"Join us online on Sunday, 14 October, at 2pm UTC (3pm BST) for a webinar titled, “English for Specific Purposes – Teaching English for Human Resources”. 

In our increasingly interconnected and globalising world, human resources professionals often need more English for their jobs. In this online workshop, Pete Rutherford will share teaching ideas and a few personal, hopefully pertinent, anecdotes from his time as an English for HR trainer.

In the second half of the webinar, Pete and the BESIG Online Team will moderate a swap shop where participants can share and discuss the changing HR landscape, teaching tips, best practice, classroom experiences, and materials.

If you would like to contact Pete before the webinar (particularly if you’re interested in contributing to the swap shop component), please email him at pete.rutherford@besig.org.

Pete Rutherford has been teaching business English in Europe, primarily Germany, for the last 10 years. Before this he worked in human resources in South Africa. Pete was one of two advisors to Cornelsen for their most recent update to the short course book, “English for Human Resources”
