Business english writing - Masterclass International School 2020

Organization of the text

Business English Writing is divided into twelve units inspired by the company and the human resources that work in it, taking into consideration the globalized reality in which we live today. Each unit focuses on a topic (new businesses, personnel management, marketing, negotiation and so on), at the basis of which there is a newspaper, magazine or specialized website article.

This is followed by a range of activities related to the development of the four language skills, although greater attention has been paid to oral skills (especially the development of the speaking skill).

Therefore, the activities of the various units revolve around the initial article, often accompanied by a glossary of different types (more or less complete according to the purposes required by the related activities).

The new words are inserted in the exercises and in the example sentences (in the part called grammar revision) to encourage the student to acquire a more natural acquisition of the new lexicon.

Most of the units focus on a grammatical topic providing a brief reference to theory, followed by a series of related exercises, which are still useful for linguistic reasoning and consolidation of the proposed structures.

The text also presents a series of supplementary activities, mostly related to listening skills. Practical links to the articles are provided in many of the proposed units and in this the student's personal initiative can also contribute significantly to improving their oral comprehension skills.
