Business Start-Up 1: Teacher's Book

Business Start-up is a two-level Business English course which takes beginners and false beginners from basic English up to the point where they can start preparing for the ВЕС Preliminary examination. "Business Start-up 1" covers competencies from Council of Europe level Ai and leads into A2.
Business Start-up brings reality to the most basic levels of language learning through the use of authentic material, real companies and credible communication scenarios, ensuring that adult learners remain interested and motivated. Communication skills are carefully prioritised, allowing learners to start working in English at the earliest opportunity.
Key features
- A carefully graded grammar syllabus combined with a strong focus on functional, communicative language means that even genuine beginner-level students can start using English at work. - Realistic, natural listening texts mean students learn to understand English as it's really spoken. - Engaging content featuring authentic companies and realistic contexts keeps students interested and motivated. - Extra grammar and vocabulary exercises at the back of the book give more flexibility, especially for mixed-ability classes. - A regular focus on pronunciation provides support, not just for speaking, but also for understanding natural, spoken English.
The "Business Start-up Teacher's Books" contain detailed notes on every lesson with added tips and advice on how to manage and extend the course material. Additional communication activities in each lesson offer even more communicative language practice.
The Teacher's Books also contain a placement/ end of course test and a progress test after every three units. The Business Start-up website offers a downloadable list of "Can-do" statements for every unit based on competencies from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This allows students the chance to evaluate their own progress and reflect on what they've learnt.
