English Language Training and Assessment

 

Global professionals with advanced English skills may still face language and intercultural obstacles at work. Targeted English language training, from accent reduction to grammatical correction, aligned to the vocabulary and tone of your company, can empower non-native English speakers to communicate more confidently and effectively.

Training topics may include reducing pronunciation problems, speaking up at meetings, negotiating, communicating with non-expert audiences, participating in small talk, and upskilling for managerial roles.

Faculty and Tutor Training for Writing Centers and Programs

 

Multilingual and multidialectical writers need specific support from the faculty, teaching assistants, and tutors who teach them writing. Targeted training, from pedagogical grammar to corrective feedback techniques in assisting multilingual students, can empower faculty to work more confidently and effectively with them.

Training topics may include assessing writing, correcting ESL errors, giving culturally sensitive feedback, recognizing culturally-inflected discourse styles, using Global English, writing inclusive syllabi, and facilitating academic integrity.

Intercultural Management Training

Communication is a two-way street. Intercultural communication training reveals our own culturally-inflected behaviors and how they differ in surprising ways from those of other cultures. Such training propels managers to get the best from their internationally-trained team members and themselves, reducing misunderstandings, increasing proactivity, and boosting efficiency.

Training topics may include increasing participation at meetings, setting expectations with global teams, reducing conflict, giving constructive feedback, listening interculturally, and facilitating effective meetings.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consulting

 

Language is an aspect of diversity, equity, and inclusion that is often absent from even those companies and industries trying to promote these values. Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in corporations should seek to address the needs of international employees and employees with diverse language backgrounds. TASMY Consulting can provide training that fosters inclusion and values diversity, focusing on language backgrounds and intercultural communication.

Training topics may include recognizing and reducing language bias, strategies for incorporating language diversity, using Global English, creating linguistically open companies, giving culturally-sensitive feedback, promoting language equity and inclusion in the workplace, communicating with international audiences, D & I upskilling for managerial roles.
