Product Description

 

Business Update Level 2 Teacher’s Book

Business Update provides students with the English skills they need for business using a carefully planned combination of task-based and multi-functional practice. It teaches specialist vocabulary and provides authentic business scenarios in which skills can be practised. The approach to learning prepares students in dealing with everyday office life, such as telephoning, working with facts and figures, taking orders and dealing with customer enquiries. Each level in the series is made up of three components: a Course Book, a Workbook and a Teacher’s Book.

The units provide 120+ hours of extensive practice and reference material, using many sectors of the business world as inspiration. A skills section accompanies each unit, including authentic reading passages, vocabulary building and writing and research projects.

Other useful sections include:

  • pair and group activities
  • professional training hints on what to do in business situations
  • transcripts to support activities in the Course Book and Workbook
  • grammar explanations linked to the relevant unit
  • unit-by-unit word lists

In the Workbook, each unit has follow-up activities and a quiz to monitor the students’ progress.
