Intelligent Business is the Pearson award-winning business English course that features informative and authentic material from the Economist. Your students don’t need to be taught what a multi-national company is, they work for one. They don’t need to be taught how to write a business report, they wrote one last week. They just need to turn their familiar work life into English as quickly as possible. The Skills Book includes topics such as 'meeting business partners', 'brainstorming solutions', 'leading a meeting' and 'making a short presentation'. It provides students with functional business English that they can use at work straight away. There is also a free practice CD ROM with all the listening material and some of the video as well as extra language check activities. The Skills book can be used with the Course Book to bring more of a skills focus into your classroom, or use it independently for an intensive Business English Skills Course.

Intelligent Business is the Pearson award-winning business English course that features informative and authentic material from the Economist. What happens when your students haven’t worked in business before? They need to learn business concepts like mergers and acquisitions. They need to know essential career skills, like presenting and summarising. On top of this, they need to learn useful business English. The Coursebook assumes that students have a limited prior knowledge of the business world, so it teaches business concepts and skills as well as business English. There’s an authentic reading from The Economiste magazine in every unit, so you won’t have to go through the business news pages for reading texts. And every Coursebook has a free Style Guide for business letters, faxes and emails.
