While ProActive English often helps teams who have a common first language - like at our recent New Arrival Training with six Japanese chemists starting a multi-year rotation in Hillsboro, Oregon - we also work regularly with multicultural teams of non-native speakers representing multiple first languages.  In fact, in Japan a few years ago, ProActive English led a 75-hour training (15 hours onsite and 60 hours remote individual coaching) with a team of ten that included five Russian speakers of English, along with employees from Poland, Spain, Norway, Singapore and Taiwan!

Because multilingual, multicultural teams are working together, they face common communication situations as non-native English speakers that demand the same clear, succinct, authentic and strategic communication in English, including: remote and live meetings with internal and external clients, presentations for small and large groups, producing written documents for e-mail, strategic or product summaries, performance reviews or technical writing.

We address these situations by focusing on common communication situations including: sharing basic and complex information, asking and answering questions, describing and comparing products, process and choices, making decisions and reflecting on experience. The most frequent outcome of our training is increasingly confident communicators who find their voice and engage more effectively. 

We use the individual coaching sessions to address individual needs related to the participants' native language.
