Large textbook to Business Class for a customer Culture ESL This series of case studies is an excellent model for students of secondary and tertiary ESL interested in the discussion of cultural issues in a business context. I used this in Japan for several years. The book is perfect for a jigsaw approach, initially dividing the class into two, then put the students to exchange information for a round table. The vocabulary is challenging at this level, there are exercises and additional word forms the end of each unit. There is much scope for teachers and students to build on the themes of personal stories, and increases in vocabulary and pronunciation. Students are given ample opportunity to participate, analyze and give advice, and use the target vocabulary - and there is always a chance to compare cultures with the local culture topic. This is a great book to be a business and cultural issues for ESL students 0 of 0 people found this review helpful introduced. An excellent base for ESL students by Bill Curtis I got this book for a number of years with managers from different countries and students in China. My only complaint is that the publisher has not updated the equipment. For example, there is no mention of the Internet or e-mail for business communications. However, delivering the text, cases, activities, vocabulary, etc., the ESL teacher with a great foundation, the simple design. Suitable for a wide range of English skills, but designed for advanced students. This remains the most effective business culture text that I could find. 1 of 2 people found this review helpful. My mistake, I think of Michael Underhill Yes, I should really read the audit by the editors ... This book is for students of English medium-low, and offers some useful angles for learning, but in my opinion is of little help for people to do business in all cultures. If the reader struggles with English as it is in this book meets their needs, so it is probably out of a job if you use this language in the workplace. As an ESL text can also be used in the hands of a good teacher (because the material is superficial). If you or your students really need to learn something about doing business abroad, look elsewhere. See all 3 reviews ....
