Vieira, Nataliya Godinho Soares2017-05-302017-05-302014ISSN 1647-1989http://hdl.handle.net/10437/7945The business sphere is a multilingual world where foreign language communication skills are crucial in international relations. It makes employers look for business professionals who have a high level of linguistic competences. Language proficiency increases the chances of negotiation among partners. There are mainly two obstacles that make barriers in formal communication in a foreign language: lack of knowledge of specific linguistic structures or terminology and frequent transitions from one language to another. This paper contributes to the quest for quick access to a wide range of English, Spanish and Russian online databases that provide authentic language samples. Their application may improve communication skills and facilitate preparation for business discourse.application/pdfengopenAccessGESTÃOMANAGEMENTCOMUNICAÇÃO ORGANIZACIONALORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATIONPersonal advisors for business professionals: improving communication skills with online corporaarticle
