  LONDON, Oct 08 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
GlobalExchanges EMEA -- GlobalEnglish Corporation
(www.GlobalEnglish.com), the leading provider of on-demand assessment,
learning, and support for business English communication, today announced
the addition of GlobalEnglish Personal Coaching(TM) at GlobalExchanges
EMEA in London. Personal Coaching includes 1-on-1 sessions via phone or
Skype to accelerate global employees' development of business English
skills. With this new offering, GlobalEnglish combines the benefits of
its world-class, online learning service with live, native English
coaches for faster, more targeted results.

    "GlobalEnglish Personal Coaching superbly complements our core online
offering, the GlobalEnglish Corporate Learning Service," said Mahesh Ram,
Vice President of Worldwide Business Development. "Our core service
provides a robust curriculum of interactive coursework for comprehensive
development of English skills via self-study. But in certain instances,
having live 1-on-1 access to a world-class coach can help speed up
progress and help learners achieve specific English language goals. With
this premium addition to our service along with the earlier release of our
enterprise assessment service, BELITPlus, GlobalEnglish offers global
companies a complete solution for the English development needs of their
global workforce. We now offer the most cost-effective, scalable, and
comprehensive suite of products on the market for Global 2000 companies to
achieve maximum workforce productivity on the market."

    GlobalEnglish Personal Coaching sessions are conducted by certified native
English speakers with extensive backgrounds in both business and teaching.
GlobalEnglish personal coaches are located around the globe to accommodate
regional time zones and offer flexible, convenient scheduling for
learners. Each Personal Coaching session is individually tailored to a
learner's needs and skill level allowing them to rapidly advance in any
chosen area. Learners are paired with the same coach for the duration of
the coaching program to assure consistency and a sustainable 1-on-1
working relationship that meets targeted goals.

    Coaches provide guidance, instruction, and support, and also make
recommendations on features and courses in the GlobalEnglish Corporate
Learning Service(TM) that will further assist learners with their
individualized learning needs.

    In partnership with ISUS (ispeakuspeak), a leading provider of
teacher-student collaboration solutions, GlobalEnglish Personal Coaching
offers an innovative web-based platform from which learners can manage all
aspects of the coaching sessions including scheduling, completing
preparation and follow-up activities, and providing feedback. The ISUS
automated time zone management also guarantees the convenience of anytime,
anyplace learning capabilities.

    Personal Coaching is positioned to help solve one of the most important
problems international businesses face -- having employees comfortably
converse, present, and understand spoken business English. Company surveys
of global workforces show over 70% of employees cite difficulty in
conducting telephone calls in English, the official language of
international business. Attending and conducting meetings in English are a
challenge for 64% of employees. The same survey shows 86% of employees
using the GlobalEnglish online service can verbally respond to questions
and requests more effectively and 92% of users are immediately able to use
their new skills on the job.

    GlobalEnglish Personal Coaching enables global companies to target
promising key employees for advanced personalized training that assures
they reach a command of business English communication skills that will
progress their career more rapidly.

    "GlobalEnglish Personal Coaching is ideal for global executives, senior
managers, and high potentials that need intensive practice to advance
specific business English communication skills," said Ram.
