    Introduction

    Rationale

    Today, the demand for Business English is greater than ever. And
    with the increasingly globalised world of international business,
    it looks set to keep on growing. As a result, the teaching and
    learning of Business English is playing an increasingly important
    role in business studies and everyday corporate life. Although the
    need for Business English is the same for students at a business
    school as it is for employees in a company, their needs and
    learning circumstances are very different.

    For students at a business school, the main challenge is often
    understanding business itself, not only the English language.
    Fortunately, the tertiary education environment usually provides
    enough classroom hours to deal with these challenges. For students
    studying business full time, the key is to learn business through
    the medium of the English language.

    For people already active in the workplace and with some
    understanding of the world of business, often the challenge is
    finding the time to learn Business English. Furthermore, for
    managers with a very good business knowledge, their learning
    experience must reflect this understanding of business practices
    and reality. For these students language learning is not an
    academic exercise but a need to translate familiar business
    practices into English as quickly as possible. Here the key is to
    do business in English.

    Intelligent Business is a range of Business English materials
    that includes components specifically designed to meet the needs of
    students who either need to learn business through English or
    perform familiar business tasks in English. These materials can be
    used individually or, as they share a core language and skills
    syllabus, can be used in a variety of combinations described later
    in this introduction. For an overview of all the Intelligent
    Business Elementary components, please see Fig. I.

    As well as sharing a common demand for Business English, both
    institutional and corporate learning environments are experiencing
    an increased demand for measurability. Today, both course tutors
    and training managers are under increasing pressure to measure and
    demonstrate progress and a return on the investment in Business
    English learning activities. As this is most effectively done using
    external, standardised and globally recognised examinations,
    Intelligent Business Elementary is benchmarked against the
    Cambridge Business English Certificate (BULATS) Preliminary
    level.

    Finally, any Business English materials today need to draw on
    authentic sources and achieve a high degree of validity in the eyes
    of the learners and teachers who use them. Developed in
    collaboration with The Economist magazine, Intelligent Business
    draws on this rich source of authoritative and topical articles on
    the business world.

    Learn Business

    Teacher’s Book

    Learn Business refers to the components designed to be
    especially accessible to learners who may not have much business
    experience or knowledge. These components include the Intelligent
    Business Coursebook and Workbook. The Coursebook provides 100+
    hours of classroom-based teaching material divided into fifteen
    units. The course is built on an elementary grammar syllabus and
    uses plenty of authentic text to present grammar and vocabulary
    that is then extracted and practised in isolation.

    The Coursebook also includes a Career skills syllabus that
    develops key communicative skills to help people within any kind of
    organisational — not just a corporate — environment.

    In addition, the Coursebook includes Dilemma and Decision (case
    study-style problem-solving activities) and regular reviews. These
    are designed to review the key grammar and functional language
    developed within the unit.

  • INTELLIGENT BUSINESS (ELEMENTARY) TEACHER’S BOOK

    At the back of the book there is a grammar reference, a glossary
    with test and a Style guide — a pocket-sized 32-page booklet
    providing support on common forms of business correspondence such
    as email, letters and memos, along with general notes on
    organisation, style and accuracy. It also includes a selection of
    useful phrases for situations such as socialising, telephoning and
    meetings.

  • Do Business

    Do Business refers to the Intelligent Business Elementary Skills
    Book, which has been developed especially for busy employees who
    are on a company English language training programme. The Skills
    Book is a self-contained intensive Business English programme
    providing 30 hours of classroom-based material divided into five
    days of training. The course is aimed at small groups and built on
    a syllabus of key business skills such as telephoning, socialising
    and taking part in meetings. The language development work focuses
    on the functions and communicative strategies required to perform
    these skills effectively. Unlike in the Coursebook, target language
    is presented mostly through dialogues and other listening extracts.
    Students then perform similar tasks. The Skills Book follows the
    same core syllabus as the Coursebook so the same grammar and
    functions appear in the equivalent units of both books.

    The Skills Book has regular writing sections, a grammar
    reference with activities, and a strategies reference. There is
    also an interactive CD-ROM with the Skills Book that contains extra
    language practice and all the listening material for the book along
    with activities. There is also an extensive reference section for
    Grammar and a section on business strategies.

  • INTELLIGENT BUSINESS (ELEMENTARY) TEACHER’S BOOK

    General support

    The key Learn Business and Do Business components are supported
    by the Intelligent Business Elementary Teacher’s Book covering both
    Course book and Skills Book and the intelligent-business.org
    website.

    This Teacher’s Book is split into two sections: the first
    covering the Coursebook; and the second covering the Skills Book.
    Both sections provide step-by-step notes, answer key and background
    information, and at the end of each section there is a bank of
    photocopiable activities. At the back of the Teacher’s Book there
    are templates that can be used with the Coursebook or the Skills
    Book to help with writing and vocabulary practice.

    The Intelligent Business website is an entirely free supplement
    that provides resources for both learners and teachers. For
    learners there are review questions for each unit of the
    Coursebook, with which students can interactively measure their
    progress unit by unit. There is also the Premium Content that
    allows access to two free articles from the Economist.com
    subscription website. These articles are updated regularly. For
    teachers there are handy notes on ideas for making the most of
    authentic texts. The Teacher’s Guide to U sing Authentic Materials
    uses Economist texts to demonstrate useful teaching tips on how to
    exploit the Premium Content and similar articles from the
    press.

    The Test Master CD-ROM

    The Teacher’s Resource Book includes a Test Master CD-ROM which
    provides an invaluable testing resource to accompany the
    course.

    The tests are based strictly on the content of the corresponding
    level of Intelligent Business, providing a fair measure of
    students’ progress.

    An interactive menu makes it easy to find the tests you are
    looking for. Keys and audio scripts are provided to make marking
    the tests as

    straightforward as possible. Most tests come in A and B
    versions. This makes it easier for you to

    invigilate the test by making it harder for students to copy
    from each other. The audio files for the listening tests are
    conveniently located on the same

    CD-ROM.

    Types of test

    The Test Master CD-ROM contains five types oftest. Placement
    Testis Module Tests Progress Tests Mid Course Test End of Course
    Test

    Flexible

    You can print the tests out and use them as they are — or you
    can adapt them. You can use Microsoft Word to edit them as you wish
    to suit your teaching situation, your students or your syllabus.
    Here are some of the things you may wish to do. Delete or add
    exercises to make the test shorter or longer. Delete exercises or
    items which relate to points which you decided to skip. Add in
    exercises to cover extra content you introduced into the course.
    Edit exercises to make them harder or easier, or to introduce
    key

    vocabulary. Edit the format of exercises so that they are
    consistent with other exams

    that you use. Personalise the content of exercises to bring them
    to life. For example,

    incorporate the names of students in the class, other teachers
    in the school, famous people and places from your country …

    Use the audio scripts to create extra listening exercises — for
    example by removing words to create gap fills, adding options to
    create multiple choice exercises or introducing deliberate mistakes
    for the students to correct.

    Add in the name and/or logo of your school at the head of the
    test. Finally, save your new version on your hard drive.

    Using this CD-ROM

    The ideal way to use this CD-ROM is to treat it as a master.
    Copy the tests to the hard drive of your computer and bum the audio
    files to CD or copy them on to cassette. Test files The
    installation wizard will copy the files to your hard drive. Audio
    files If you don’t have a CD burner or if you prefer to teach
    with

    cassettes, you can simply put the Test Master CD-ROM into the CD
    drive of an ordinary hi-fi and copy the audio files onto a blank
    cassette.

    Levels

    Test Master CD-ROM are available for all levels of Intelligent
    Business.

  • The Language of Intelligent Business All Elementary components
    of Intelligent Business are based on the same core syllabus. The
    syllabus is broken down into 15 units and covers three main
    strands: grammar, vocabulary and functional language. Although the
    different components emphasise different strands, they recycle and
    reaffirm all three key syllabus strands. Furthermore, the different
    components focus on different language skills in order to present
    the core syllabus. The Coursebook, for example, focuses on reading
    skills by introducing key grammar and vocabulary through authentic
    text, whereas the Skills Book focuses on listening skills by
    introducing functional language through transactional dialogues and
    meetings. The key productive skills of speaking and writing are
    covered extensively in both the Coursebook and Skills Book.

    1 Grammar The grammar content of the core syllabus is
    benchmarked against ALTE level I, Common European Framework level
    A2 and Cambridge BULATS. The syllabus balances the need for
    grammatical accuracy required to pass exams with the need for the
    functional language required to develop fluency and communicative
    competence quickly.

    Each unit of the core syllabus focuses on one or two grammatical
    structures. In grammar presentations examples of the target
    structure are drawn from the previous reading or listening text.
    The grammar is then highlighted and reviewed.

    The main presentation of grammar is found in the Coursebook. The
    approach encourage students to build on knowledge and regularly
    review and students are often asked to deduce information from
    examples before rules are given. After each grammar presentation
    there is both written and spoken practice with varying degrees of
    control, depending on the complexity of the grammar. The Workbook
    also provides plenty of self-study style grammar practice
    activities.

    There is an extensive Grammar reference in the back of both the
    Coursebook and Skills Book and on the Skills Book CD-ROM. The
    reference covers all the grammar from the core syllabus and extends
    the notes provided in the classroom material. As the Skills Book
    focuses on fluency and communicative effectiveness, there is little
    explicit grammar presentation within the classroom material.
    However, this material follows and recycles the core syllabus and
    the Skills Book CD-ROM provides a wealth of interactive grammar
    practice. Furthermore, the Grammar reference at the back of the
    Skills Book also includes integrated practice activities.

    2 Vocabulary In line with the Learn Business, Do Business
    concept of Intelligent Business, vocabulary is dealt with according
    to the different needs of the various learners who use the course.
    For students needing to learn business, the vocabulary focuses on
    topics that describe the basic structures and functions of the
    business world. These include jobs, departments, offices and
    marketing, etc. There are also topics relating to specific issues
    affecting today’s business world such as globalisation and rapid
    technological progress. Key vocabulary and concepts are introduced
    in the keynotes, defined, used in context and tested throughout the
    units. Students are encouraged to activate the vocabulary through
    speaking and writing activities such as the Dilemma & Decision
    problem-solving tasks that end each unit. Furthermore, these key
    items are listed in the Coursebook glossary along with definitions
    and collocations and each entry indicates the type of vocabulary
    (noun, adjective, adverb, verb, countable, uncountable etc). There
    is also an end of glossary vocabulary test. The Workbook provides
    further extensive recycling and consolidation of the key vocabulary
    covered in the Course book.

    For students needing to do business in English, the vocabulary
    focuses more on functional frameworks rather than individual
    topic-based items. The Skills Book What do you say? feature reviews
    communicative strategies and models effective examples through
    dialogues, presentations and meetings. These key phrases and
    frameworks are practised interactively on the CD-ROM and throughout
    the Skills Book classroom material.

    INTRODUCTION

    9

  • INTELLIGENT BUSINESS (ELEMENTARY) TEACHER’S BOOK

    3 Functional language As with the vocabulary, the functional
    language of the core syllabus is dealt with according to whether
    students need to learn or do business. For students with little
    experience of hard business skills such as presenting, negotiating
    and taking part in meetings, the Coursebook presents functional
    language through the Career skills feature. Here the language is
    given general relevance to anyone within an organisation, be it an
    academic institution or commercial company. These functions include
    talking about a project, discussing ideas, making arrangements and
    talking about trends. As with the grammar, items are modelled in
    context, highlighted and then practised. Further practice can be
    found in the Workbook.

    For students familiar with hard business skills, the functional
    language is presented in the context of traditional business skills
    such as meetings, telephone skills and interviews. Each Career
    skill from the Coursebook is transferred to the Skills Book as one
    of three business subskills in each unit and given a more overtly
    in-work treatment. The basic functional language is drawn from the
    core syllabus in both cases but extended and practised more
    extensively in the Skills Book. As the functional language is so
    vital for achieving fluency and effective communicative competence,
    it is the key syllabus strand for the Skills Book and practised
    extensively throughout. The CD-ROM provides further interactive
    support.

    10

  • Using Intelligent Business As all components are built on the
    core IS-unit elementary syllabus, the components can be used in
    various combinations that will consistently cover the same core
    grammar, skills and cultural issues at the same time. The following
    combinations are suggestions only and teachers may well wish to mix
    the various components differently or even all together.

    1 Extensive use Extensive courses delivered over a period of
    several weeks or even months are usually found in either tertiary
    institutes or weekly in-service programmes. Such courses can
    require over 100 hours of material and usually have linguistic
    knowledge as their goal — in the form of structures and vocabulary.
    The duration of these courses means that students require
    substantial practice and regular revision to consolidate what has
    already been processed. A typical Intelligent Business learning
    package for such students would include the Coursebook and
    Workbook. The Course book provides a large amount of language
    input, formal processing of grammar and plenty of written and
    spoken language practice. There are also reviews every three units.
    All key vocabulary items that students have to process in order to
    work through the Coursebook are collected in the unit-for-unit
    glossary at the back of the Coursebook. Each item includes synonyms
    and common collocations to help the student activate use of
    vocabulary. There is also a separate Glossary Test at the end of
    the section to provide another tool for assessing students’
    assimilation of the core language of the course.

    The Workbook provides further practice of the grammar,
    vocabulary and functional language presented in the equivalent
    Coursebook units. It also provides further skills work with many
    more Economist texts and listening exercises. There are
    BULATS-style tasks to prepare students either for the actual
    Cambridge exam or for the Practice Test at the back of the
    Workbook. As the Practice Test recycles many of the themes and
    vocabulary introduced in the Coursebook, it can be used as an
    end-of-course assessment. The Workbook is designed as a self-study
    component with its own key at the back and audio CD inside the back
    cover.

    Alternatively, if the language programme provides enough hours
    of classroom tuition, the Coursebook and Skills Book can be used
    together. As they are based on the same core syllabus and share the
    same 15-unit structure, the Skills Book can be used either
    immediately after the whole of the Coursebook or integrated on a
    unit-by-unit basis. The Workbook and Skills Book CD-ROM will both
    provide further practice and self-study.

    As already mentioned, the trend in the corporate Business
    English sector is for increasingly intensive tuition — but with
    even more pressure on measurable achievement. Typically, intensive
    courses are a week long and delivered to small groups or even
    individual managers. However, even shorter courses of 2-3 days and
    less are becoming more common. Many schools also provide hybrid
    courses where an extensive programme delivered over a period of
    months can have an intensive component built in where students will
    have a full-day of intensive tuition every so many weeks of
    extensive study.

    The Intelligent Business Skills Book follows the same core
    15-unit syllabus as the other components but groups them into 5
    blocks of three lessons each — making it perfectly compatible with
    a standard 5-day intensive programme. The Writing units at the end
    of each block provide self-study consolidation as does the CD-ROM
    (with plenty of practice activities). The CD-ROM also provides an
    option for programming in a self-access centre component to the
    course. The material is aimed at small groups of up to four
    students but can be used individually.

  • As the Skills Book is very much driven by speaking activities
    and performance of familiar business tasks, it is essential that
    students receive feedback on how well they complete these tasks in
    English. The summary at the end of each unit reminds students of
    the functional topics they have covered and encourages them to
    discuss any areas they would like to review. The Teacher’s Book
    also provides templates to assist in writing or vocabulary tasks.
    The teacher can use these to provide comments and direct students
    to appropriate materials for further practice.

    At the back of the Skills Book and on the CD-ROM there is an
    extensive grammar reference with practice activities (for students
    whose grammar is impeding their ability to complete the tasks
    successfully). The CD-ROM also includes many practice activities
    that target functional language.

    3 Exam preparation Although the Intelligent Business Elementary
    Course book is not an exam-specific preparation text, it has been
    developed to meet the criteria for length and difficulty of text
    applied to Cambridge BULATS Preliminary exam papers. There are also
    certain tasks that are similar to typical exam questions. The
    Coursebook will not prepare students in terms of exam awareness but
    it will give them an effective command of Business English at
    elementary / BULATS level.

    For students wishing to take an internationally recognised
    Business English exam at the end of their course, the Intelligent
    Business Elementary Workbook provides a variety of exam-specific
    material. The Workbook in particular provides plenty of practice
    material specifically targeted at the Cambridge BULATS exam. There
    is a complete and authentic Practice Test at the back of the book.
    The Listening Test is included on the audio CD.

    Working in a foreign country Language: to be Countries and
    nationalities; jobs Introducing yourself Who to interview?

    : This unit looks at situations where business people : meet new
    contacts. This can happen in many

    situations, such as meetings, presentations, conferences and
    training courses. When making initial contact, it is often
    necessary to ask and answer basic questions about your name,
    company and nationality. Much of this information is also included
    on business cards. But, depending on the country, business cards
    can carry far more cultural significance than the basic personal
    details noted on them. In Europe and the USA, business cards are
    often treated casually — they can be slipped into pockets without
    being read. However, in many other cultures business cards have
    greater importance and should be treated with respect, for example
    in Japan and China. It is always a good idea to research how and
    when business cards are presented in the country you are visiting
    (for example, at the beginning or end of a meeting?). If you are in
    a situation where you are unsure of specific business card
    etiquette, make a point of reading and commenting on the card when
    you are given it. Business cards are an invaluable internationally
    recognised tool when meeting new contacts and it is a good idea to
    have a plentiful supply. When travelling abroad on business, it is
    also a good idea to have the information printed in the language of
    the country you are visiting on one side of the card.

    Keynotes Before opening books write Global business on the
    board. Check Ss understanding and ask them to brainstorm the names
    of companies that have offices in different countries (for example
    rcr, Coca cola, Nokia, HSBC — check to see if Ss know what these
    companies do/make/sell etc). Open books and read through the
    keynotes with your class. Check that they understand the words in
    bold. Ask questions such

    UNIT 1

    as: How do you greet someone in English? What is your first
    name? What is your surname? If your students are in work you could
    also ask if they have business contacts in different countries and
    what their job title is. This is a good opportunity to introduce Ss
    to the glossary for this unit at the back of the book. Focus on the
    words from the Keynotes in the glossary. Try to elicit the meaning
    of the following: n (noun), (C) (countable noun), v (verb), adj
    (adjective).

    ~ Coursebook, Glossary, Unit 1, page 150 Preview Before opening
    books, show Ss your own business card or ask Ss if they have a
    business card. Elicit what it is. Get Ss to brainstorm what
    information we usually find on a business card.

    1 Open books and focus Ss on the example in exercise I. In pairs
    or individually, ask Ss to match the words in the box with items
    2-6 on the business card. Have a brief feedback session to check
    answers. You may also wish to ask Ss to name other famous companies
    and common qualifications.

    Optional activity 1 Draw a business card on the board with
    fictional

    information (name, address, company name, job title,
    qualifications). Ask Ss: What is his/her surname? What is his/her
    job title etc.

    2 Draw Ss attention to the example. Ask Ss to match the country
    with the information about business cards. Ask Ss if they agree
    with the information about the four countries. Ask Ss to
    demonstrate how they give and receive business cards in their
    country. Try to get Ss to identify similarities and differences
    between business cards in their country and the information about
    Switzerland, Mexico, China and the UK.

  • INTELLIGENT BUSINESS (ELEMENTARY) TEACHER’S BOOK: COURSEBOOK

    Spe~king This is the first speaking activity in the Course book,
    so Ss may need support to feel comfortable speaking to each other
    and to the class. Encourage Ss to speak English at all times during
    these activities as it will help build confidence and fluency. In
    one-to-one classes the teacher can discuss the question with the
    student. First check that Ss understand the question. In larger
    classes, ask Ss to discuss the question in pairs. Encourage Ss to
    use words and body actions to show greetings (e.g. bowing, waving).
    Have a brief feedback session to compare ideas.

    Reading Point to the headline (Working in aforeign country) and
    elicit the meaning offoreign country (different country). Before Ss
    read point out that they are not expected to understand every word
    in the article. There is a glossary to help Ss with some of the
    words. Carlos Ghosn’s surname is pronounced with a silent hand s
    (Ghone to rhyme with phone). Read the text with the whole class.
    Elicit answers to exercise 1 together. Before Ss read the text
    again, demonstrate the meaning of true and false (e.g. Carlos Ghosn
    is Brazilian — true, Carlos Ghosn is American — false). Now ask Ss
    to read the text again and answer the questions in exercise 2 with
    a partner.

    1 2 Renault, Nissan 3 Tokyo 4 London, Paris, Brussels 5 India
    (Tokyo is mentioned in paragraph 1, so Japan could also be
    considered correct) 2 2 true 6 true

    Speaking

    3 true 7 true

    4 true 8 false

    5 false

    Get a student to ask you the question and answer it to
    demonstrate. Ask Ss to discuss the questions in pairs or small
    groups. In one-to-one classes the teacher can discuss the question
    with the student. You could extend the activity by asking Ss to
    rank their favourite countries to work in. If appropriate Ss could
    also discuss countries they would not like to work in.

    Vocabulary D 1 Ask Ss to look again at the article on page 9 and
    identify

    the countries and nationalities named in it. Now Ss use the
    countries and nationalities to complete questions 1-5 in the table.
    For questions 6-12 you may wish Ss to use dictionaries. Ask check
    questions (A person from Brazil

    16

    is … 7 An American is from … 7). Draw attention to the
    information about the countries in the UK. Ask Ss to identify the
    nationality of the four countries (English, Scottish, Welsh,
    Irish).

    2 Ss quickly read the article again and complete the information
    about continents. Elicit the names of the other continents.

    1 2 Brazilian 3 the USA

    8 China

    4 the UKI(Great) Britain 5 India

    9 Poland 16 Japanese 11 Russia 12 Kuwaiti 6 Spanish

    7 German

    2 1 European 2 Asia Other continents: Africa! African America!
    American Australasia! Australasian

    Working English The Working English boxes contain information
    that is helpful to the topic of the lesson. They include vocabulary
    or grammar extension. For some Ss the information will be new and
    for others it will be revision. Draw Ss attention to the different
    ways of talking about nationality. Ask Ss to practise saying their
    nationality in different ways. Use prompts from the countries and
    nationality table to elicit responses (e.g. T: Russia, Sl: I’mfrom
    Russia, S2: I’m Russian).

    Teacher’s Book, Templates, page 171

    Teacher’s Book, Vocabulary record sheet, page 176

    Vocabulary D 3 Draw Ss’ attention to the example. Then ask Ss to
    work individually and choose the correct word in italics. Check
    answers together.

    Speaking 1 Check that Ss are familiar with the companies in the
    list. If

    they do not know the company ask them to guess what nationality
    it is. Shanghai Tang Chinese Michelin French General Motors
    Aeroflot Marks & Spencer Banco de Bilbao Sanyo

    American Russian British Spanish Japanese

    You may wish to brainstorm more companies and ask Ss to say the
    nationality.

  • 2 Get Ss to ask you the question and answer to demonstrate. In
    pairs Ss take it in turns to ask and answer the questions. Then Ss
    change partners and practise again. This time, encourage Ss to make
    use of the other phrases to talk about nationality from the Working
    English box.

    Language check D Students who have recently completed a
    beginner’s Course book or have studied English before can use this
    grammar section as revision. Read the examples together and point
    out that they are from the article on page 9. Ask Ss to work with a
    partner and use the examples to complete the table. This would be a
    good opportunity to introduce your class to the grammar reference
    at the back of the Coursebook. Check answers together.

    1 is Practice

    5 Are you an accountant? 6 Is Emtrack a Polish company?

    Optional activity Write sentences on the board, e.g.:

    Renault is a French company.

    5 Is

    And elicit the negative and question form and the short
    answer:

    Renault isn’t a Spanish company. Is Renault a French company?
    Yes, it is.

    Coursebook, Grammar reference: to be, page 158

    Practice Ask Ss to complete the sentences with the correct form
    of the verb to be. Then get Ss to compare answers before checking
    together as a class.

    UNIT 1

    Optional activity 1 Bring in magazine pictures of famous
    business

    people. Preferably a selection of individuals, pairs and groups.
    Put Ss in pairs. Give each pair a selection of pictures and ask
    them to write questions (e.g. Is he the head o/Virgin? Are they
    German?). Feedback as a class or ask Ss to swap pictures with
    another pair and ask and answer the questions.

    2 Ss can also ask and answer questions about people in the class
    (e.g. Q: Is Lara Russian? A: No she isn ‘t, she’s French.).

    3 Ask Ss to write three true and three false sentences about
    famous business people or companies (e.g. Richard Branson is
    American; Fuji is a Spanish company). Read the sentences to a
    partner who says if the information is true or not and, if
    possible, correct the false information (Richard Branson isn’t
    American, he’s British; Fuji isn’t a Spanish company, it’s
    Japanese. etc).

    Listening D In this listening, Ss are not listening for
    information, they listen to check their answers. Set the context of
    the conversation. Ask Ss if they go to conferences. Can they
    suggest good locations for conferences in their city or town? Then
    ask Ss to complete the conversation with the correct form of the
    verb to be. Play the listening for Ss to check. Ask if this is the
    first time that John and Ron meet (yes). Encourage Ss to practise
    the conversation. You may wish to ask Ss to practise the
    conversation again using their real names.

    2am 8 Are

    3 ‘m 9 ‘m not

    4 Is 5 ‘s 10 ‘m

    Language check D

    6 ‘re 7am

    Check that your Ss know what a noun is (a naming word for a
    person, place or thing). Focus on the examples and elicit answers
    to the questions. Ss will do further work on articles in Unit
    3.

    1 a 2 an

    Coursebook, Grammar reference: Articles, page 158

    Vocabulary D 1 Focus Ss on the words in the box. Elicit whether
    the nouns

    take a or an. Then ask Ss to call out more jobs. Write these on
    the board and ask Ss to say if they take a or an.

    2 Ss match a job from the box to the sentences. Point out that
    not all the sentences need a/an.

    lan aQcountant, a:r

  • 3 Ask Ss to complete the phrases from the listening. Then match
    the phrases with the functions a-c. Play the conversation again for
    Ss to check.

    2 1 spell a 2 Sorry — c 3 That’s — b

    Listening II 1 Ask Ss to listen and decide if this is Jan and
    Ben’s first or

    second meeting. 2 Play the conversation again and ask Ss to fill
    in the

    missing words. Check answers together. Ask Ss to practise the
    conversation with a partner.

    1 first meeting 2 1 I’m 2 Nice 3 company 4 And you 5 with 6
    engineer 7 manager 8 French 9 British

    Speaking Take time to set up the role play and make sure that Ss
    understand what they need to do. Divide the class into pairs and
    ask Ss A to turn to page 147 and Ss B to turn to page 149. Student
    A starts the conversation. Ss use the business cards to role-playa
    conversation similar to the one in Listening 4. Less confident Ss
    may prefer to write the conversation first. If so, encourage them
    to role-play the conversation again without using their notes. You
    could ask Ss to practise the conversation again using real
    information.

    Dilemma Ask Ss to name some business magazines (e.g. The
    Economist). If you have any business magazines bring in examples.
    Tell Ss that they are going to read about a magazine called
    Business Focus. Read the brief together. Clarify any unfamiliar
    words and check that Ss understand what they need to do.

    Task 1: Divide the class into two groups ask group A to turn to
    page 137 and group B to turn to page 14l. In their groups, Ss
    prepare questions to ask to complete information about either Amita
    Singh (female) or Philip Treanor (male). Circulate and help where
    necessary.

    Task 2: Ss work in small groups (with an equal number of people
    from group A and B). This task is an information gap activity. Ss
    ask and answer the questions they used in Task 1 to complete the
    information about Amita or Philip. Ss that have already done
    photocopiable resource 1.1 should be encouraged to use phrases to
    check or clarify spelling where necessary. Ask Ss to check their
    answers by looking at their partner’s information.

    Task 3: Draw Ss attention to the covers of the last three issues
    of Business Focus. Go over the Useful phrases with the

    UNIT 1

    class. If the groups need direction to start the conversation,
    ask questions about the person being interviewed in each issue:
    (e.g. In issue one is it a man or a woman? What country is he from?
    What is his job? What country is the company in?). Give Ss a time
    limit (about five minutes) to decide which person, Amita or Philip,
    is the best person to interview for next month’s copy of Business
    Focus.

    Decision Ask Ss to listen to Frank Black (the editor of Business
    Focus magazine) talk about the person he chose to interview. Ask:
    Who does he want to interview? (Amita Singh), What reasons does he
    give for his decision? (Issues 1, 2 and 3 are all men from Europe
    or the USA; She is CEO of an Asian company).

    Write it up This exercise is an introduction to writing a short,
    informal email. This is a good opportunity to introduce Ss to the
    Style Guide at the back of their Coursebook. Point out that in the
    Write it up exercises in the coursebook, Ss do not need to agree
    with the opinion in the Decision listening, they can use their own
    opinion or the decision that they decided on in their group. Check
    that Ss know what information to include in their email to Frank
    Black (the name of the person they want to interview and some
    information about the person’s job and company). There are two
    possible ways to approach the writing task:

    1 Ss could prepare the email in class, individually or with a
    partner.

    2 Ss could write it for homework and compare their answer with a
    partner next lesson before handing it in to be marked.

    Ss can also use the Writing preparation template at the back of
    their book. Draw Ss attention to the informal opening of the email
    (Hi Frank) which signals that it is more informal than a business
    letter. Elicit ideas how the email could end (Best wishes,
    Regards).

    Vocabulary: Career skills:

    UNIT OBJECTIVES

    Teams with bright ideas Present simple affirmative; frequency
    adverbs Departments Introducing others

    Dilemma & Decision: A new team member

    This unit looks at teams and teamwork. In it Ss consider what
    makes a good team member as well as different types of teams (big
    and small, formal and informal, international and departmental). In
    modern business, teamwork is increasingly important at all levels
    of an organisation. Modern technology helps international teams to
    communicate through email, video conferences and telephone. A good
    team leader makes sure that the team members have a clear aim and
    an achievable goal. The success of the team often depends on how
    the individuals operate as te.am members: how well they
    communicate, share information and support each other.

    Keynotes Read through the keynotes with your class. Check that
    Ss understand the words in bold. Ask them to say any sports teams
    that they know. Can Ss think of any other types of team in their
    work or college? Ask: What types of communication can a team use?
    (e.g. phone, email, speaking to each other directly), What do the
    Keynotes say a team leader does? (organises team members and
    listens to their opinions). Can Ss think of any other things a good
    team leader does?

    ~ Coursebook, Glossary, Unit 2, page 150 Preview Before opening
    books, write Toyota on the board. Elicit what your Ss know about
    the company. Ask questions such as: What does Toyota make? (cars),
    What nationality is the company? (Japanese). 1 Ask Ss to open their
    book and read the information about

    Toyota. Check that Ss understand any unfamiliar vocabulary (e.g.
    team member, respect). Ask check questions such as: What does a
    good team member do? (helps and respects other team members,
    discusses different opinions in a polite way).

    20

    2 You could ask Ss to discuss this in pairs or small groups
    before sharing ideas with the whole class. (Other things a good
    team member might do: listen, talk about ideas, be friendly, work
    hard, share information etc).

    Listening 1 Introduce the listening by encouraging Ss to think
    about different types of team (big, small, departmental,
    international, formal, informal etc). Tell Ss they will hear two
    people speaking about their teams. Play the first part of the
    listening and ask: Who is speaking Katya or Graham? (Katya). Play
    the first part again and ask Ss to choose a or b to make true
    sentences for Katya. Play the second part again and Ss do the same
    for Graham. Check answers around the class.

    Ib la 3b 4b Sb 6b 7a 8b

    Speaking 1 Ss work individually and look at sentences 1-8 again.
    This

    time they should choose option a or b to make true sentences
    about what they think about working in a team. Focus on the example
    .

    2 Draw attention to the example and ask Ss to identity the word
    that we use when we give reasons (because). Briefly, tell Ss about
    the type of team you like to work on and give reasons. With a
    partner, Ss say their ideas. Circulate and encourage them to give
    reasons for their answers. Ask Ss if they even like working as part
    of a team, or if it is sometimes better to work alone and why.

    3 In the same pairs, Ss tell their partner about teams that they
    have experience of through college, work or in sport. Encourage Ss
    to say what the like and don’t like about working in a team. You
    may wish to tell Ss that being asked about teamwork is a very
    common interview question.

    Reading Ask Ss: What is the headline of the article? What words
    are in the glossary? What word does paragraph 3 start with?

    1 This exercise encourages Ss to skim the text for meaning.
    Explain that this means reading the text quickly, without stopping
    to check every word that they don’t understand. Instead Ss are
    reading for context and general meaning. This is a useful skill in
    business in general where Ss may need to read different types of
    documents. It is also a skill that is used in many types of exam.
    Ask Ss to read the article again and elicit the answer.

  • 2 Ss match the information to the paragraph numbers 1—4. Ss do
    not need to read the whole text again at this stage, but encourage
    them to look at individual paragraphs in more detail to check their
    answers.

    3 Read the statements with the class and clarify meaning where
    necessary. Ask Ss to read the article again slowly. Now Ss decide
    if the statements are true or false and compare their answers with
    a partner. Elicit answers around the class.

    Ic 2 interesting places for teams to meet 4 groups of colleagues
    3 modem technology 2 people who need to be good team members 1 3 2F
    3F 4T 5T 6F

    Speaking Ask Ss where business teams usually meet (in an office
    or work building). Ask Ss why it is a good idea for teams to meet
    outside work sometimes (they can get new ideas in a new place; they
    don’t need to answer the phone or emails etc). In small groups ask
    Ss to suggest unusual places to meet. It is a good idea if the
    group nominates someone to note down ideas. Give Ss a time limit
    for the ideas stage (two or three minutes). Now ask groups to look
    at their ideas and choose the one they like best. Ask them to think
    of reasons (if necessary remind Ss to use because). Have a brief
    feedback session and encourage Ss to tell the class about their
    idea and the reason they think it is a good place to meet. The
    class could vote for the idea that they think is best.

    Vocabulary 1 This vocabulary focuses on company departments. In
    the definitions there is also a selection of verbs which you may
    wish to exploit further as an extension to the exercise. You could
    ask Ss to underline the verbs in the definition, elicit meaning and
    ask Ss to look up any unfamiliar words.

    1 Ss match the departments and the definitions. Nominate a
    student to read out a definition and another to match it to one of
    the departments. Encourage Ss to add any departments that they know
    to the list.

    2 In the last unit, Ss wrote an email in the Dilemma &
    Decision. In this unit you can revise emails by asking: Who wrote
    the email? (Vanessa), Who is it to? (Patrick), What is it about? (a
    new digital camera), How does the writer start and end the email?
    (Hi, Thanks). Ask Ss to work with a partner and complete the email
    by using departments from the last exercise. Check answers around
    the class.

    Vocabulary 2 Ask Ss to look back at the article on page 17 and
    identify any words in the box (directors, CEO, colleagues,
    employees, manager). 1 Now ask Ss to say which of the words are
    used for

    managers in a company. Ask Ss to identify the most formal word
    to describe people who work in a company (personnel). Ask SS which
    word is an informal word to talk about your manager (boss).

    2 Now Ss use the words to complete the sentences. Ask Ss to
    compare answers with a partner before checking answers with the
    class.

    I Management: directors, CEO, manager, boss

    2 2 colleagues . 3 directors 4 manager 5 staff 6 boss

    Optional activity You could check that Ss know what the letters
    in CEO stand for. Elicit/write on the board any other job titles Ss
    know. Ask Ss to call out ideas for what the letters stand for: CEO
    (Chief Executive Officer) MD (Managing Director) CFO (Chief
    Financial Officer) CIO (Chief Information Officer) CCO (Chief
    Communications Officer)

  • INTELLIGENT BUSINESS (ELEMENTARY) TEACHER’S BOOK: COURSEBOOK

    Working English Use this as revision for Ss who already know how
    to tell the time and as an introduction for Ss who are coming to it
    for the first time. Nominate Ss to say the different ways of
    telling the time. Draw Ss attention to the use of the preposition
    at when saying the time. Read the remaining information in the box
    with students and clarify where necessary. You may wish to tell Ss
    that am/pm is often used when writing and 0 ‘clock, half past etc
    are usually used when speaking. Point out that we don’t use am/pm
    with the twelve-hour clock (for example, we can say six thirty pm
    but not halfpast six pm). You could also draw clock faces on the
    board to demonstrate quarter to and quarter past the hour. Drill
    how to say these. Draw a selection of times (in particular o
    ‘clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to the hour but also
    any other times useful to your students) and ask Ss to say the
    time. You may also wish to ask a few Ss questions about what time
    they normally do thing~ (start/finish their English lesson
    etc).

    Speaking This is a good opportunity to revise/teach parts of the
    day (morning, afternoon, evening, night) and meals (breakfast,
    lunch, dinner) if appropriate for your class. 1 Ss match the
    sentences with the times. Check answers

    around the class.

    2 Tell the class when you have meals and elicit times of meals
    around the class (if your class is monolingual they can talk about
    meal times in other countries they have visited).

    Ie 2f 3a 4d 5c 6b

    Optional activity Draw six clock faces with the times that you
    do these activities: get up, go to work, have lunch, come home,
    have dinner, go to bed etc. At this stage do not say or write the
    actions, only the times. First ask Ss to say the times on the board
    and guess what you do then. If Ss need prompts read out one of the
    actions above and ask Ss to say when you do these. Say what you do
    at these times (get up, go to work, have lunch, come home, have
    dinner, go to bed etC) and ask Ss to match the time with when you
    do each activity.

    Listening 2 Before starting the listening exercise, you may wish
    to look at the tape script to see if there are any words that may
    be unfamiliar to your class. If so, pre-teach/elicit before Ss
    listen.

    1 Ask Ss to say what time people usually start and finish work.
    Tell Ss they will hear Doug Scott talk about his job. Ask Ss to
    listen for the time he starts and finishes work. Ss listen and
    answer the questions. Ask: What is unusual about Doug’s work hours?
    (he works at night).

    2 Play the recording again. Ss choose the correct answer a-c to
    complete the sentences about Doug. Ask Ss to compare answers before
    checking with the whole class.

    I starts 6:30pm finishes 1 :30am 2 a 3 b 4a 5 c 6 b

    Speaking Make sure that Ss understand that they are not talking
    about the real time they start work (or college) but an imaginary
    time they would like to start Ifinish work. You could also ask Ss:
    What do we call work that is extra to normal work hours?
    (overtime). Draw attention to the examples. Ask Ss to think about
    the question individually and then discuss their answer with a
    partner.

    Optional activity Photocopiable resource 2.1:

    Time Bingo (page 95) Ask Ss to work in groups of between three
    and five. Photocopy and cut up the caller cards and the four bingo
    cards as indicated. Give one student a set of caller cards and give
    a bingo card to the other Ss in the group. Write the following
    times on the board and check Ss understand how to say them:

    10:00 (ten o’clock) 9: 15 (nine fifteen) 12:30 (twelve thirty)
    The caller turns over a card and says the time. If another person
    in the group has the time that the caller says, he or she crosses
    it out on the card (or covers it with a piece of paper). When all
    the times on the card are covered, the student calls out Bingo.

    Language check 1 Close books. You may wish to use examples from
    the earlier time telling exercise to introduce the present simple.
    Write some on the board, e.g.:

    I start work at 8:30am. Mia starts college at 10am. We start the
    lesson at 3pm.

    Ask: What letter do we add to the verb in the he/she/itform?
    (answer: s) Ask Ss to open their books. Read through the examples
    together. Elicit answers to the questions. For Ss who are

  • learning the present simple for the first time, you can refer Ss
    to the information in the Grammar reference at the back of the
    book. You can also elicit all forms of the verbs work and have and
    write these on the board.

    Practice Check that Ss understand the meaning of the verbs in
    the box. Ask the class to say the verbs to check pronunciation.
    Point out that the numbers next to the verbs in the box show how
    many times they are used in the text. Ask Ss to read through the
    text completely before answering the questions. After this, Ss can
    complete the exercise with the correct form of the verb. Check
    answers together.

    1 Tell Ss that frequency adverbs say how often things happen.
    Check Ss know meaning offrequency. Read the information together
    and ask Ss to underline the frequency adverbs in the examples. Ask
    Ss what other frequency adverbs they know (e.g. never). Point to
    each sentence and ask: In this sentence is the frequency adverb
    before or after the verb?

    2 Ask Ss to look at the examples again complete the rule with
    before or after. Check answers together. Ask Ss if they know any
    other frequency adverbs (never, occasionally, rarely etc).

    Ask Ss to put often, sometimes and usually next to either a, b
    or c. (a usually; b often; c sometimes)

    UNIT 2

    Speaking Go through the activities and make sure Ss understand
    them. Write on the board:

    (often) (sometimes)

    I play sport I’m late for appointments

    Ask Ss to put the frequency adverbs in the right place in the
    sentences (l often play sport; I’m sometimes late for
    appointments). Ask students to work individually at first and read
    through the activities and decide how often they do each thing. Ss
    do not have to tell the truth in the activity, they can use their
    imagination. Then Ss tell their partner how often he or she does
    each activity. Brainstorm other activities (try to include some
    examples that use be, e.g. be in a team at work/college; be out at
    the weekend; be early for class etc).

    Alternative activity For stronger classes, instead of making
    sentences about his or herself, each student answers for hislher
    partner, e.g. I think you often go to meetings/always get up early
    etc. Ss listen and say if their partner’s statement is correct or
    incorrect

    Career skills Ask Ss to think of situations where they need to
    introduce other people (meetings, visitors to the company etc).
    Read through the information and check that Ss understand the
    phrases. Demonstrate by introducing two students. Include some
    information about each of the students in the introduction.

    Working English 1 Ask Ss what titles people have in their
    language (e.g.

    for a man, a married woman, an unmarried woman etc). Ask Ss to
    look at the titles and spend a little time practicing
    pronunciation, in particular Mr (mister), Ms (mizz) and Mrs
    (missus). Ask Ss which name does not have a title (Tony Jones) and
    which two titles are not possible in English. Some women prefer to
    use the title Ms in business and for correspond~nce as it is
    neutral (in the same way that Mr is) and does not indicate whether
    they are married or unmarried.

    2 Now Ss match the five correct titles with the definitions. Ask
    one student to read out the definition and another to say the
    title.

    1 Tell Ss they will hear a team leader introducing two new team
    members. Read through the questions then play the conversation. Ss
    complete the sentences. Check answers around the class.

    2 Ask Ss to look at the phrases in the box above and tick the
    ones the speakers use as they listen again. You may wish to ask Ss
    to turn to the audioscript on page 164 of the Coursebook to read
    the conversation in groups of three.

    1 :&’.~ t,~ 1 ,a.~e;, f

    Speaking 1 Ss work in groups of three. If you are in a
    one-to-one

    lesson, you take one of the roles and bring in a magazine photo
    or draw a person on the board as the third person. If Ss wish to
    write the conversation first, allow them to do so. But encourage Ss
    to do the role play without reading their notes. Each group role
    plays the introduction three times, taking turns to be the person
    making the introductions.

    2 Now ask Ss to work in another group of three and take turns
    making introductions using real names and information.

    Dilemma Read the brief together and clarify any unfamiliar
    words. Check that Ss understand the aim of the task. Ask check
    questions such as: Which office has the most team members?
    (Australia), How many members are from the Japan office? (one), How
    do the team usually communicate? (email and video conference),
    Where do they usually meet? (London or Sydney). Task 1: Ask Ss to
    work in pairs. Each pair reads information about a person who wants
    to join the team. Pair A turns to page 137, pair B to 141 and pair
    C to 145. Ss should read and make notes using the prompts.
    Circulate and help where necessary.

    Task 2: Now Ss work in groups of three. One person from each
    group should have read information A, B or C. Each Student uses
    their notes to tell the other members of their group about their
    person.

    Task 3: In the same groups, Ss talk about the three people and
    decide which one should be in the team. Draw attention to the
    Useful phrases box and encourage Ss to give reasons for their
    opinion. Remind Ss to use because (e.g. I think Laura is a good
    choice because she is Australian and the meetings are in
    Australia). Ss should agree on which person to have in the
    team.

    24

    Decision Ask Ss to listen to Craig Hislop talk about the person
    he thinks should join the team. Before you play the recording, ask
    Ss who they think he chooses. After listening, ask Ss if they agree
    with his choice. What reasons does he give?

    Write it up This exercise is an introduction to writing a short
    memo. Look together at the section on memos in the Style Guide at
    the back of the Course book. Check that Ss consider the following:
    The memo is to Craig Hisop. A memo does not need a greeting (not
    Dear Mr Hi/sop). It usually includes a subject line and date. Memos
    are often formal or semi-formal, so write full

    sentences without contractions. It does not need an ending (not
    Regards etc) but

    sometimes has the writers initials (e.g. HM). Check that Ss are
    clear what information this memo should contain (the name,
    department and international office of the person you want to join
    the team and the reason why you think he/she is a good choice).
    Draw Ss attention to the prompts to structure their memo.

    The writing exercise can be given for homework or done as a
    class activity. If it is completed in class, set a time limit (ten
    minutes) and ask Ss to swap memos with a partner to check. Collect
    the memos in to check whether there are any areas of grammar or
    vocabulary that need revision in the next lesson.

  • Unit 3: Companies

    UNIT OBJECTIVES

    Reading: Language:

    Vocabulary: Career skills: Dilemma & Decision:

    Look east Present simple negative, question and short answer;
    articles Word families Company information Which company to
    buy?

    This unit looks at companies and considers three different
    sectors that can describe a company’s activities: Manufacturing — a
    company that makes or produces

    goods (e.g. car companies, clothing manufacturers,
    pharmaceutical companies, factories)

    Retail — a company that sells things in a shop or on the
    internet (e.g. food, clothes, electrical goods)

    Services — a company that provides services that customers or
    other companies buy (banks, insurance,

    travel, call-centres) In the past, many big companies were
    involved

    primarily in the manufacturing sector but in modern business the
    service sector is increasingly profitable. A recent trend in both
    the manufacturing and service sectors is that many companies
    outsource part of the work, often abroad where it can be carried
    out more profitably. The retail sector has also been influenced by
    modern technology. The internet provides opportunities for
    entrepreneurs to start internet companies from home, cutting the
    cost of overheads (renting a shop or retail outlet). In the article
    in this unit, Ss look at an Italian sunglasses company called
    Luxottica which operates in the manufacturing and retail
    sectors.

    Keynotes Ask Ss to think of the names of companies (for example,
    Renault, HSBC, Harrods etc). If Ss need prompting, ask for
    suggestions for specific types of company such as computer, car,
    bank or shop. Read through the keynotes with your class. Check that
    they understand the words in bold. Draw Ss’ attention to the
    glossary for this unit at the back of the book.

    Coursebook, Glossary, Unit 3, page 150

    Preview

    1 Point to the pictures and see if Ss can identify anything in
    the pictures. Ask Ss to label the pictures with the words in the
    box.

    2 In the Keynotes, Ss saw the words manufacturing, retail,
    services and sector. Check that Ss understood these words before
    asking them to do exercise 2. Ask Ss to work with a partner and do
    the exercise. In pairs or small groups, Ss add more examples. Have
    a feedback session to check and add more examples on the board. You
    could also ask Ss to think about the companies that they named at
    the start of the lesson. Which sector do they go in?

    Speaking Tell the class about the different industries in your
    home town. If you are from the same city as your Ss, talk about
    another city that you have visited. Ask Ss to work in pairs/small
    groups and talk about the industries in their home town or city. If
    Ss are all from the same plac~ they can talk about another town or
    city that they know (In Shanghai, there is a … ). Try to get Ss
    to expand on their answers about the different industries they
    described above, e.g.: I use X bank because it s near my house. I
    go to X supermarket because it has good brands. The factory makes
    clothes!cars etc.

    Reading Introduce the subject by pointing to the picture and
    asking: What do you think the company in the article
    manufactures?

    25

  • INTELLIGENT BUSINESS (ELEMENTARY) TEACHER’S BOOK: COURSEBOOK

    Elicit sunglasses (Luxottica also makes ordinary glasses). Ask
    Ss to name any other famous sunglasses brands they can think of
    (e.g. Ray Ban, Guess, Police, Gucci etc).

    Ask Ss to read through the questions and guess which one is the
    subject of the article. Now ask Ss to skim read the article (read
    quickly, without looking up unfamiliar words) to see if they were
    right.

    2 Read though the questions and check understanding. Ask Ss to
    read the article again more slowly. Draw attention to the glossary.
    Ss answer the questions and check answers with a partner.

    3 Get Ss to see what they can remember from the article by
    matching the numbers and information in the exercise before
    checking their answers by reading again. You may wish to ask your
    class to say the numbers in the exercise (if necessary, give
    support with % percentage, and pound). Students will have an
    opportunity to revise numbers later in the unit (page 28). Ask
    check questions about the article such as: Does Luxottica have a
    competitor? (yes, Safilo), What is the difference between Luxottica
    and Safilo? (Safilo has 50 shops, Luxoticca has 5,500), How many
    challenges does Luxottica have in the future? (two), What are they?
    (I — more shops in China, 2 — the next chairperson).

    Speaking In this exercise communicating ideas is more important
    than accuracy. You may wish to note areas that Ss need help with,
    but it is a good idea to keep correction to a minimum during the
    task Speaking exercises I and 2 are more challenging than those in
    earlier units as they require Ss to give opinions rather than list
    ideas. You can help Ss by asking them to spend a minute thinking of
    family companies and multinationals that they know. Brainstorm the
    names of companies and write them on the board. Ask Ss to
    categorise which companies are multinationals and which are family
    companies. Ask: Which companies do you think pay their workers
    most? Which companies do you think are good to their workers?

    1 Now that you have helped set up the task, allow Ss time to
    think about their ideas. Elicit/teach any language Ss may need
    (e.g. A family company is .. , but a multinational

    26

    is … ). Now Ss share their opinions with their partner or a
    small group.

    2 Ss think about the question both as an employee and from a
    company perspective. So it may help to do this exercise in two
    stages. Encourage Ss to give reasons for their opinions whenever
    possible.

    3 In their pairs/groups, Ss think of three more luxury goods
    companies. Have a feedback session and write the companies on the
    board and then elicit what each one makes or sells.

    Vocabulary Briefly revise the difference between a verb and a
    noun by writing on the board:

    We buy all our products }rom a producer in Taiwan. They produce
    computers.

    Ask: Which words are verbs? (buy, produce); Which noun is a
    person? (producer); Which noun is a thing? (producer). 1 Ss will
    have seen many of the words in the table in the

    reading in this lesson and from previous units. Explain that a
    noun is sometimes different if it describes a person or a thing.
    Focus Ss on the example. Ask Ss to work with a partner and complete
    the table. They can use a good dictionary, if this is helpful.

    2 This is a controlled practice where Ss are given a choice from
    two words in the table to complete the sentences. Check by asking
    different Ss to read the sentences.

    3 Ss have a freer practice in this exercise. Encourage them to
    read through the whole text before choosing words from the table to
    complete it.

    Listening 1 I Tell Ss that they will hear a telephone
    conversation

    between two people who work for a training company. Check that
    Ss know what a training company is (a company that shows managers
    and employees how to do things, e.g. use new computer software,
    work in a team etc). Have they been on a training course? If not,
    do they want to? If yes, what would they like to learn? Ask Ss to
    predict what phrases they might hear in a telephone conversation.
    Play the conversation and ask Ss to say how many people are on the
    course. Did they hear any of the telephone phrases they
    predicted?

  • 2 Now Ss listen again and choose the correct option a-c. They
    are usually listening for specific information, in particular
    letters and numbers. When checking answers you could pause the
    conversation in the correct place and elicit answers.

    3 These are sentences from the telephone conversation and
    include useful phrases for answering the telephone, checking
    information and asking for repetition. Ss put the sentences in the
    correct order and then listen to the conversation again to
    check.

    Language check 1 Ss looked at the present simple affirmative in
    the last unit. You may wish to spend a few moments reviewing the
    verbs and form of the present simple affirmative. Focus Ss on the
    examples (they are all about Luxottica or its founder). Ask Ss to
    identify which example sentences are questions (a, c, e, g). Draw
    Ss attention to the difference between and open and closed
    question. Example a is closed (it requires only a ‘yes’ or ‘no’
    answer), example c is an open question (it requires a longer
    answer). Point out that in conversation we can start \ith a closed
    question but then we usually move on to open questions to keep the
    conversation going. Now ask Ss to identify a negative sentence in
    the examples (d, h) and short answers (b, f). On the board write:
    Do you live in Asia? Where do you live? I don’t live in Asia.

    Does she live in Europe? JJhere does she live? She doesn’t live
    in Asia

    Demonstrate that in questions and negatives it is the auxiliary
    -erb (do) which changes form, not the main verb (live). ~ow ask Ss
    to look at the example sentences again and complete the table with
    the correct form of do (auxiliary verb) and check answers with the
    class.

    ~ Coursebook, Grammar reference: Present simple negative,
    question and short answer, page 158

    IdBB~t< 6-Does

    UNIT 3

    Practice In these exercises Ss focus first on the negative form
    and then the question and negative form together before extending
    their question words in exercise 3.

    1 Ask Ss to read the sentences. Draw attention to the example.
    Ask Ss to re-write the remaining sentences in the negative.

    2 Ask Ss: Do the two people in the dialogue know each other or
    are they meeting for the first time? (meeting for the first time).
    Ask Ss to complete the dialogue and then practise it with a
    partner. Circulate and check any areas where Ss may need more
    help.

    3 Draw Ss’ attention to the question words. Ask if they know any
    others (e.g. When, Why). Ask Ss to complete each of the questions
    with one of the question words. In pairs, Ss take turns asking and
    answering the questions.

  • INTELLIGENT BUSINESS (ELEMENTARY) TEACHER’S BOOK: COURSEBOOK

    Language check 2 In previous lessons Ss have come across a/an.
    Now these articles are contrasted with the. Articles can be a
    problem even at high levels. At elementary level we introduce
    simple information about articles and their use. Ask Ss: Is
    Luxottica a service company? Elicit the answer and write on the
    board: Luxottica is 1! manufacturing and 1! retail company. Draw Ss
    attention to the examples in the Coursebook. Complete the rules
    with the class.

    ~ Coursebook Grammar reference: Articles, page 158 Practice Ss
    complete the sentences with a, an and the. Check answers around the
    class. Focus on the ‘the’ answers and ask Ss why they chose their
    answer (1 — there is only one queen of England, 2 — there is only
    one headquarters, 3 — there is usually only one station, but many
    taxis) in question 4 both answers are a because there are three
    finance directors at the company.

    Working English Ss focus on the importance of saying numbers
    clearly. This is particularly important when we exchange
    information on the telephone. Read the information together. Elicit
    more examples of numbers that sound similar (13 and 30, 17 and 70
    etc). Write the numbers as words and elicit which syllable we
    stress: thirteen thirty seventeen seven~ Some students may need
    more help with basic numbers. If so, spend some time going over
    numbers 1-30.

    ~ Style Guide, Numbers, page 26 Listening 2

    1 Ask Ss to say the numbers. Then play the recording and ask Ss
    to repeat. Say the numbers and ask Ss to repeat, emphasising the
    syllable stress on pairs of numbers that sound similar. Write the
    numbers on the board and ask Ss to underline the word stress.

    28

    twelve, twen~, thirteen, thirty, fi.f1een, fifty, sixteen, six~,
    seventeen, seven~, eighteen, eigh~, nineteen, nine~,

    a hundred a hundred and nineteen, two hundred.

    You could also point out that with larger numbers and is a weak
    pronunciation (un) and we do not use pauses, e.g. A hundred ‘un’
    nineteen.

    2 Ss listen and circle the number that they hear. Play it again
    for Ss to check.

    3 Ss listen to sentences and write the number they hear (in
    numerals). Check answers around the class.

    Speaking Remind Ss of the phrases for checking and repetition
    that they looked at in Working English. Ss write five numbers. In
    pairs, they take turns to say their numbers. Encourage Ss to use
    the phrases for checking and correcting.

    Career skills Close books. Ask Ss to suggest information that we
    sometimes want to know about a new company (its name, where it is,
    what is makes/sells, how many people it employs). Try to elicit
    what questions we could ask to find this information. Ask Ss to
    open books. Look at the ways of describing a company. Clarify
    information where necessary. Then Ss match the questions 1-6 with
    the information in the Career skills box.

    Listening 3 1 Tell Ss they are going to hear a conversation
    between two

    business people. Ask Ss to say where the two people are and if
    this is their first meeting. Play the recording and elicit answers
    (at a conference, yes). Play the conversation again while Ss tick
    phrases a-f that they hear.

    2 Draw Ss attention to the notes. Ss listen again and tick
    correct information and correct wrong information. It would also be
    useful in the speaking task to elicit the questions that Laura
    asks.

  • Working English Explain that in social English we often need to
    respond to what a person says, this shows that we are listening and
    interested. Read the information with your class. Can Ss suggest
    any other responses? Play Listening 3 recording again (oh, uh-huh,
    is that so? etc), and pause at the points where Laura responds to
    demonstrate. You could ask Ss to turn to the audioscript on page
    165 and role-play the conversation.

    Speaking Tell Ss that they are going to role-playa similar
    conversation to the one in the listening. They are at a conference
    and they start a conversation asking and answering questions about
    their company and their partner’s company. Student A refers to the
    information on page 138 and Student B to the information on 142.
    Give Ss time to look though their information and clarify where
    necessary. Some classes may prefer to write notes first. When they
    are ready, student A starts the conversation by introducing
    him/herself. Both Ss use their real names. Circulate and encourage.
    When they haye fmished, ask Ss to practise the conversation again
    with responses that show interest (see Working English box).

    Dilemma To set the context, ask Ss to name any companies that
    they know that operate in more than one sector (e.g. Virgin
    operates in the service sector [insurance, travel] and retail
    [music]; General motors operates in the manufacturing sector [cars]
    and the service sector [financial services D. Read the informatien
    about the Van Hoog Group. To check that Ss understand the brief ask
    check questions: What sectors does the Van Hoog Group have
    businesses in? (manufacturing, retail and service); Who is the CEO?
    (Peter Winston); What does he want to buy? (another business for
    the group); What does he want the teams to do? (decide which
    company to buy). Task 1: 1 Students prepare to give a very short
    talk about a company. Ss work in pairs: pair A looks at page 138
    and pair B page 142. Each pair reads information about a company
    and prepares a short talk together. Encourage Ss to use the
    information to write full sentences. In one-to-one classes you
    prepare to give a talk about one company and your student talks
    about the other.

    Task 2 : Pair A joins with pair B. Each pair gives the talk
    about their company. Draw Ss attention to the example phrase in
    Task 1 for introducing their talk. When they listen to the other
    pair giving their talk they should take note of important

    information (company name, what it produces/sells, where it’s
    based, number of employees). Task 3: Ss continue to work in their
    group of four. Now Ss look at the information about the Van Hoog
    Group. Encourage the groups to comment on the types of company that
    the Van Hoog Group has/doesn’t have. Now Ss use the information
    that they have about WBH Electronics and Fast and Fresh to decide
    which company the Van Hoog Group should buy. Focus Ss on the Useful
    phrases.

    Decision Ss listen to Lars Morgan, an investment expert, explain
    which company he recommends. Ask Ss which company they think he
    will choose. After listening ask Ss to say what reasons Lars has
    for his choice. Do they agree or disagree?

    Write it up Ask Ss to write an email to Peter Winston, the CEO
    of the Van Hoog Group, to say what company they recommend. Ss can
    write about the company their group chose or the company they like.
    They can use the notes they took about the companies in Task 1 to
    help. Draw Ss’ attention to the way this email starts. Is it formal
    or informal? (formal,Mr Winston). In previous emails, Ss have used
    informal greetings (hi) and endings (regards, best wishes). Elicit
    why this email is formal (Mr Winston is the CEO). Discuss way to
    end a formal email (Regards is still acceptable but Ss could also
    use Yours sincerely as they would in a letter). You may wish to ask
    Ss to prepare the writing in class or complete it for homework and
    compare with their group before handing it in to be marked.

    UNIT OBJECTIVES

    The paperless office Prepositions of place; the imperative
    Offices Directions

    Dilemma & Decision: An office move

    The design of modem offices reflects changes in work practices.
    For example, today, more people work outside of the office either
    telecommuting (working from home part of the time) or job sharing.
    So, it is not uncommon for workers to hot-desk (use a communal desk
    at different

    times or days). A lot of work is team-based, so an office may
    also have a ‘team environment’ — an area where teams can work
    together on short or long-term projects. The layout of the area can
    change to accommodate the different sizes and work practices of
    groups. But most companies still work on the more traditional
    models of individual, shared or open-plan offices. An office can
    appear impersonal, which is why some workers attempt to stamp their
    personality on their work area in some way with photographs,
    executive toys, humorous mugs, etc. The desk becomes an extension
    of the employee. This is most apparent in the approach to tidiness.
    The reading in this unit considers whether a tidy desk and work
    area is the best approach. Advances in the internet and digital
    technology have led some to predict that paper-based communication
    and bulging filing cabinets were a thing of the past. But it has
    been estimated that the use of email in a company can actually
    increase the amount of paper generated by up to 40 percent because
    people often print out documents and emails. For the moment, the
    paperless office remains a goal for the future rather than a
    present reality .

    Keynotes

    Before you open books, write office on the board. Elicit any
    words connected to office that students know. What things do Ss
    expect to see in an office? Open books and point to the picture and
    elicit what it is (an office). See if Ss can name any of the
    furniture in the picture (chair, desk, PC, phone, lamp, sofa,
    table, armchair, etc). Ask: Is it a traditional office or a modern
    office? (modem). What is it in the picture that makes Ss think
    this? Read through the keynotes with your class. Check that they
    understand the words in bold. Ask: Where do you work at home when
    you do your English homework? Do you have a home office? What do
    you have in it? Do you have a desk in

    30

    your bedroom? Do you have enough space to work? etc.

    ~ Coursebook, Glossary, Unit 4, page 151 Preview 1 Draw Ss’
    attention to the four pictures. Ask: Which office

    do two people work in? (1); Which office do more than two people
    work in? (4). Ss match the words in the box with a picture.

    2 Ask Ss to work with a partner and answer the questions . For
    Ss who are not in work, ask them to think about where they do their
    college work or homework.

    3 Check that Ss know these words: tidy, untidy, to file (v), a
    file (n). Go through the questions with the class. Ss answer the
    questionnaire individually and then compare their choices with a
    partner. When Ss finish ask them to look at the analysis on page
    145 and say if they agree or disagree. Encourage Ss to give reasons
    for their opinions. Ask: Is it important to be tidy? Why/Why
    not?

    Reading

    1 Point to the picture in the article and ask: Is the desk tidy
    or untidy? (untidy). First, Ss read the article individually.
    Remind Ss that it is not necessary to understand every word to
    answer the question. It may be useful to set a time limit for the
    first skim read (one to two minutes). Elicit answers around the
    class.

    2 Ss read the article again slowly. Draw attention to the
    glossary. Ss could answer the comprehension questions with a
    partner.

  • Speaking 1 Ss discuss the questions with a partner. Refer Ss
    back to

    the text to find the words filer and piler. Ask: Who has a tidy
    desk — afiler or a piler? (a filer). The second part of the
    question refers to the way that we organise files on our computer.
    For example, do Ss organise all their documents into computer files
    or do they have lots of documents on the desktop?

    2 Write home office and open-plan office on the board. Do your
    Ss have experience of working in either? Was it tidy or untidy? If
    Ss need prompts, ask: Do people see your desk at home? Do they see
    your desk in an open-plan office? Research shows that people have
    tidier desks in an open-plan office compared to a traditional
    office because more people can see your desk.

    Optional activity 1 If possible, bring in magazine pictures of
    the

    following: a notepad, a pen, a desk, a filing cabinet, a PC, a
    laptop, a monitor, a photocopier. Dictate the words to the class by
    saying the word and then spelling it. Put the pictures around the
    class and ask Ss to match the pictures with one of the words on
    their list. Ask Ss if they can name any other things that we find
    in an office.

    2 Extend the discussion about working from home versus working
    in open-plan offices. Encourage Ss to discuss the advantages and
    disadvantages of both.

    Vocabulary 1 These exercises revise/introduce vocabulary for the
    things

    that we use in an office. Ss match the words with the pictures.
    Ask Ss to compare their answers with a partner before checking
    around the class. You could revise spelling by asking Ss to take it
    in turns to choose a picture word and spell it (without saying the
    word). Their partner points to the picture of the thing they
    spell.

    2 Draw Ss’ attention to the word circles. If you have not used
    the optional activity above, check that Ss know the words already
    inserted around the circles (filing cabinet, monitor, laptop, etc).
    Point out that a laptop can also be called a notebook. Some items
    can belong to more than one group (for example, a stapler could be
    both stationery and office equipment; a filing cabinet could be
    both office equipment and office furniture). Do Ss know any other
    vocabulary to add to each circle?

    Stationery: pen holder / tape / stamps Furniture: table /
    shelves Computer equipment: scanner / notebook (laptop) Office
    equipment: in-tray / bin

    3 Ask Ss to do the exercise individually and check answers by
    asking Ss to read out the sentences.

    UNIT 4

    Speaking Ask Ss to prepare their list individually. Then Ss
    compare their ideas with a partner. Encourage Ss to try to give
    reasons for the items on their list. After Speaking, ask Ss to vote
    for the item(s) (in each group or ove
