Book Description | English for business life is written by experts in international business communication who understand how fast-moving changes are affecting the language and skills that people need to be effective in the workplace. The course presents the english essential for doing business in today's global marketplace. It takes account of international contexts, countries and cultures and a business environment where english is often used as the language of communication between speakers of many nationalities |
Editorial Review | Meaningful content: what I particularly like about english for business life is that it teaches the language of communication in the form of stock phrases and expressions. Ian badger and pete menzies demonstrate an understanding of the needs of students learning english for their work and of their trainers. Each unit deals with a discrete communicative situation, introducing a set of expressions at the beginning and leading to a practical application at the end. The self-study book is a gem and can serve as a stand-alone course. Each unit begins with what students so often ask: a recording and a list of the expressions to read, listen and repeat. Study notes consolidate the lesson and help the student working alone. This is particularly useful for a student who misses a class |
