Language Training Solutions
Here are some of the ways we have helped our clients define and address their language challenges and move forward in the global market:
| Challenge | English for Life Solution |
| Industry-leading, global manufacturing corporation experienced difficulties when Customer Service departments were relocated from Canada and the U.S. to Mexico. | English for Life examined the existing Customer Services environment, then designed and delivered a 12-hour workshop for Mexican Customer Service Reps covering English pronunciation, cultural differences, and customer service issues. This training was delivered on site in Querétaro, Mexico, by English for Life trainers. The program is now used as an integral part of new hire orientation training. |
| Global leader in research and manufacturing wanted their international sales teams to be able to communicate in English throughout sales regions across Europe and Asia. | We provided a 15-hour English training course, combining American and Global Business Communication styles, to Sales Team members from across Europe and Asia. |
| Leading Korean University and Hospital system was searching for a way to provide authentic English experiences for the families of its employees who were preparing for international careers. | English for Life created and taught Experience English, a two-week summer camp program in South Korea for 45 elementary school-aged kids. |
| The same Korean company, pleased with the outcome of the first Experience English summer camp, wanted an even more authentic English learning experience. | We hosted an 18-day Experience English Summer Camp in Greenville, SC. English for Life organized homestays, activities, a full-day summer camp, and a final trip for 24 South Korean children. |
| International Hotel / Hospitality organization noticed communication challenges between clients and housekeeping staff. | English for Life developed and taught a 10-week English course focusing on the English needed for improved communication with clients. |
| International Au Pair agency needed courses that would fit into the schedules of local au pairs and focus on their language and cultural needs. | English for Life partnered with the local community college to offer weekend experiential learning intensives that focused on local culture, geography, and history. |
| Regional Community College often received calls from companies about providing customized English and Spanish language training for a variety of situations. | English for Life partners with the college to design and implement courses to meet the needs of the local business community. |
| Despite high TOEFL scores, international students at a top liberal arts college still needed help in academic writing, critical thinking, academic vocabulary, and cultural expectations in a U.S. university environment. | English for Life designed a multi-pronged approach, including: A) developing a pre-semester orientation for new international students equipping them for academic success and college life, B) providing tutors for ongoing academic support, and C) presenting professional development workshops to faculty and staff, offering techniques and strategies to support the academic growth of their international students. |
| Associates working with globally-competitive organizations – who train, hire, and work internationally – need to develop and leverage excellent communication skills in English. | English for Life provides on-going customized language classes for Executives and other key leaders and professionals, as they improve their job performance through better English communication and cultural understanding. |
| Associates from international organizations relocate to the Upstate SC area, and are overwhelmed by the tasks required by the relocation and integration process. | English for Life provides English classes for the entire family that go beyond language. We assist in cultural integration and provide relocation support and information to make the transition as smooth as possible, from registering kids at school, to finding a doctor, to writing resumes and finding employment. |
