| Depending on their level and class size, how about Business Explorer (Cambridge) - it's very practical and communicative... |

| I like Market Leader, the case studies give a lot of fluency practice. |

What level are we talking about?
I don't particularly like Market Leader cos it's too work orientated. Not really university student friendly. |

Funny that. No drinking or puking questions.
I'd second Market Leader. |

That's not what I mean.
I've used a few biz English books, and I have used Market Leader with people who are working. The book requires you to have a degree of industry knowledge, i.e. people who have worked.
Most uni students here have never had any work experience. Asking them to answer some of those questions is pretty much lost on them. |
