Business Skills - In-company and PARE classes

(From Jo)

Dear all

If you are doing a S&L course or using a General English book (Upp Int / Advanced) but students would like to do some Business English from time to time, I've scanned in some new material from Market Leader Upper Intermediate that might be of interest:

Email

Interviews

Meetings

Negotiations

Presentations 1

Presentations 2

Small talk

Teleconferencing

If you are teaching a lower level and students have expressed an interest in doing some Business English but you are not sure about material, please just let me know.

These are also on the system (S:\Teachers\03 Levels\03 In-company Levels File\02 Resources\06 Skills and sectors\Market Leader Upp Int EXTRA Business Skills) and the audio tracks are on the server in Granollers (email Jo if you can't access them).

Enjoy!
