Description
To be ready to use English in the workplace, students need to:
- be exposed to a variety of business and workplace situations
- build confidence in using English communicatively for work
- practice using English creatively in simulated business contexts
Get Ready for Business helps college students prepare to use English in the workplace by:
- exposing them to English being used in a range of different business contexts
- offering a variety of different accents in the listening exercises and the special Viewpoints sections that feature a wide range of people talking about aspects of business and culture
- focusing on developing learners' listening and speaking skills through carefully graded activities
- explicitly teaching key conversation strategies to help them manage conversations in business settings
- providing business tasks that allow students to use the language studied in business simulations to develop their own professional language skills
Each unit is also accompanied by a TOEIC test-type practice page to review the language from the unit and to give students experience of TOEIC test-type exercises.
Get Ready for Business is an American-English course in listening and speaking, that helps Asia college students with little or no experience of business prepare for the world of work. Get Ready for Business is written by teachers with a strong background in teaching business English.
