Business Opportunities is designed to meet the needs of students of English for business, and especially of busy professional people, all over the world. The course caters for business people in two key respects: by setting a comprehensive structural syllabus in the context of everyday business functions, and by consistently basing its material on authentic sources from the international business world. While many students will prefer to use the course continuously, each unit is designed to be used independently and is entirely free-standing.
The emphasis within the book is on listening and speaking and on the communicative needs of professional people who need English as a lingua franca.
