FAQ
How does Manufacturing English differ from general Business English?
Manufacturing has heavy technical terminology (lead time, yield rate, CpK, OEE, PPAP) and unique scenarios (factory audit, 8D report). EnggleTalk teachers tailor materials to your industry.
Can I practice customer audit conversations?
Yes. Teachers design mock audits playing lead auditor, with real-time response practice and post-audit CAR drafting.
Do teachers understand technical specs?
EnggleTalk teachers focus on English expression. Technical details follow your provided specs; teachers help translate technical content into precise English.
We have overseas plants or expat assignments — can we prepare?
Yes. Many manufacturing students prepare for expat assignments: local communication, cross-plant coordination, customs documentation.
Can you issue a Taiwan tax invoice?
Yes. EnggleTalk is operated by Gezhong International Co., Ltd. (Tax ID 52552664).
