Description: This book has been carefully designed to present business related topics which are genuinely useful for business students.
Some of the study units are not so challenging in terms of learning the new vocabulary and in those study units business students are required to do more practice at English language conversation and presenting in English, forming meaningful questions and answering questions meaningfully.
Some of the study units are called “brain buster units” these units will contain a lot of new vocabulary and are meant to be very “challenging” for the business student. To be challenged does confirm that the learning process is taking place.
The last eight units in this book are 100% conversation units and will require business students to carry out extensive conversation practice.
The aim of this study course is to greatly increase the business students understanding of many useful business related topics and thus enable the business student to “stand out” and be positively noticed in the workplace as a more knowledgeable and useful employee.
Business knowledge is not a “copyrighted quality” but represents common sense and logical professional thinking, therefore through studying this business course you will increase your professional business and logical common sense business knowledge and abilities.
This is firstly a business studies course and secondly it is taught using international business English language. Reference sources are internet non copyright sources and the authors logical, common sense and experience in relation to international business English.
