In more detail
Help students achieve their goals
The English that students learn is practical for both working in business and further study at university level. Interviews, case studies and Financial Times content bring the real world of business into the classroom and motivate students with an interest in business.
Flexi Editions
The Market Leader 3rd Edition Flexi Editions are great for intensive courses: they combine half a Course Book and half of the equivalent Practice File. With the course content coverable in a shorter period (40-60 hours of contact time), they are ideal for summer courses or other intensive packages.
Business skills lessons and self-assessment
Extra builds on Market Leader 3rd Edition by providing new Business Skills lessons that offer the learner a task-based, integrated skills approach to the development of core business skills such as Presentations, Negotiations, Meetings and Small Talk.
BEC Support
Use Market Leader to prepare your students for the Cambridge Business English Certificate (BEC). Market Leader provides dedicated support for the reading and writing elements of BEC for the top two levels, BEC Vantage (B2) and BEC Higher (C1).
Real English in a Business Environment
Financial Times articles and practice exercises help students develop English for business.
Topics such as buying and selling, mergers and acquisitions, people skills, marketing and human resources expose students to the practicalities of business.
Consultant case studies help students learn general business practices while improving their English.
