In Company – eLessons

Since 2003 we’ve been sending great resources to support the In Company series straight to your inbox. On the ball, expertly written by Pete Sharma, always relevant and infinitely practical… these are resources that have helped thousands of teachers prepare their classes.

Although we won’t be releasing and new elesson blogs for In Company second edition, you can find all our previous content in our easy-to-search archive, below. You can filter by topic, level, month or year or simply browse the 200 plus e-lessons from the extensive archive!

For 2014 we have launched a new set of elessons and newsletters centred around life skills, with different monthly themes and topics, including some for business English. Make sure you receive yours by signing up for our Macmillan Email Newsletters.
