In this module the student is supplied with the language necessary to carry out increasingly challenging business communication, starting at the B2 level of the CEFR. Functions such as: describing trends and patterns, evaluating personal qualities, telling jokes and discussing strike action are introduced and practised through guided role-plays, reading texts and open questions. The student will use the second conditional to talk about hypothetical situations and comparative structures. They will also learn more adjectives in order to give detailed descriptions of company structure, candidates for a vacancy and the business cycle. There is also extensive practice to encourage the correct pronunciation of new vocabulary and useful expressions to tell anecdotes. The various lexical fields are presented through freer practice in simulations and general conversation; encouraging the student to draw from personal experience to give meaningful, contextual practice.
