Meinhardt’s Challenges
Meinhardt (Thailand)’s staff of experts consult on many types of engineering projects for SME and multi-national corporations throughout Southeast Asia, so improving their English business communications has become a priority. They needed a course to support employees’ engineering vocabulary, as well as boost their confidence to “speak out” in English. This is the foundation of Anglokom’s communicative English for Special Purposes curriculum.
