Introduction

This course is an extensive Business English course designed to bring the real world of international business into the language-teaching classroom. The course is intended for use either by students preparing for a career in business or those already working who want to improve their English communication skills.

Throughout the course students are encouraged to use their own experience and opinions in order to maximize involvement and learning. An essential requirement of Business English materials is that they cater for the wide range of needs which students have, including different areas of interest and specialisation, different skills and needs and varying amounts of time available to study. The course gives a unique range of flexible materials to meet these needs.

The main course components are divided into 9 topic-based units. The topics cover the areas of the widest possible interest to the majority of students: education, employment, meetings, presentations, negotiating, telephoning, business culture. The course provides input in reading and speaking.

Students are also introduced to key intercultural concepts, developing their awareness and skills in order to function effectively in international business situations. In each unit students work with text models and useful language, then do various tasks to consolidate the learning. The aims of these tasks include expansion of lexical and grammatical aspects of knowledge, perfection of productive and perceptional abilities, automation of skills (spoken language and reading, formation of skills of dialogue and monologue speech, and also reading skills with a different degree of text comprehension.

Thus, the aim of this manual is to help students to master communicative competence that will allow them to use a foreign language in different areas of professional activity, advanced and practical study, communication with foreign partners, self-education and other fields of human interaction. Therefore students will be ready for verbal communication in English to solve tasks of professional activity and be able to use knowledge in the area of humanitarian, social and economic sciences during realization of expert and analytical work.

1. EDUCATION

Background Information

Master’s Course

        Student and employer demand for advanced education and certification within professional fields of study has sparked much of the growth in master’s degree enrollments. These increases in demand have been spurred by broader global shifts toward a technology-driven, information-centred economy in which the need for highly trained, “expert” professionals in management, finance, information technology has skyrocketed.

In business, education, engineering, and nursing, the master’s is almost always required for advancement into more financially lucrative and leadership positions.
