However, if you want to "immerse yourself" in business vocabulary from the very beginning of the training, opt for the Business Start-up textbook, it is ideal for beginners.

Choosing the Right Business English Textbook? Business English textbooks are always more complex than regular textbooks due to specific vocabulary, formal phrases and expressions. Therefore, we recommend that students take the allowance at a lower level than usual. For example, if you have already completed training at the Elementary level, then you should choose a textbook of the same level - Elementary, and not Pre-Intermediate.

All business English textbooks presented in the review are focused on the communicative teaching methodology, that is, on the simultaneous development of all English skills with an emphasis on speaking.

Each of the presented manuals is a training course, consisting of a main textbook, workbook, teacher's book, audio and / or video materials. This way, you will be able to develop all your English language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. At the same time, you will learn new business words, learn grammatical constructions and hone your pronunciation.

The form of material presentation in business English textbooks is the same: a textbook presenting material from simple to complex. These training courses are suitable for university students and adults.

The principle of independent work with the textbook is as follows: you need to take a training course of a suitable level and go from the first unit to the last, without skipping exercises.

Useful English job interview phrases

Summing up

Every successful employee needs Business English. To conduct a dialogue in English, it is not enough to have a basic knowledge of the language. You need to know specialized vocabulary. For telephone conversations, negotiations and interviews, narrow-profile vocabulary will become essential if you want to establish good relationships with partners. This question is especially relevant for the secretary, because his main task is to answer phone calls and provide comprehensive information. Any of his expressions comes on behalf of the entire company. The business environment requires formality. And if you work for an international company that cooperates with foreign suppliers, then knowledge of Business English is a must!

Recommendation: buy specialized dictionaries that have economic topics. Materials in the legal style, from the '' Finance and audit '' series, will also come in handy. But not all at once! Learn a little new things. The topic is heavy and voluminous. Take a few phrases per lesson. So there will be no mess in the head and no misunderstanding in the conversation. Remember: you can learn Business English well on your own!

We advise you to study the material about 1000 words in English that a beginner needs to know first of all, where words on other popular conversational topics are collected in groups.

Good luck and new lexical achievements!

Course composition The course includes the Course Book, which focuses on Business English in four core skills, and the Skill Book, which focuses on functional practice. The Course Book contains a CD with all the necessary materials to listen to.

Description:

• The course textbooks present an in-depth study of grammar and vocabulary, combined with the systematic development of skills necessary for working in various areas of business.
• The workbook contains assignments in the format of the Cambridge Business English (BEC) exams, as well as an overview and one complete version of each exam.
• The Skills Book offers complementary material to effectively develop the communication skills required in every workplace.
• The free CD-ROM included in the "Skills Book" contains interactive tasks, audio and video material, which allows you to successfully use it for independent work
• 2 videos with workbooks (Intermediate and Upper Intermediate levels) are a great addition to the course.
• Featuring informative and authentic material from The Economist, the Business Course helps students expand their knowledge of key business concepts while learning English.

Structure:

Structurally, all units are similar:

• title and description of the topic being studied;
• several exercises;
• text, after which it is necessary to answer the questions, or insert the missing sentences;
• rule + a few exercises of it;
• dilemma.

Dilemma- a text that describes an ambiguous situation for which it is necessary to come up with an optimal solution. For each dilemma, a detailed description and solution is provided at the end of the tutorial.

Peculiarities:

• The course will be useful for workers in the financial sector - hot topics are touched upon, and articles from the English-language weekly news magazine "The Economist" are shown.
• In each unit, the focus is on career skills (setting goals, negotiating or presenting, etc.). And also there is a section "Dilemma & Decision" for "Role-Play" with different scenarios. Similar to the Market Leader case studies, sections in Intelligent Business end with sections for adoption.
  solutions, where students discuss an issue related to the topic of the department and use key phrases for “Role Play” in the appropriate scenario.
• Articles in "Intelligent Business" are more recent and relevant than in the same "Market Leader", for example. This makes the book more attractive to students who feel like they are learning "the real thing" rather than something made up.
• Each block explains key business concepts on a variety of topics (eg Productivity and Etiquette) and contains real-life examples.
• Career skills sections help develop key communication skills.
• Meticulous writing is provided thanks to the Style Guide Booklet - each block looks like an addition to The Economist.

additional information:

• The link on the textbook website also provides access to the materials of The Economist magazine.
