or found one that was totally useless?
i've just spent the last 2 hours googling business ESL, and expect to spend a few more doing so--it's for a term paper in an MA.

if you've come across a business site that you liked, could you post it here? i'm sure others will be able to use it too.

thanks!

thanks blue jay.
for the paper, i want to look at a series of web resources and evaluate them--much like you might evaluate a group of textbooks.

since the course is business english, well, i'll focus on business english.

apparently it's not been done much, because the prof seemed quite happy to ok it.
wanna take bets she includes it in next year's resource pack? Wink

anyone else?

You also might want to consider business studies focusing on the mid to high level students using high school business studies courses.

Like these for example:-

www.bized.ac.uk
www.tutor2u.ac.uk
www.investopedia.com

These are all websites I have used to teach business in China. Especially bized, it's a great website for up to date articles.
