Teacher Discussion Forums

Hello. I would like to teach business/workplace English to new immigrants, who have limited English proficiency. Does anyone out there have any recommendations for good textbooks for teaching a beginning-level business/workplace English class? Thanks!

Market leader has an Elementary Business English course.
Longman Pearson.

But this is only suitable for those entering a business or business office environment.
It would not really be suitable for those in manufacturing, retail or hospitality.

Have you also looked on the ESP forum?

Hi tigertiger,

Thanks so much for the book suggestion! I really appreicate that. I will check out the ESP forum and see if I am able to find some information there.

I haven't taught from Market Leader yet, but I have also been recommended to use it giving a Business English course.

I have used English 365 1 printed by Camridge Universoty press. I'm not sure how elementary your class is, but I like the subjects this books gives students to talk about. I find students can use the book according to whatever level they are. However have a look before you buy.

Genosha,

Thanks for the suggestion! My students will likely be elementary or lower intermediate level. I will definitely check out the book. Thanks again!
