Product Description

English for Business Studies is a skills-based course designed specifically for students of business studies who are about to enter English-medium tertiary-level studies. It provides carefully graded practice of the key academic skills that all students need, such as listening to lectures and speaking in seminars. It also equips students with the specialist vocabulary they need for study in a business faculty. Extensive listening exercises come from business studies lectures, which together with the reading texts cover the core areas of business studies.

In the 2nd Edition, the course has been updated by the authors to reflect recent business studies research and practice. The lectures, articles and graphics have been revised to incorporate new sources from the literature. The skills syllabus has also been updated, with new material on developing online study skills and more structured practice of key spoken language.

  • Listening – how to understand and take effective notes on extended lectures, follow a complex spoken argument and identify the speaker’s point of view
  • Speaking – how to participate effectively in a range of academic contexts, including developing an argument in a short presentation, participating in seminars and asking questions in lectures
  • Reading – how to understand and analyze a range of academic text types, including research papers, textbooks, graphs and charts, lecture slides and handouts, dictionaries, and institutional websites
  • Writing – how to produce coherent and well-structured assignments, incorporating idiomatic academic language and paraphrasing/quoting research sources appropriately
  • Vocabulary Bank + Skills Bank – a reference resource incorporating the key vocabulary and skills from each unit, extensively revised and cross-referenced to activities throughout the book
  • Includes digital workbook, provided as a SCORM package or through our online platform
