Professionals who are not so proficient in English are quite inquisitive about ways and means to improve their language proficiency level. It needs to be understood that all efforts at improving English proficiency should be based on good understanding of the professional's language learning process.
Two things need to be understood by all professionals. For a professional where English language learning is focused on enhancing workplace English (SLRW - speaking, listening, reading and writing) the crucial interlinkages between each skill needs to be comprehended - If you want to improve your speaking, you need to focus on listening, and if you want to improve your writing, you need to focus on reading.
