Business, Basically: 18 Concise Business-Themed Lessons for ESL Learners

Business, Basically is designed as a practical introduction to Business English that introduces students to relevant vocabulary as well as relevant situations and documents that they may encounter in the business world. The lessons in this book can be used for either classes with several students or one-on-one teaching. A typical lesson will include warm-up questions, an introduction to vocabulary or a particular type of business document (email, resume, cover letter, job application, etc.), discussion questions, and an activity or assignment. In short, while the lessons in this book aim to give students a brief introduction to business settings and business English, the process of teaching these lessons should similarly serve to prepare students for a challenging business world in which independence, confidence, and public speaking are indispensable assets.
