inlingua business English materials

inlingua business English modules

inlingua has developed and produced a full range of English for Special Purposes courses. These are designed to assist professional people to improve their English language skills in specifically focused contexts that they need to use in the work. The language covered is directly linked to key strategies used in business communication, enabling learners to apply their professional skills when speaking English. The courses also deal with techniques for enhancing communication between non-native speakers. An audio CD with the listening exercises and selected dialogues suports this communicative approach. Below are podcasts which give the key language, repeated for spoken and listening practice, of the first unit of each module.
