and a global imperative for upskilling is seeing a shift in learner profiles and greater ties between education and work. English is often the lingua franca of business and is becoming a global requirement for all sectors of industry at all levels in organisations. This trend has precipitated an on-going rise in industry-specific English language courses and alongside this a focus on developing practical skills for the workplace.

As more employers look for ‘all-round’ employees who can combine technical expertise and soft skills, continual work-related curricula with integrated work and learning components are a critical design feature of any English language lesson.

Developing learners who are real-world ready means preparing them to use English effectively and confidently not just inside the classroom but helping them develop key skills, knowledge and behaviours for the workplace.

This presentation will explore the extent to which employment is driving the future of English language learning and how teachers can prepare for this on-going global shift.
