Video

This brand new Video is designed to be used with the highly successful New International Business English course. Taken together, the Video and Teacher’s Guide provide a rich and easy-to-use package that can be used to introduce or review the themes of the 15 units of the New International Business English course. The Video can also be used on its own or to accompany other business English materials at the upper-intermediate level.

The New International Business English Video:

• provides examples of English being used by people in business situations
• encourages students to discuss various aspects of business, comparing their experiences
• offers a ‘window on the world of business English’, opening up the classroom to other people’s ideas and opinions
• increases students’ awareness of how intonation, tone of voice, facial expressions, body language and gestures contribute to communication

The Video contains 12 dramatized and 3 documentary sequences. The dramatized sequences take a light and humorous approach to the aspects of communication that most directly affect learners at this level, such as socializing, negotiating and presenting.

The 3 documentary sequences provide an invaluable insight into the way a firm operates, focusing on company history, organization, marketing and products.

The Video is sold with a Teacher’s Guide which provides comprehensive advice on using the Video, photocopiable activities for the students and photocopiable scripts of the sequences.
