Business
English is the largest of the English For Special Purpose categories
and covers both native speakers and non-native speakers.
Please pay careful attention to students and
company needs in this area, because I've noticed too many books put too
much emphasis on cultural awareness and not enough on basic business
needs. Also if a company is paying for a course, they don't expect you
to tell their employees how to write an effective CV!
For grammar practice, please see the general
English sections of this Website.
