A clear structural syllabus set in the context of everyday business functions. Who is it for? Managers and trainee managers. Pre-experience business students. There is a clear functional syllabus tailored for the business student. The 15 free-standing units are each based on a key area of business interaction, such as telephoning, meetings, and socializing. The functional syllabus is combined with a strong grammar syllabus, ensuring progressive coverage of all the basic structures and tenses that occur in general coursebooks at lower-intermediate level. Special emphasis is placed on skills work, particularly listening and speaking. The student-centred approach invites learners to draw on their own professional experience in activities and discussions. Essential business vocabulary is presented in realistic contexts and taught systematically. The course includes a substantial amount of listening work, as well as a pronunciation syllabus. There is an accompanying video, Meeting Objectives.
