ENGLISH FOR BUSINESS STUDIES 2ND ED. COURSE BOOK EBOOK (B2-C2) (ESAP ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC ACADEMIC PURPOSES)

English for Business Studies is a skills-based course designed specifically for students of business studies who are about to enter English-medium tertiary-level studies. It provides carefully graded practice of the key academic skills that all students need, such as listening to lectures and speaking in seminars.

Extensive listening exercises come from business studies lectures, which together with the reading texts cover the core areas of business studies.
