Business English Place

Why BEP?

About BusinessEnglishPlace

With over 20 years' experience providing business communication skills training worldwide, we have developed these online programs to meet the needs of adults using English for work which weren't being met by traditional language schools.

Traditional language schools offer lengthy, costly level-based curriculums. And most have only limited content for job specializations (sales, international trade, human resources, customer service, …). Traditional language schools offer expensive just-in-case learning.

With your paid subscription to our service, whenever you need to improve a skill for a particular situation, you can just access just the lesson you need online. Each lesson takes 30 minutes and contains the language you need at the moment you need it. For example, if a sales representative in Japan must give a sales presentation in English tomorrow. He can access our lesson online entitled "The Sales Presentation" and complete interactive exercises online in 30 minutes and be more confident. BEP offers cost-effective just-in-time learning!

Our programs are most effective for adults who have had many years of English in school but still lack confidence in their intermediate to advanced business English communication skills.

Because we are business professionals as well as communication trainers, we understand the needs of the busy business professional. We are experts in business communication skills training.

The Rowley System

We offer a proven learning system that combines an understanding of effective adult language learning methods with an understanding of the needs of business.

Lessons are organized by real business situations you would face on your job. So you can access the lesson you need, when you need it. These skill lessons take about 30 minutes to complete. They include speaking and writing skills practice - all online.

Realistic and relevant business communication skills are learned in the context of relevant situations and then reinforced through repetitive exercise.

First, you are exposed to target language in an online scene that immerses you in a realistic business scenario. Then, you practice target language in online, interactive exercises. You can download key dialogues to practice on any mp3 compatible device.
