Metodología docente (2010-11)

The book "BUSINESS BENCHMARK PRE-INTERMEDIATE TO INTERMEDIATE" provides the students with 24 topics where you are offered a variety of interesting activities in which you can discuss the topic and exchange ideas about it. You can learn new words and phrases which you can use when carrying out the tasks of the unit. You are provided with a good selection of authentic English business texts with listening interviews to business people. You also have presentations, negotiations, telephoning, English in social meetings... to develop essential business communication. The manual integrates the four skills, so practice in understanding, listening, reading, and writing are well balanced in the twenty-four topics of the book. Nevertheless intense practice will be provided on the skill students need most. Students are expected to prepare some of the exercises previously to participate actively in the lessons.
