English for Business Studies aims to improve the student's language in key business and economic concepts.

The Student's Book contains 28 units and covers the full range of business and economic issues, from Work and motivation, to Exchange rates and International trade. The focus of the individual units is on developing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills through activities which engage the learner and allow them to improve their English in a thorough and stimulating way. Key features of the book include: core reading texts to explain the basic concept; authentic reading texts and audio recordings; a variety of speaking activities including discussion and role play; systematic vocabulary building; language reference section; multi-lingual glossary of key terms.

'Are you afraid of business English? Do you feel out of your depth when confronted with all the jargon? Fear not, English for Business Studies will change all that.' "The course more than meets its aims of developing students' skills in business English, and is at the same time a good way of introducing the EFL teacher to business English.' BBC English, 1997
'Students new to the world of business will learn a lot. Those already in work will be able to bring their personal experience to bear.' 'It would be equally suitable and challenging for corporate classes and general learners of Business English, and the intrinsic interest of many of the tasks and topics suggest that it could also be a valuable resource book on other courses.' EL Gazette, 1998
