Hello,

 

I�ve just finished �Market Leader�, intermediate level, with a small group of 3 students (managers for a local business). It did the job, but now we�ve finished it they�ve asked me to use a �normal� book, they found the business English a bit dry. I generally teach teens and large business classes, and the books I use for these classes are not quite right for 3 managers in their 30s and 40s. Could anyone suggest a suitable book? They are somewhere between B1 and B2, like a laugh, and want to concentrate on their speaking (don�t they all) so lengthy grammar and writing exercises are not preferred.

 

Thanks 

The Excellence Gateway has lots of adult-friendly materials. There�s also a lot of listening exercises. I went to ESOL, Entry Level 3, which is intermediate, had a look at Unit 6 and it looks nice. I�m not sure if they have printed any text books... Oops, I posted the wrong link, having a look for it now.

Here is a sample. Your group may need something more challenging , in which case, go to ESOL Level 1.  

Thanks to you both for kindly taking the time to write. I�ve looked at  both those links and I�m sure I can use the materials.
