This research explores the development of an English for Business Purposes (EBP) course tailored for pre-intermediate business professionals. The study focuses on employing task-based learning (TBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) approaches to enhance business communication skills. A detailed needs analysis is conducted to identify the language requirements of business professionals, emphasizing speaking, writing, and listening skills essential for workplace communication. The study also examines the role of discourse analysis in shaping course content and ensuring contextual relevance. By integrating PBL and discourse-based methodologies, the course aims to improve participants' linguistic competence, problem-solving abilities, and intercultural communication skills, ultimately preparing them for professional success in the global business environment.
