Building Fluency

Business Speaking provides practice of key language in both formal and informal business settings. Students will practice vocabulary and common expressions through a variety of speaking and listening activities in order to communicate more confidently in the workplace.

Each lesson ends with a test in a dynamic, role-play format to assess if students are able to use new language appropriately in the given context.

On completion of the course, students will have a much broader range of vocabulary, and be able to use new language effectively to interact with clients and co-workers.

Business Speaking B2 offers:

  • 30 content-rich lessons at B2 level presenting language in many of the most common business situations.
  • Coverage of a variety of key expressions that are transferable across different industries and work settings.
  • A wide range of exercise types including comprehension and practice activities that develop both micro and macro level skills in listening and pronunciation.
  • Interactive roleplays that offer realistic conversation practice in everyday business situations.
  • A useful Language Study cycle that summarises key phrases, and explains how and when they should be used.
  • Material that includes a variety of accents to help prepare learners for interactions with native and non-native speakers of English in the work-place.

Lessons follow a systematic structure, and are broken down into short modules. Students can begin a lesson, take a break and simply pick up where they left off. An end-of-lesson, dynamic format test helps consolidate the language learned and provides an immediate benchmark of progress made.

  • A short listening introduces the lesson theme in a specific business context to help orientate students.
  • Students practice key language points through focused gap-fill exercises, and are given clear feedback.
  • Listening skills are practiced twice - first for gist, and second for specific information.
  • A unique test ends the lesson in a dynamic, role-play format which asks students to respond to a natural dialog.
