Write Like a Future Executive: Academic English Level 4 for International Students in Business

In business, communication isn’t just an advantage — it’s a requirement. Whether you're pitching an idea, drafting a report, or preparing for university, how you express yourself in writing can shape how others see your credibility, professionalism, and leadership potential. For international students studying English as a Second Language (ESL), developing strong academic business writing skills is one of the smartest investments you can make.

That’s why the Academic English Level 4 – Business course was created. This Academic English course is designed for Grade 11 and 12 ESL learners who are preparing for top university programs like Rotman Commerce, Ivey AEO, and Schulich BBA — or simply want to become more confident, persuasive, and professional writers.

Why Academic Writing in Business Is Different

Business writing isn’t like writing essays for English class. In business, the goal is clear communication that leads to action. That means your writing needs to be:

• Concise – say more with fewer words
• Structured – use clear formatting, bullet points, and logical flow
• Purposeful – focus on recommendations, decisions, or results
• Professional in tone – polite, assertive, and free of casual language

From formal emails to proposals and reports, the ability to write well is essential for everything from classroom success to real-world careers.

Common Writing Challenges Faced by ESL Students

International students often come into business classes with strong ideas and creativity — but they struggle to express them in formal English. Some common challenges include:

• Using an overly informal tone – saying “I think maybe we should…” instead of “It is recommended that…”
• Difficulty organizing ideas – especially in case studies or long reports where headings and clear sections are expected
• Limited vocabulary – lacking the specific words used in finance, marketing, operations, or management contexts
• Grammar and syntax – errors in verb tense, article use, or sentence flow can distract from the message
• Unfamiliarity with formatting – not knowing how to present data visually or structure reports using professional layouts

These challenges can hold students back from top grades and competitive university applications. But with the right instruction, they can be overcome — and even turned into strengths.

What You’ll Learn in Academic English Level 4 – Business Track

The Business Track of Academic English Level 4 focuses on writing tasks that reflect real academic and corporate expectations. In this course, students will:

• Practice formal email, memo and essays writing, learning how to communicate professionally in team and client settings
• Learn to draft business reports, including problem-solution structures, SWOT analyses, and executive summaries
• Work on persuasive proposals, pitching ideas with clear arguments and supporting evidence
• Develop analytical writing skills by evaluating case studies, drawing conclusions, and recommending solutions
• Understand data presentation, including how to describe trends, explain charts, and support decisions with facts
• Expand their business vocabulary, mastering key terms used in commerce, entrepreneurship, and economics

Each lesson combines reading, writing, vocabulary, and discussion to reinforce concepts. Students are assessed on clarity, tone, grammar, and their ability to meet business objectives in writing.

Real-World Benefits and Academic Applications

The writing skills taught in this course have immediate benefits in high school — particularly in business-focused subjects like:

• Business Leadership
• International Business
• Economics
• AP Micro/Macro
• IB Business Management

Beyond school, these writing skills are invaluable in:

• University applications – where written supplementary applications, essays, personal statement and even video scripts are required
• Co-op or internship programs – where you may be expected to submit weekly reports or project summaries
• Competitive business clubs – such as DECA, Model UN, or school business plan competitions
• Future careers – since almost every professional role involves writing emails, proposals, or presentations

If you want to study business, build a startup, or lead a team, your writing must be just as sharp as your business idea.
