If you already have a basic level of general English, but want to improve your ability to communicate in everyday business or professional situations in an effective yet enjoyable way, then English for Business and Tourism is just the course for you!

Each of the fifteen lessons begins with a fully animated dialogue. The dialogues present the key language you need to communicate effectively in a wide range of common business situations.

The situations include:

• booking a flight

• checking in to a hotel

• hiring a car

• meeting and greeting people

• selling a product

• visiting a trade fair

• taking part in a job interview

• using the telephone

Each dialogue is complemented by:

• a quiz to test your comprehension

• a listen and repeat activity to help you improve your pronunciation and intonation

• a role play where you will have the opportunity to use the key language in a simulated dialogue

• a series of questions for you to answer about the lesson topic

• a listening comprehension passage related to the topic of the lesson

All the audio material has been recorded by professional voice actors with authentic British or American accents. MP3 audio versions of the dialogues and listening passages are also provided, and each lesson comes with a ten-page downloadable PDF workbook, which contains:

• a full transcript of the dialogue

• language notes explaining key grammar and vocabulary points

• a word list featuring definitions of the vocabulary used in the lesson

• language exercises

• a crossword

• a word search puzzle

Most of these activities can also be done as interactive online activities, and the extra resources include Quizlet flashcard sets featuring the vocabulary used in each lesson.
