English For Economics Teacher'S Book (B2-C2)

English for Economics in Higher Education Studies

The Garnet Education English for Specific Academic Purposes series won the Duke of Edinburgh English Speaking Union English Language Book Award in 2009.

English for Economics is a skills-based course designed specifically for students of economics who are about to enter English-medium tertiary level studies. It provides carefully graded practice and progressions in the key academic skills that all students need, such as listening to lectures and speaking in seminars. It also equips students with the specialist economics language they need to participate successfully within a economics faculty. Extensive listening exercises come from economics lectures, and all reading texts are taken from the same field of study. There is also a focus throughout on the key economics vocabulary that students will need.

The Teacher's Book includes:
•Comprehensive teaching notes on all exercises to help teachers prepare effective lessons
•Complete answer keys to all exercises
•Full transcripts of listening exercises
•Facsimiles of Course Book pages at the appropriate point in each unit
•Photocopiable resource pages and ideas for additional activities

The Garnet English for Specific Academic Purposes series covers a range of academic subjects. All titles present the same skills and vocabulary points.

For five years before his retirement in 2009, he was tutor for English for Academic Purposes at the Centre for English Language Education at the University of Nottingham, where he was active in course design, materials development and the application of new technology in language learning and teaching.
