Key features

* This new edition combines the most popular features of the original course with new, updated material in every unit, a new Teacher`s Guide, a new Workbook, and a re-recorded Cassette.
* The emphasis throughout is on presenting English as a means of international communication. The language models provided are standard American English, although a variety of other native and non-native accents appear in the listening materials.
* The material is carefully graded and gently paced to encourage fluency and give confidence to low-level learners.
* Each level consists of 12 units which prepare learners for a wide range of business situations such as greeting colleagues and clients, talking on the telephone, handling meetings, and entertaining clients.
* Communication skills are intensively coached through dialogue practice, pair work and information gap activities. The Chicago Contract, a new business board game, reviews the language in the Student`s Book in a lively and interesting way.
* A Culture File in every unit presents topics of cross-cultural interest for discussion, and provides advice on potentially problematic situations such as tipping, the right clothes to wear, and gift giving.
