Dominar el inglés de negocios a nivel avanzado es una habilidad que distingue a los profesionales que lideran equipos, presentan productos y construyen redes de contacto efectivas. Este curso, impartido por la Dr. Eileen Hale, especialista en educación internacional con experiencia en enseñanza bilingüe, establece las bases para comunicarse con confianza en entornos corporativos exigentes.
¿Quién es la instructora y qué experiencia respalda el curso?
La Dr. Eileen Hale creció en el San Francisco Bay Area de California, enseñó en el departamento de bilingual education de Boise State University en Idaho y actualmente reside en Jacksonville Beach, Florida [0:22]. Su formación incluye un master's y un doctorate degree en international education, además de haber estudiado francés desde niña y completado un programa de inmersión en la Universidad Católica de Quito, Ecuador [1:05]. Fue precisamente en Quito donde comenzó su carrera enseñando English as a second language (ESL), lo que le brindó una perspectiva intercultural sólida.
Este trasfondo es relevante porque el curso no se limita a vocabulario: integra sensibilidad cultural y experiencia docente real en contextos bilingües.
¿Qué temas cubre el curso de Advanced Business English?
El programa se organiza en cinco módulos centrados en managerial roles [1:28], es decir, las funciones que un gerente desempeña día a día en inglés profesional:
Cada módulo aborda situaciones reales donde el dominio del inglés marca la diferencia entre un líder que inspira y uno que simplemente da instrucciones.
¿Por qué importan los managerial roles en inglés avanzado?
En un entorno globalizado, los gerentes necesitan más que gramática correcta. Necesitan persuadir, motivar y negociar en inglés con naturalidad. El concepto de managerial roles agrupa todas las responsabilidades comunicativas de un líder: desde dar retroalimentación constructiva hasta presentar resultados ante una audiencia exigente.
¿Qué es el constructive feedback y cómo se practica?
El constructive feedback es la capacidad de ofrecer comentarios que corrijan sin desmotivar. En el módulo de leadership, se trabaja cómo estructurar estas conversaciones en inglés para que el mensaje sea directo, respetuoso y orientado a la mejora continua.
¿Cómo funciona la herramienta KWL en este curso?
Antes de comenzar, se solicita completar un KWL chart [2:32], una herramienta de evaluación de conocimiento previo con tres columnas:
Este recurso permite personalizar el aprendizaje y medir el progreso de forma tangible. Se descarga desde los recursos adicionales y las dos primeras columnas se comparten en los comentarios como primer ejercicio del curso.
Si ya completaste los cursos básico e intermedio, comparte en los comentarios qué habilidad de las cinco te interesa más desarrollar y qué experiencia previa tienes liderando equipos en inglés.

I know how to present to others, and communicate with people in a polite form. However, I want to learn how to communicate some ideas correctly when others are wrong, or how to lead people which can be problematic at work.
