Modular Business English Course
Taking a modular approach, our Business English course is centred around 12 international case studies.
Each of the 12 case study books is divided into sections containing business documents and dialogue texts, language practice exercises, assessment and revision sections, answer keys and transcripts.
The 12 audio CDs, one for each case study, are all recorded by native speakers of English from many parts of the world.
The Business English Dictionary provides the ultimate reference tool long after you have finished your course.
It's True-to-Life
The range of realistic international business scenarios within each of the 12 case studies present "true-to-life" situations and problems.
The audio recordings present the case in a documentary style while the printed text presents a parallel version.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Present a case or argument clearly
- Persuade other people to your point of view
- Understand and accurately answer all the questions you are asked
- Be polite and firm in discussions and negotiations
- Read and understand articles in trade and professional magazines
