Compact, Relevant & Flexible
Mike Hogan 21/06/2013
It’s a compact, blended course – SB+DVD, Teacher’s Book, Audio CD
Relevant to business students – doesn’t assume business knowledge but builds it
Very flexible – the modular nature of the course means it can be ‘diced and sliced’ as the teacher wants it
Who is it for?For Business Students – at university, further education colleges
◦ Why? Because it was based on research on the business studies syllabi at leading universities and builds business skills alongside the English
◦ Typical Student? 18 – 25. At college studying a business
related course (IT, banking, tourism, marketing, finance etc), looking for an English course that is relevant to their studies and will prepare them further for business world (and get them a good job). They’ve done a bit of English at school but not business specific.
