Corporate Language Training Built Around Your Workplace

Your employees need language skills they can use on the job—not generic lessons that ignore their workday. Workplace Languages designs corporate language training around your industry, employees, schedules and communication goals.

How should you choose corporate language training?

Corporate language training develops the communication employees need at work. Workplace Languages offers onsite classes, live online programs, and individual coaching, with content planned around the people, situations, and language goals involved.

We offer onsite language classes for companies across the United States and live online instruction for teams worldwide. Programs can focus on workplace English (ESL), Spanish, French, Portuguese and other languages as needed. Classes can be scheduled around shifts, operational demands and employee availability.

Our process begins by understanding how your team communicates at work. We use supervisor and participant input to shape lessons around job-specific vocabulary, realistic conversations, safety communication, customer interactions and daily tasks.

Whether your goal is clearer supervisor-employee communication, stronger customer service or more confident multilingual collaboration, we help build a program that fits your organization.

Compare programs against the work employees need to do

  • Identify the conversations that need to improve: explaining a task, asking a follow-up question, serving a customer, or leading a meeting.
  • Group learners by starting ability and useful practice goals. Discuss assessment when a proficiency baseline would help placement.
  • Choose a format employees can attend consistently across shifts and locations, with a suitable room or reliable online setup.
  • Agree on observable progress before launch, then review workplace examples and assessment results alongside attendance.

Share the languages, roles, locations, and recurring communication challenges when requesting a proposal. Review existing client feedback and the ROI guidance to frame a practical evaluation.

The Workplace Languages’ Difference

Training built for workplace ROI

Our process turns company-specific language challenges into practical instruction, customized materials, progress reporting, and ongoing support from a dedicated training team.

Qualified Instruction

Corporate language classes are led by experienced instructors with advanced target-language expertise and a practical workplace focus.

  • All WPL instructors have at least an MA in the target language.
  • The instructor meets with the company contact before launch.
  • Site visits or virtual discovery help connect class content to real workplace language needs.

Needs Assessment & Placement

Each program starts with discovery so training reflects the company, the learners, and the communication problems that need to improve.

  • Participant needs assessments identify individual and company language priorities.
  • Online proficiency assessments can support placement and pre/post progress measurement.
  • Learner levels, roles, schedules, and business goals shape the rollout plan.

Customized Curriculum

Lessons are built around the client's industry, company, job functions, and practical communication moments.

  • Programs are customized for 8- or 10-week online or in-person delivery.
  • Materials draw from needs assessments, site visit notes, job descriptions, and company documentation.
  • Lesson plans include learning objectives, teacher instructions, and interactive speaking assignments.

Coordination & ROI Tracking

Clients get ongoing support, visibility, and progress documentation throughout the course.

  • A dedicated Language Training Coordinator supports the client, instructor, and course updates.
  • Attendance is tracked, with mid-term and final participant progress reports.
  • Online classes are recorded, and optional 1:1 coaching or tutoring can be added.
