I am an English as a Foreign Language instructor who is teaching college-level Korean students who are interested in business English. We are learning how to express: happiness (at something), sadness (at something), disappointment (at something or someone), and confidence (about someone or something). I want to teach valid and highly used forms of functional language that is specific to this context. I have never worked in International Business and feel unprepared to teach them the specific kinds of “typical language/lingo.” If you have experience in this field, could you give me some examples. For example, if you are talking about a business proposal, does it sound realistic to say, “I am very happy about the proposal.” Or, does it sound stilted and unrealistic. Obviously, I want phrases that are as realistic as possible to teach them so they can succeed in their choosen field.
