Real life business content ¿          Authentic video content introduces unit topics, exposing students to real    English and the sorts of issues they may encounter in their careers. ¿          Financial Times articles provide reading practice to build on the topics discussed in the videos, further exposing students to authentic English. ¿          Students work on case studies that allow them to practise their business and communication skills in realistic professional contexts. Building communicative and business skills ¿          The course builds two sets of skills - communication and practical business skills - which students practise together in the business workshop case studies. ¿          Practical skills training includes negotiating, presenting, building relationships and small talk. ¿          An innovative video-based training programme helps build the communication skills, including supporting teamwork, listening actively, collaborating, solving problems, and influencing. Building language skills ¿          Students acquire functional language and practise all the skills, including writing, grammar and pronunciation. ¿          The task-based approach incorporates presentation and practice, with a lot of communicative pair and group tasks and projects. ¿          There are multiple opportunities for writing practice across all the lessons, with a full writing lesson in each unit. Flexibility for teachers and learners ¿          The course allows teachers to pick and choose their lessons to suit their students. While units are linked by theme, each lesson stands alone and can be taught independently. ¿          Additional resources, such as the Reading Bank, Writing Bank and Functional Language Bank, provide extra support for students, while teachers can use a range of extra activities to extend and add variety to a class. ¿          Business Partner is a blended course where the coursDigital works as a standalone component with signposts to a range of supplementary digital materials.
