Language Coaching Just Became Professional – The Story Of Shell Engineers To Siberia

Language coaching just became professional - The story of Shell engineers to Siberia



 



We all know how language coaching used to work. Practise with a friend? Perhaps find a ‘teacher'- maybe a gap year student travelling the world? Or  someone with little experience looking for some extra spare time cash. Based on the teacher, not the client.



This has now changed. Online language coaching allows for incredible progress in the quality of language coaching.



The story of Shell engineers to Siberia



Take a Russian engineering company looking for language coaching for its team. They need to speak English to communicate with their International partners. Historically they would have had to put up with a non-native speaker, perhaps someone who had visited an English-speaking country or maybe expensive short-term workers more interested in a holiday than teaching. Most likely none had anything to do with engineering, but they could teach general conversation.



But what exactly does the company need? If they could wave a magic wand, they would import a U.S. or U.K. native-speaker, with engineering experience and understanding of technical projects and language. Perhaps even with experience working for a professional multinational energy-business like Shell.



Perhaps hopefully a coach with a Texan accent, since most visitors are from Texas. Oh and add in practise at writing technical reports. Oh and could they speak a little Russian to help on technical words the team don't know? Finally, can the class please happen at 5a.m. local time before the team enter the plant and on Sunday evenings for managers?



Just one more thing. We would like the coach to also be able to teach when the team are at an exhibition in Moscow and when they visit the sister site outside Beijing, China. And did I mention we are a global company? Can we have the same curriculum prepared for all our teams?



A leading online language coaching company is the best solution. They could provide a Texan coach with experience working as an engineer in a multinational. Conveniently, 5am is during the day in Texas.
