Get Ready for Business

Get-Ready-Bus-Med

Get Ready for Business helps students prepare for the world of work. This two-level series focuses on systematically developing their communicative abilities so they increase their employment opportunities and have the confidence to use English in the workplace.

This is primarily an American English course and there is a focus on TOEIC (R) development. The series does not assume students are already familiar with the world of work, but it is set in a workplace context with characters the students can relate to.

There is a strong supporting website that provides tests, listenings, TOEIC practice, glossaries and photocopiable resources. Visit the Get Ready for Business resource site.
