Learning unit contents

The course curriculum spans the first two years of the study programme and is based on an integrated course at intermediate level aimed at businesspeople and students of business English:
David Cotton, David Falvey & Simon Kent. Intermediate Market Leader: Business English Course Book with MyEnglishLab. 3e édition extra. Pearson Education, 2016. ISBN: 9781292134765.
The previous version can also be used:
Cotton, Falvey and Kent. Market Leader. Intermediate Business English Course Book with MyEnglishLab. 3rd edition. Pearson Education, 2010.
This course book is organized around thematic units relating to management and economic life and offers a range of activities (articles from the Financial Times, expert interviews, speaking and writing skills, case studies, grammar and vocabulary exercices) dealt with and exploited in class.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Communication skills acquisition and practice in both everyday and business contexts, specialized terminology, reading and listening comprehension, written and oral communication (business meetings, interviews, phone calls, business correspondence, etc.).

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

A working knowledge of everyday English (end of secondary school level), i.e. the level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference. Students who haven't reached that level must bring their English back up to level on their own. 

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

written assignments (business reports, letters, emails, etc.) and oral presentations (role-plays, debates, etc.)

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

The course consists of 2/3 of class work and 1/3 of personal study. This is largely based on the exercices (listening comprehension, grammar and vocabulary) proposed by the DVD-Rom accompanying the course manual as well as the online plateform MyEnglishLab.
