Ahead of Year-End Reviews, TutorABC Launches Critical Thinking English Course With Up to 24 Free One to One Lessons

【Taipei, November 13】From November, companies across Taiwan begin annual performance reviews and compensation planning. According to a survey by 104 Job Bank, 63.9% of companies expected to raise salaries in 2026, with an average increase of 4.5%, and individual performance was the main basis for raises. Year-end review meetings will play a decisive role in next year’s pay and promotions.

The higher people rise, the less their work is about reporting progress and the more it is about persuading others: putting forward a position in meetings, asking senior managers for resources and negotiating trade offs with international teams. Many professionals already speak fluent English yet carry little weight in these settings. They have the facts but lack an argument, and struggle when asked a follow up question. Performance in these moments is also an important reference when managers assess candidates for promotion.

To help professionals strengthen their business reasoning, TutorABC has launched its Critical Thinking English Course. Using topics from CNN and The Economist, certified foreign instructors coach learners one to one in more than 20 expression techniques. Purchases now receive up to 8 percent off and up to 24 complimentary one to one lessons with foreign instructors.

Fluent in English but Not Moving Up: Three Blind Spots in Workplace Communication

The TutorABC teaching and research team has compiled the questions professionals raise most often before reviews and promotions and identified three blind spots:

• Speech lags behind thinking, and the moment to stand out is missed: English reasoning cannot keep pace with thinking in Chinese, so speakers fall behind the flow of meetings and miss the right moment to speak. Over time they are easily seen as people who only execute.
• Grammar and vocabulary are correct, yet nobody is persuaded: Speakers can produce correct sentences but simply list facts one by one, without a strategic argument or a solution. Proposals leave no impression, and managers end up adopting someone else’s plan.
• Thinking in Chinese first, then losing confidence when questioned: Every sentence is translated in the head first, so follow up questions or objections cause a stall. Performance reviews, promotion interviews and one to one meetings with overseas managers all become situations where points are lost.

TutorABC Critical Thinking English Course: Four Core Elements for Persuasive Workplace Communication

The TutorABC Critical Thinking English Course uses real issues from CNN and The Economist as teaching material, with internationally certified foreign instructors teaching one to one to tackle each blind spot:

• Think like a senior executive at a global company and express your own view in English: Typical business English courses focus on common business phrases, but memorizing sentences does not mean being able to state a clear view. Each lesson starts from a real CNN or Economist topic, from AI trends and fast fashion strategy to global business issues, guiding learners to analyze causes, weigh trade offs and take a position like a senior executive, so they can express their views in English with confidence and carry weight at work.
• More than 20 expression techniques in six months, useful for reports and proposals: Each lesson teaches one expression technique that is applied immediately, adding up to more than 20 within six months. When reporting to a manager, lead with the conclusion, then add the reasons and next steps. When making a proposal, support the view with causes and concrete examples. When discussing market trends, back up forecasts with specific evidence. Learners know how to organize content and make the key point clear in different situations.
• Role play and short debates to rehearse reviews and promotion conversations: More than half of each 45 minute lesson is spent with the learner speaking, and every lesson ends with a role play or short debate. Instructors play a manager, an HR partner or an overseas colleague in scenarios such as arguing for a team’s pay raise or defending a brand strategy, questioning and challenging the learner’s points so they practise handling follow up questions before the real meeting.
• Personalized feedback from certified instructors and monthly progress tracking: All instructors hold international teaching certification and at least three years of teaching experience, and receive regular training under the Cambridge English Teaching Framework. Each lesson is followed by personalized suggestions for improvement, a monthly progress report tracks six core abilities, and scheduling is available 24 hours a day so learners can keep up even in busy periods.

The TutorABC teaching and research team commented: “We often meet learners whose English is already fluent but who get stuck at the last step before promotion. They can speak in meetings, but what they say carries little weight. They have facts but no conclusion, and a single follow up question leaves them without an answer. The Critical Thinking English Course helps learners put their ideas in order: conclusion first, then reasons and next steps. The end of the year is exactly when reviews and next year’s staffing are being discussed. Build your communication skills now, and you will be ready when the opportunity comes.”
