grow across different countries. This paper studies the business English
education in Chile by reviewing the business English education developments in
Chile, delineating the status quota of Chilean business English education and
analyzing the future trends. This paper has found that private language
centers, foreign culture and education organizations, and higher education
institutions work together to push forward
business English development in Chile. It aims to have implications for
the research into business English developments in Latin America and
country-specific business English studies.
