Abstract

  Teaching Business English extends beyond mastering vocabulary and grammar; it equips learners with the skills to communicate effectively in professional environments. In business world, soft skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and negotiation are equally important as linguistic proficiency. This article examines effective methodologies for integrating soft skills into Business English teaching by reviewing relevant literature and case studies published between 2019 and 2024. The findings highlight the urgency of incorporating soft skills into the curriculum to enhance learners’ ability to navigate real-world business contexts. Several practical methodologies, such as project-based learning, role-playing, and case study analysis, are recommended to support this integration. This discussion provides valuable insights for curriculum designers, educators, and learners, helping them optimize their roles in fostering comprehensive Business English education.
