Must see for new professionals in the workplace: Singapore English classes are highly compatible
Just joined a Singapore international company, but remained silent throughout the English conference; Received an email from a foreign colleague and searched the dictionary until late at night; After finally mustering up the courage to speak, I found myself in an awkward situation due to my awkward expression - the English dilemma faced by new professionals in the workplace can be accurately solved by Singapore's English curriculum.
IWorld Learning has been deeply involved in Singapore's English curriculum for 18 years, tailored specifically for newcomers, turning English from a "barrier to entry" into a "bonus tool".
1、 Newcomer English Pain: It's not that I don't know how to use it, it's just that I'm not using it correctly
IWorld Learning has contacted thousands of newcomers in the Singaporean workplace and found that their core challenge is not "zero foundation", but "disconnection between campus English and the workplace": mastering basic grammar and vocabulary, but not understanding the "logical opening remarks of conference speeches"; Being able to engage in daily conversations, but stuck in 'professional terminology for project reporting'; Can write simple sentences, but cannot grasp the scale of honorific language in workplace emails.
The "common sentence patterns" imparted to newcomers in regular English classes often do not adapt to the actual workplace environment in Singapore. The core value of Singapore's English curriculum is to deliver workplace English that is "usable, easy to use, and professional" directly to newcomers.
2、 Singapore English Curriculum: 3 Core Advantages for Newcomers
（1）Exclusive Scene for Newcomers: Everything learned is "about to be used"
The iWorld Learning course completely abandons "general discussions" and focuses on high-frequency workplace scenario design modules for newcomers. Each lesson corresponds to real work needs:
Introduction to the Conference Module: Teach "Ice Breaking Self Introduction", "Polite Expressions for Requesting Repetition", and "Abbreviation Techniques for Recording Key Information" to help newcomers transition from "bowing their heads and swiping water" to "effective participation";
Email writing module: Provide essential templates for new employees such as "onboarding greetings", "requests for assistance", "progress reports", etc., marking the tone differences between "to leaders" and "to peers" to avoid being "too rigid" or "too humble";
Emergency communication module: Simulate unexpected situations such as "how to apologize for erroneous data" and "how to respond to temporarily assigned tasks", and provide a "clear and appropriate" English expression plan.
More thoughtfully, iWorld Learning provides an additional "industry terminology package" for emerging industries such as logistics, foreign trade, and technology. For example, corresponding expressions such as "letter of credit (L/C)" and "customs declaration" that foreign trade newcomers must learn can be used in their work the next day.
（2）Low pressure small class: Newcomers who dare to speak up will make progress
Newcomers are afraid to speak up, and the root cause is' afraid of making mistakes and being labeled '. The Singapore English curriculum adheres to a small class system of 3-10 students, ensuring that each newcomer has at least 15 minutes of speaking time in each class.
Foreign teachers have undergone training on "psychological adaptation for newcomers", never saying "you're wrong", but guiding them to express themselves in a way that is more suitable for the workplace.
Role playing in the classroom is also a "desensitization training" for newcomers: two people in pairs simulate "asking for help from leaders" and "asking colleagues questions", with foreign teachers providing real-time guidance - for example, optimizing the commonly used "I don't know" for newcomers to "Let me check and get back to you", which is both honest and professional. The classmates at iWorld Learning are all newcomers of the same age, with similar levels and pain points. The atmosphere of mutual encouragement makes speaking easier.
（3）Dual teacher+flexibility: balancing "authenticity" and "convenience"
The course adopts a combination of "native language foreign teachers+bilingual foreign teachers" for joint teaching, perfectly matching the needs of newcomers: native language foreign teachers come from England, America, and Canada, responsible for correcting pronunciation, training intonation, and making the English spoken by newcomers "authentic and not stiff"; Bilingual foreign teachers are familiar with Singapore's workplace culture, breaking down "grammar difficulties" and "cultural taboos", such as "Singapore workplace does not use Mr./Ms. to address colleagues, it is more natural to directly call them by their English names".
In response to the characteristics of newcomers who work overtime and have fragmented time, iWorld Learning Singapore English course has designed a diversified learning plan: evening online classes, weekend centralized classes, and online live classes to choose from.
Temporary overtime can be adjusted for free, and students can also watch recorded reviews. The accompanying app breaks down the course content into 10 minute short videos, allowing new students to use "terminology shorthand" during commuting and "email sentence structure check-in" during lunch breaks, without having to rush into time.
3、 Newcomer Case: From "Silent" to "Proactive Speaking" in 3 Months
In the first week of joining a foreign trade company, I was too afraid to speak during the English conference. After enrolling in the Singapore English course, I was able to proactively report on the progress of the samples in English in the second month. Last week, I even helped the team connect with a Malaysian client, and the leader said that my progress was' twice as fast as that of new employees in the same period '. - Li (3 months of course study)
Previously, it took half an hour to look up a dictionary when writing English emails, but now it can be completed in 10 minutes. Last week, when I sent an email to a local client in Singapore, they replied 'Your email is clear and efficient'. This feeling of being recognized is too reassuring. ”- Mr. Wang (1 and a half months of course study)
