This paper reports on the effectiveness of a one-day workshop developed for business people, aimed at improving English teleconference skills and at understanding the problems teleconference participants have. The workshop focuses on reduced forms for listening to natural speed English, conversation strategies for managing communication breakdown, and pragmatic hints and tips for a teleconferencing schema. According to the survey, the workshop was rated ‘useful’ by the attendees and two listening problems were highlighted as their main issues in teleconferencing: difficulty in following conversation speed and in recognizing pronunciations. Addressing those problems would improve the value of such a workshop
