Editorial Reviews

Review

'... this resource is interesting and valuable and I will definitely use it for my classes ... Some activities provide the teacher with opportunities to exploit the learners' personal working experience in order to assess language needs and abilities and teach the language they most need. I believe my students will enjoy working through the course although at times they might find it challenging.' VATME Newsletter No.71, 1997

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential for ESL instructors teaching business courses, December 10, 1997

By

This review is from: New International Business English Student's Book and Audio Cassette Set (Paperback)

This book [and separate tape are] essential for ESL/EFL teachers who teach intermediate or advanced communications courses. Each chapter focuses on a business theme such as negotiation, business meetings, telephoning. The tapes are slow for learners above an intermediate level; however, the speaking activities can easily be used by both intermediate and advanced learners. One good aspect of the tapes is the British Accents which makes a nice contrast to my North American accent for learners in EFL situations. You can even stretch certain exercises into writing exercises. However, the book lacks any structured grammar lessons. At an intermediate level in some contexts you might find the book a bit thin because of this.The teachers guide is unfortunately essential because you often can't complete exercises without having the companioned instructions. Which means more of a cost outlay for some teachers.This book absolutely cannot be used for self-study or one-on-ones. Nevertheless, it is the best resource I've had for these types of courses so far. Definitely worth investing in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, British, ..., December 11, 2011

This review is from: New International Business English Updated Edition Student's Book with Bonus Extra BEC Vantage Preparation CD-ROM: Communication Skills in English for Business Purposes (Paperback)

I taught from this book and other books. They spend a lot of time on interpersonal communication and psychological mindsets, which sounds good, but if you're targeting USA, then you're spending 100% of the communication in British English and Euro-centric issues. With all the materials, there's a lot. My feeling is another book was cheaper, included the audio and covered more concrete business topics. The audio price is plainly overpriced compared to other publications. This book has you steeped in psychological analysis and nuances. But it's got more material for a whole year of course work. My feeling is this is a good comprehensive textbook, but if you're on a tight budget, then you can probably get more value out of some other textbooks, though it's sketchy exactly which ones.

I ordered this book and it was supposed to came with a CD-Room, but I did not reiceived it. I sent an email to consumer services and called up and they never answer. However, I received the book in the stipulated time but for most of the activities you need the CD.
