Abstract: The present paper is aimed at undergoing a contrasting analysis of two different types of trainees, represented by students and professionals, both categories having the same status as language learners of Business English training courses. Generally speaking, individualized teaching-learning strategies are shaped based on nonformal education content, which involves facilitating teamwork and an interdisciplinary approach. Learning through experience helps learners develop skills necessary to adapt in the work environment. Thus, simulated and real situations can be contrasted and turned into an object of analysis. My conclusion is that experiential learning opposes traditional education because it starts with practicing a skill, analyzes the practice and then repeats the practice at a more complex level.
