Full Description
Globalization, the spread of e-commerce and increasing world travel require that ever-increasing numbers of business people need to be able to communicate in English, both competently and confidently. This self-access course is intended for people who already speak some English and who want to improve their English to use in their jobs or in their studies. The book contains 18 units, including three for checking your progress, plus an answer key and a language reference section. The units consist of: conversations set in a business context for you to listen to and answer questions about; articles and reading texts about business topics; activities that focus on the language in the listening and reading texts; activities to practice speaking in specific business situations; activities to practice writing business letters, e-mails, and CVs; and suggestions for further practice that you can do on your own. The accompanying double cassette provides over two hours of listening material. This is also available on a double CD which can be purchased on its own (0-340-87140-7) or in a pack with the book (0-340-87138-5).
