, FOREWORD
This book includes practical materials of Business English initially designed for
students of the Institute of International Management of Tomsk Polytechnic University.
Taking into account the topics presented and the urgent need to introduce business
technologies in modern scientific, educational and industrial context, the textbook can also
be applied to students of technical educational institutions (Intermediate, Upper-
Intermediate and Advanced).
Business English will help students to activate and extend your knowledge of English
and gain the necessary confidence and skills to use it for your own purposes. It
encourages you to think about language creativity. There are opportunities for individual,
pair and group work and private study at home. This book includes a wide range of
activities and approaches designed to appeal to different personal learning styles.
The course consists of ten units, each containing the same component sections which
cover various types of activities.
1. Unit 1: Introduction into Business English
2. Unit 2: Recruitment
3. Unit 3: Writing CV and Letter of Application
4. Unit 4: Job interviews
5. Unit 5: Business Etiquette
6. Unit 6: Types of Business Organizations
7. Unit 7: Company Structure
8. Unit 8: Money Matters
9. Unit 9: Telephoning
10. Unit 10: Giving a Successful Presentation.
Each unit has a separate section on Listening, Speaking, Writing, Reading, and
Vocabulary, but the order of the sections varies from unit to unit. Each section focuses on
a particular area of language use, but also integrates and practices other skills.
The listening passages provide examples of authentic or typical spoken English. There
is a variety of accents, and a mix of monologues and conversations. The passages vary in
length depending on their purpose. You may be asked to respond verbally or non-
3
, verbally, to work alone or with other students, and to focus on what the speakers say or on
how they say it. The tapescripts are included on pages 157-180.
In reading sections the passages have been chosen for their intrinsic interest. They are
drawn from a variety of sources: newspapers, magazines, letters, literature and the
Internet. The purpose of reading exercises is to help and encourage you to read without
stress, for enjoyment, and for specific information.
Almost every unit has some speaking activities. Sometimes you will be asked to focus
on accuracy, other times on fluency. These activities provide the opportunity for students
to interact in pairs and groups, using language in a freer, more relaxed and more creative
way.
There are a wide range of exercises to master your writing skills. The book provides
fairly detailed guidelines, particularly in the early units and it is advisable that these are
discussed fully in class, and that students are given the opportunity for planning, on an
individual or group basis, before the writing stage.
This book uses a variety of learning strategies to introduce new words, to provide
opportunities to use words you already know, and to encourage you to use words
generatively. There is a detailed unit vocabulary at the end of this book.
The author would like to express special thanks to all teachers contributing to this
course and all people working at the language resource centre “Mediateka” of the Institute
of International Management for their encouragement, kind support, help and invaluable
advice in the selection and publishing of educational materials.
