BUSINESS ENGLISH
(166 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Business English
Business English focuses on using the English language in professional, corporate, and global communication. It helps learners communicate effectively in workplaces, meetings, negotiations, and emails. Unlike general English, Business English includes specialized vocabulary, formal expressions, and professional etiquette.
Students learning Business English develop the ability to write clear reports, participate in meetings, deliver presentations, and build international relationships. It is a key skill for anyone who wants to work in global companies or interact with colleagues and clients from different countries.
Business English also covers cultural awareness — understanding how people communicate in different parts of the world. In modern workplaces, professionals use English as a common business language, known as a lingua franca, to cooperate with teams from diverse backgrounds.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game can be used even at the advanced level to reinforce professional vocabulary in a dynamic way. The teacher says “Business English!” and participants take turns saying a relevant word: “client,” “revenue,” “presentation,” “contract,” etc. The person who hesitates or repeats a word says “Boom!” and is out of the round.
For advanced learners, this game helps to:
Strengthen spontaneous speaking skills under pressure.
Improve vocabulary recall and pronunciation accuracy.
Encourage creative thinking and teamwork.
Reduce anxiety when speaking English in a professional setting.
Teachers can adapt the game by asking learners to use each word in a business sentence, such as “Our company signed a new contract,” or “The deadline is next Friday.”
