In the contract that I presently have with a law firm, there is a clause stating that I have to keep confidential any information I pick up about the firm's business.

I like teaching business English too. Recently I teach less and less of it, though it does crop up at my Berlitz job as well as in a few general English uni classes that I teach. Any content class, business included, is generally more interesting than just teaching a straight English class.


I will be teaching an intermediate business class this spring and plan to use 'Business Objectives' as I have used this book (fairly familar with it) and find it fairly good for my target level (low intermediate to intermediate). My background is originally in marketing and my undergraduate work was in Business Management, so I usually have plenty to talk with students about. I even brought in my Capitalism game to show a student and talk about financial documents (damn, that is still missing, my game that is ).　Ｃａｐｉｔａｌｉｓｍ　ｉｓ　ｕｓｅｄ　ｉｎ　ｓｏｍｅ　ＭＢＡ　 ｐｒｏｇｒａｍｓ　ａｓ　ａ　ｓｉｍｕｌａｔｉｏｎ　ｐｒｏｇｒａｍ　to discuss marketing and sales strategies．

I taught for Roche Pharma and Standard Chartered Bank in Taiwan. Usually what we did there was white out company or client names before photocopying for the class. We usually did the writing as group process.

Teaching for the Korea Foreign Trade Association (about 14 years ago) they didn't care at all about confidentiality.
