1-on-1 Professional Communication Coaching · Working Adults · Taipei
Professional Communication, that lands.
Premium 1-on-1 Professional Communication coaching for working adults in Taipei. Email and document writing, spoken English for meetings and calls, and presentations, built around the work you do.
What You Build
The communication that working life rewards.
Professional Communication builds the spoken and written English that working life rewards. Email and document writing in the registers professional contexts require. Spoken English for meetings, calls, and briefings. Structured presentation skills for moments when you have the room. And the underlying vocabulary, register, and concision that distinguish professional discourse from general English.
The work covers four broad areas: writing (emails, reports, status updates, internal memos, client communications), spoken communication (meetings, calls, video conferences, presentations), professional listening (catching what was meant, not just what was said), and the register calibration that lets you shift between formal documents and casual hallway exchanges without friction.
Coverage is the same range as a generic Business English program. The difference is that the material is yours: your real emails, your upcoming presentations, your meeting agendas, your client briefings.
How We Teach It
Designed around adult schedules, not generic ESL.
Harland's adult pedagogy is built around the schedules and professional contexts of working life. We do not teach English as a generic skill to be drilled; we teach it through the documents and situations the student is producing at work. The work develops because it is required by the role, not because it is practiced in isolation.
For working adults, this means lessons that work directly with your professional material. A finance professional drafting a quarterly update develops technical register, concision, and structural argument through that update. An engineering manager preparing for a cross-functional briefing develops spoken English structure, audience calibration, and recovery moves through that briefing. A client-facing executive working on a key relationship develops the email register and conversational patterns that build trust with international counterparts.
The format is 1-on-1, which lets us calibrate exactly to your level, pace, and professional context. Working adults who arrive with strong written English but spoken hesitation can focus on spoken fluency; adults strong in speaking but rough in formal writing can focus on register. The diagnostic happens in the consultation and assessment session; the lesson plan follows.
Curriculum and Approach
Curriculum built around your professional context.
Professional Communication does not work through a standardized syllabus. Each engagement begins with a diagnostic of your current work: the documents you produce, the calls and meetings on your week, the deliverables your role requires. From there, your faculty member designs a lesson plan that covers the program's four core areas (writing, spoken communication, listening, register) while working directly with your material.
Prerequisites and What Comes Next
Where Professional Communication fits in your work.
Before starting
Professional Communication assumes intermediate or higher spoken and written English. You can read English documents at work, hold a meeting in English even if you sometimes search for words, and produce written communication that gets understood. If you are earlier than that, our Conversation Confidence program is a better starting point for spoken fluency development, often run in parallel with Professional Communication once foundations are in place.
What comes after
Most adult learners stay in Professional Communication for as long as their working communication is developing, often 6 to 12 months or longer. Some shift focus to Conversation Confidence if spoken fluency becomes the priority. Anyone preparing for a specific high-stakes situation (negotiation, board presentation, investor communication, international keynote) progresses to Executive Coaching, which is project-scoped around the situation rather than developmental.
