The various lexical fields are presented through freer practice in simulations, telephone ca ls and general conversation; encouraging the student to draw from personal experience to give meaningful, contextual practice. More complex structures such as the second conditional, narrative tenses and future forms are used to carry out tasks such as giving presentations, dealing with import and export, working away and business entertaining.
