Business English is not just about what you say; it is about how you say it. Unlike general English, Business English focuses on the language used in professional settings. It goes beyond basic vocabulary and grammar to include:
formal writing for workplace communication (e.g. reports, emails)
clear speaking and active listening for meetings
persuasive language for presentations and negotiations
awareness of how communication styles vary across cultures (e.g., directness, formality, politeness)
the ability to recognise and resolve language-based misunderstandings
In pharma, biotech and other life science industries, where the stakes are high and teams are global, Business English becomes even more complex. It demands not only fluency but also scientific accuracy, clarity and flexibility.
You need to be able to:
use highly specific vocabulary and acronyms correctly and pronounce them with confidence
read and interpret complex legal and regulatory documents (like FDA guidelines, EU MDR, or ICH frameworks) and communicate clearly within those frameworks
present scientific data and research findings to a range of audiences (clinicians, investors, regulators and the general public) by simplifying complex information without losing precision
adjust your language depending on the audience: technical for colleagues, plain for patients and compliant for regulators
communicate with empathy, respect and professionalism, especially when discussing sensitive research outcomes or speaking with patients.
As someone with a degree in pharmaceutical sciences and real-world experience in the field, I understand the communication challenges you face.
