ESLhome English for Remote Work Communication
ESLhome English for Remote Work Communication explains how English changes from one remote channel to the next and what each asks of the writer or the speaker. ESLhome, a site of English lessons and learning paths, works through email, chat, video meetings and shared project tools, then covers writing updates, speaking in virtual meetings, cross-cultural communication in distributed teams and building a learning plan.
100% Free (unlimited): The whole guide is open on the page, every section and the questions at the end included, with no account, no registration and no payment. The site's other lessons and learning paths open the same way from the menu above it.
How It Helps Your Business English
The guide sets out what each channel is for: email for decisions and anything that needs a record, chat for quick questions and coordination, video calls for turn-taking and listening, and project tools where the writing becomes the team's record. Sections follow on writing emails, chats and updates, speaking in virtual meetings, cross-cultural communication and a learning plan.
Start with the channel that gives you the most trouble and read that section alone. The rule to carry away is to match the message to the medium: ask whether what you are writing needs an answer in a minute or a record in six months, and choose on that. Use the learning plan section to turn the rest into a few weeks of practice rather than one long read.
