כשמדובר בלמידת אנגלית בארגונים, חשוב קודם כל שהארגון ייצור סביבה בטוחה שבה אנשים מרגישים שהם לא צריכים להתבייש ברצון לעבוד על האנגלית שלהם. אנשים לא יבקשו מהמנהלים שלהם כל כך מהר לתת להם הכשרות באנגלית, במיוחד בהיי טק, ששם אנגלית ברמה מאד גבוהה זאת דרישת קבלה. זה כרוך בהרבה בושה.
Communicating well isn’t just about choosing the right words.
Not that words aren’t important, they are. But they’re just one part of what makes a “good” conversation. And I’m not talking about body language here. I’m talking about language.

To get them thinking. To interact with them.
This can be done with very little effort…

Avoiding situations that frighten us is the most natural thing in the world. For many people, speaking up in English triggers an immediate ‘fight or flight’ response, the same physiological reaction that happens when we’re running from a lion.
Your brain is a much more elastic learning machine than you might give it credit for. Many people explain to me that, sadly, since they didn’t learn to speak English fluently when they were kids, it’s now too hard for them to do, as adults.

According to the bestselling author and keynote speaker, Michael Bungay Stanier,
