Do any of you have experience using Macmillan's "In Company", either at the pre-intermediate or the intermediate level? I need to find a method for intermediate EFL learners who are aiming for business school. Any comments or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Are you committed to using this coursebook or are you still able to choose others?

In my experience, Longman's 'Market Leader' is a good series to use for students without 'real World' business experience.

Also, you can find loads of free downloadable business activities from MacMillan's website 'One Stop English', specifically in the free resources section.

Thanks Adam. I haven't committed yet but I have to decide really soon. I only have the publisher's blurbs about each method. 'In Company' appealed to me because 1) the CDs feature English speakers with lots of different accents (I definitely do not want only American or only British) 2) there is a video 3) it seems to be a good mix of grammar, creative thinking, general knowledge and business topics and 4) I liked the sample pages.
I will now go to Longman's website and see if I can find out more about 'Market Leader'. If you have used either or both of these methods, could you give me more specific criticism? Thanks very much!
