* Course Book:
This provides the main part of the teaching material, divided into 12 or 14 topic-based units depending on the level. The topics have been chosen following research among teachers to establish which are the areas of widest possible interest to the majority of their students. The Course Book provides input in reading, speaking and listening, with guidance for writing tasks, too. Every unit contains vocabulary development activities and a rapid review of essential grammar. There is a regular focus on key business functions, and each unit ends with a motivating case study to allow students to practise language they have worked on during the unit.
There are also revision units in the Course Book that revise and consolidate the work in the main units.
* Practice File:
This gives extra practice in the areas of grammar and vocabulary, together with a complete syllabus in business writing. In each unit students work with text models and useful language, then do a writing task to consolidate the learning. Additionally the practice File provides regular self study pronunciation work (with an audio CD and exercises), and a valuable survival language section.
* Audio materials:
All the listening activities from the Course Book are authentic business situations and the Practice File (pronunciation exercises) are available on CD, depending on users' preference.
* Teacher's Resource Book:
This book provides teachers with an overview of the whole course together with detailed teaching notes, background briefings on business content, the Text Bank (optional extra reading texts and exercises) and the Resource Bank (photocopiable worksheets practising communication skills).
A free Test Master CD ROM is provided with the New Edition and Advanced Teachers Books.
