Business English: Writing for the Global Workplace includes all of the essentials of a traditional Business English text and more: its unique approach enhances its value for your students. 1. Students quickly learn that the value of speaking and writing Business English relates to our global marketplace: technology has made the world smaller, and just about every job today includes writing e-mail and speaking to people from diverse cultures. 2. Students use their own local language as a springboard to learn Business English, discovering that Business English is the best choice in formal environments with their local language remaining valuable in informal ones. Business English: Writing for the Global Workplace also takes the practical approach of using writing as a tool to have students apply their grammar skills: as your students’ grammar skills improve, so do their writing skills. This book provides the tools students need to compete in today’s global job market, and your students will find its unique presentation motivating as it leads them to solid skills they can use to enhance their career.
