Business Territory 1: General exposes students to authentic idiomatic business English. The non-scripted language of the interviews offers a variety of British accents and prepares learners for communication in real-life business environments.
The program offers students the chance to visit a real British company without leaving the classroom. It is based on a series of authentic video interviews recorded at a Cambridge electronics company and includes a wealth of built-in language support in the form of transcripts, paraphrases, a glossary, and audio comments giving both linguistic and business information.
There are comprehension and auditing tasks to be completed onscreen but also many attractive printable worksheets which require students to collaborate in researching particular aspects of the company and presenting their findings in front of the class.
Most EFL/ESL multimedia packages are complete self-study courses of little interest to the classroom teacher. Business Territory 1: General has been developed in response to teachers asking multimedia resources designed specifically for classroom and one-to-one use. It has been designed to support active communicative language learning.
The integrated activities cover around 40 hours of student work and the language auditing task-types include true / false comprehension, opinion-gap, ranking, gapfill, and language auditing. These activities encourage students to watch the interviews from a variety of perspectives and use their language for communicative purposes.
