Business English Speakers Can Still Be Divided by a Common Language
I’m Alex Villarreal with the VOA Special English Economics Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish\r
\r
Business is the most popular subject for international students in the United States. At last count, twentyone percent of foreign students at American colleges and universities were studying business and management. The Institute of International Education in New York says engineering is the second most popular field, in case you were wondering.Thomas Cosse is a professor of marketing and business at the University of Richmond in Virginia. He says international students who want to study business need to have good English skills and not just to study at his school.But the world has more nonnative speakers of English than native speakers. As a result, Americans working with foreign companies may need to learn some new English skills themselves. At the University of Richmond, teams of graduate students work with companies seeking to enter the American market. The students learn about writing market entry studies. The reports are written in English. But Professor Cosse tells his students to consider who will read them.He said his students have to write the report so that it can be understood by someone who is an English speaker but not a native English speaker. For example, he tells his students to avoid jargon and other specialized terms that people might not know in their own language. This can be good advice even when writing for other native speakers. But effective communication involves more than just words. Kay Westerfield is director of the international business communication program at the University of Oregon. She says you must have the language skills as well as cultural intelligence. Cultural intelligence means the need to consider local behaviors in everything from simple handshakes to speaking to large groups. Still, Kay Westerfield says the ability of foreign workers to speak English is becoming more important to companies looking to move operations to other countries. Or, as she puts it, to \”offsource.\” Also, she says English skills often provide a competitive edge for business students when they seek jobs. She said: \”As one business student in West Africa put it, ‘English is a lifeline.’\”For VOA Special English I’m Alex Villarreal.

Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous – English grammar tutorial video lesson
Present perfect and present perfect continuous/ progressive video tutorial. This tutorial is about the present perfect
and the present perfect continuous. In this tutorial
I’m going to show you how to form and when to use a present perfect and how to form and when to use a present perfect continuous.
Take a look at these sentences:
I have worked since 5 o’clock in the morning.
I have been working since 5 o’clock in the morning.
The first sentence is in the present perfect tense,
the second sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense. First we are going to take a look at how to form a present perfect. For the regular verb to have and a past participle. A past participle can be made by adding ed to the base form of the verb.
For example:
I have walked the dog.
For the irregular verbs we also use the auxiliary verb to have and a past participle but here the past participle has its own unique form.
She has driven my car.
The infinitive form of the verb is ‘to drive.’
A present perfect continuous is made by have and been which is the past participle form of the verb ‘to be.’
We use the base from of the verb and we add ‘ing.’
For example I have been walking the dog, and she has been driving my car. Please note that we do not need to pay attention to the regular and irregular verbs. Now let’s have a look at the difference between the two. A present perfect is used for a thing, which can either be an activity or a state
which started in the past and has continued into the present. For example:
I have broken my leg and I have talked to him.
The present perfect continuous is used for an activity that started in the past and has continued into the future.
For example:
I have been talking to him.
We cannot say:
I have been breaking my leg.
We also use the present perfect continuous when talking about things that are annoying.
He has been shouting at me for over half an hour.
