Business options is a book of Business English. It is mostly suitable for upper-intermediate or advanced learners. Business Options is an upper-intermediate level course for professional people from all areas of business. It follows the communicative, functional approach which is a hallmark of Oxford business courses, and extends this with development of business skills appropriate to the needs of upper-intermediate students. The course is structured around fourteen theme-based units such as Performance and Trade, which focus on real business situations, both formally inside the workplace and informally on social occasions. A strong feature of the material is its attention to social and cultural awareness, often the most difficult area for students at this level. Key features of the course:
• emphasis on development of social skills in a cross-cultural environment • each unit is discrete so units can be used in any order • speech production tasks featured to help students learn how to sound confident and thus communicate more effectively • each unit includes a meeting on the unit theme, which can be formal or informal as appropriate • Table talk section as a feature of each unit, to encourage students to develop conversational skills outside their normal area of work • cassettes include improvised listening passages to build confidence in. listening to the features of natural, unscripted speech
It is an edition of the established Modern English Business Letters,
and provides pre-intermediate and intermediate students with a complete
guide to the writing and layout of business letters.
It contains some 150 specimen letters and over 700 phrases and extracts
from letters. Exmples of both British and American style are given. All
the kinds of business letters required by various firms are discussed,
ranging from enquiries, offers, sale letters, reminders, complaints and
adjustments, collection and delivery letters, arranging appointments,
travel, accomodation. With each chapter there are exercises giving
students practice in writing similar letters. All the letters are
presented in an attractive and realistic style, and the revisions have
taken into account decimalisation and metrication.
Special attention has been paid to the needs of students, whose
interest lies mainly in import-export matters, and information is given
on terms used in all aspects of foreign trade, including accounting,
agencies, banking, insurance and transport.
