We recommend English for Doing Business in Asia -- Speaking, and English for Doing Business in Asia -- Writing courses to help you with your English. Both of these courses are free. You may not apply for certification for these soft skills courses. Sometimes, mere demonstration of positive body language and clear communication is enough.
