The modular approach - why does it work for business?
As most of your English learners will be employees or business students, it’s essential that you can adapt the material to their needs. If your students need to prepare a presentation for their studies, for example, you’ll want to be able to teach them about presentation skills.
Business Partner provides this flexibility, allowing you to pick and choose topics and lessons rather than having to follow the order of the book.
Entrepreneurs - sample unit
Each unit in Business Partner includes five lessons. The task-based approach incorporates presentation and practice, with a lot of communicative pair or group tasks and projects.
Check unit 6 from B1+ level and see how it combines theory and practical skills.
