Business Benchmark
Pre-intermediate to Upper-intermediate, Advanced
Business Benchmark is a brand new three-level Business English course for BEC or BULATS exams, which can also be used for general Business English courses.
Business Benchmark helps students get ahead fast with their Business English vocabulary and skills and gives them grammar practice in business contexts. It also helps students prepare for an internationally recognised Cambridge ESOL Business English exam, using real exam papers from Cambridge ESOL. Teachers can choose from the BEC edition or the BULATS edition at the right level for their students.
The Self-study books also provide:
• Answer keys, tapescripts and model compositions, so students can check their own progress.
The Pocket-sized Personal Study Book provides:
• A Wordlist, containing all the key vocabulary from the Student's Book units.
• Extra practice of language studied in class, plus keys to all activities.
The BULATS editions are also accompanied by a CD-ROM containing a complete BULATS test supplied by Cambridge ESOL, so students can practise for the BULATS Computer Test.
The Teacher's Resource Book is full of useful teaching tips and a wide range of supplementary activities including complete extra lessons and case studies.
