EXECUTIVES AND MANAGEMENT
This is a course in communication skills in English for students who need to use English in their work.
English is the major means of communication between business people in different countries. This course is
designed to be used with all kinds of people who:
• all work in the same field or in entirely different fields;
• work within the same or in different firms;
• are managers or people who hold other high jobs. Business English isn’t a special language with a spe-
cial grammar; it’s simply English Used in Business Situations.
As there’s no international standard form of English, both British and American usage will be incorporated
into the course. The emphasis of the course is оn performing tasks and carrying out activities encouraging stu-
dents to use their judgment, business and general knowledge and skills.
This course covers the basic business or commercial terms that most business people use in the course of
their work. It also provides a wide range of business settings and situations in which students can practice and
improve their communication skill in English and can become more confident, more fluent and accurate.
TYPES OF ACTIVITIES AND EXERCISES
Various language skills are integrated into task-directed and communicative activities. In many of the
speaking, writing, reading and listening activities students are expected to work together in pairs or groups, to
play role plays and to cooperate in solving a problem or performing a task.
INTEGRATED ACTIVITIES
These activities contain tasks that are similar to the kind of tasks students will have to perform in business
life. A variety of skills are:
• READING;
• LISTENING: hearing a phone call, taking & relaying a message;
• WRITING TASKS: tasks on letters, faxes, reports;
• DISCUSSION: jobs, careers, meetings, companies, processes, etc;
• PROBLEM – SOLVING: complains, marketing, negotiating, and operations;
• ROLE-PLAY: a real-life setting involves very detailed knowledge of the product, circumstances and
personalities involved. The role-plays range from fairly simple activities, such as acting out face-to-face visits
to more elaborated tasks, such as explaining how to do something.
The extended role-plays, the integrated activities and the longish to full-scale simulations reflect the reality
that communication in business is multi-dimensional, many-sided, variable and unpredictable.
The purpose of a simulation is to provide opportunities for students to rehearse dealing with the unknown
by employing the known means at their disposal.
