English for Business and Tourism

If you already have a basic level of general English, but want to improve your ability to communicate in everyday business or professional situations in an effective yet enjoyable way, then English for Business and Tourism is just the course for you!

Each of the fifteen lessons begins with a fully animated dialogue. The dialogues present the key language you need to communicate effectively in a wide range of common business situations.

The situations include:

• booking a flight
• checking in to a hotel
• hiring a car
• meeting and greeting people
• selling a product
• visiting a trade fair
• taking part in a job interview
• using the telephone

Each dialogue is complemented by:

• a quiz to test your comprehension
• a listen and repeat activity to help you improve your pronunciation and intonation
• a role play where you will have the opportunity to use the key language in a simulated dialogue
• a series of questions for you to answer about the lesson topic
• a listening comprehension passage related to the topic of the lesson

All the audio material has been recorded by professional voice actors with authentic British or American accents.

Record yourself speaking English

If you have completed some or all of the lessons, you will have learnt some useful vocabulary and expressions for talking about a variety of business topics. Now it's time for you to put what you have learnt into practice!

At the end of each video there is a role play or a series of questions about the lesson topic. Your project assignment is to record your answers to these questions and share the recording in the project gallery.

You can do this for some or all of the lessons. I will listen to all the recordings and give you feedback on your English. Good luck!
