Tell us more about your students' situation and background. Otherwise, I suggest visiting the many publishers' web sites and getting free samples for starters.
Pearson Longman
Cengage (Thomson/Heinle)
Oxford
Cambridge
Etc. |

I've used and can recommend:
Business Venture (for fairly low-level students)
Business Objectives (for intermediates)
Business Opportunities (for higher intermediates)
But, if you are teaching the "varying levels" in one class then this could be tricky.
Are there any specific goals for the students that they need? (Business trips? Speaking at conferences? Talking to clients on the phone, by email etc...?) |

Thanks Bobby. You are very kind. This is for a potential new class through a company I work for, therefore I know nothing of the students, their backgrounds or their needs. thanks again for your reply.
Thanks to you too, Kanjizai. I will have a look at the Market Leader series. |

| I second Market Leader, especially for long courses. The "class" CD is included in the student text so don't have to buy it separately like with most texts. But be careful to choose the appropriate level. I would use the elementary level for pre-intermediate to intermediate students and the pre-intermediate level for intermediate to upper-intermediate students. There are four levels. |
