The Business English Teacher

"The Business English Teacher" is a book not only for teachers who are thinking of making a career move into the field of business English teaching but also for those who would like to increase their skills and develop their potential. "The Business English Teacher" contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: Part A: What is a business English teacher? The answer involves a reassuring yet challenging mix of general and specific teaching skills, where the focus is always on the learners' needs.

The authors look into who you teach, what you teach, where you teach and, above all, how you teach. Part B includes: a bank of activities covering all the stages of a successful business English course from the very beginning, investigating and practising the language needed for business skills and the language skills needed for business. The sections cover telephoning and socialising, emailing and negotiating, meetings and presentations -not forgetting aspects of grammar, vocabulary and phonology. Part C includes: a reflection on one's current degree of success, with strategies for further development, both as an English teacher in general and a business English teacher in particular - in other words, as an all-round professional.
