It provides students atthe start oftheir career with the specialist language knowledge and professional communication skills they will need in their jobs. Its also suitable for students who are studying towards a business qualification and want ‘a compatible and complementary language course. Finally, Profile 1's also suitable for in-work students wishing to follow a tightly-structured course that progresses at a measured pace and does not make assumptions about their business knowledge. Profile 1 assumes that students will have a good basic knowledge of general English, but that they need to be able to express business concepts in English. The course aims to introduce key business vocabulary, revise important ‘grammatical structures and functional areas, while developing the skils of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, METHODOLOGY The course is committed to a practical communicative methodology. Tasks and questions are designed to help students unlock the meaning and main points of listening, passages and reading texts. The guided discovery approach to grammar leads students to a clearer understanding of the forms and underlying concepts of English. Clear ‘communicative practice is provided in concrete speaking and writing tasks, which employ appropriate functional = language and expressions. The consistent use of Information-gap activities aims to develop practical use of English and develop fluency. PUNT nek The book is organized into twelve wide-ranging topic-based units. The listening and reading texts are chosen to be Interesting and motivating and so are largely drawn from, or based on, authentic sources such as newspaper and ‘magazine articles, books, and real company situations. They ‘can therefore be used to help students with litle knowledge of the business world or, alternatively, to complement and draw responses from the more experienced in-work students. j ‘The Teacher's Book provides support for those teachers who are new to teaching business English in the form of notes and explanations about areas of business with which they may be unfamiliar. = USING THE STUDENT’S BOOK How a unit works Each unit begins by introducing students to the core vocabulary relating to the theme of the unit. This is then reinforced as students work with stimulating listening and reading texts, Information-gap and discussion activities, role-plays, and creative writing tasks provide students with the opportunity to use the language they have learnt as well 4s to test their understanding of the areas of business covered in each unit. ‘The units are designed to be used in sequence. However, they are sufficiently discrete to allow for flexibility in cases where unit topics may need to be covered in a different order to that suggested. ‘The contents pages at the start of the Student’s Book contain details of what is covered in each unit. The twelve units are organized in three two-page sections. Each of these sections contains enough material for between cone to two hours, although this will vary according to the ability and size of your class.Course components AUDIO CD (OR CASSETTE) ‘The CD contains recordings for Listening and Speaking sections as well as any pronunciation work. Students will hear a variety of international accents on the CD which are representative of the range of English speakers that they might be likely to encounter in the workplace. Native speakers are used for recordings intended as models for speaking activities. A listening icon (9) indicates that a new recording is to be used, both in the Student's Book and in the Teacher's Book. CD-ROM ‘The CD-ROM in the back of the Student's Book contains a ‘video interview for each unit. The video interviews are authentic, with professionals from a variety of different organizations and across a range of industries. You can encourage your students to use the CD-ROM for self study. There are accompanying self-study exercises (pages 111-135) and an answer key (pages 136-137) at the back of the Student’s Book. The self-study exercises have been graded, so that students develop their listening skills and gain confidence in listening to real English. They are divided into three sections: BUSINESS PROFILE: Focuses on the video interview. LANGUAGE REVIEW: Looks at authentic use of the new language from the unit WORDBANK: Reviews and extends the unit’s key vocabulary, and practises pronunciation. WORKBOOK ‘The Workbook contains practice exercises and activities to reinforce and extend language covered in the Student's Book. All units have reading texts which are based on the topic of the corresponding units in the Student's Book, and are drawn from authentic sources. The answer key is included at the back of the book so that it can be used for self-study. The key contains sample answers for writing Introduction TEACHER'S BOOK Each unit begins with a brief introduction as to what is covered in the Student’s Book unit. Suggested lesson procedure notes contain the answer key: where possible, sample answers have been given for some of the more open activities such as discussion and writing tasks. Suggestions for extended exploitation of the material are also given at relevant stages in the lesson. The numbering of instructions corresponds directly with the numbering of the exercises in the Student's Book. Listening symbols are shown where the CD needs to be used. Photocopiable grammar activities ‘To provide further controlled and freer practice, each Grammar section has an accompanying photocopiable grammar activity. The emphasis is on students using the new grammar in realistic contexts, usually based around speaking or writing activities. Rey in tests ‘There are photocopiable revision tests for every three units of the Student’s Book (pages 63-70). The key for the tests can be found on pages 61-62.
