Business Vocabulary in Use Intermediate provides explanations of words and phrases used in various work-related contexts, along with practice in applying the language. The “Over to you” activities enable you to use the language in your own work or study settings. The vocabulary is derived from the Cambridge Business English Corpus, which includes content from real sources like business magazines, professional journals, and educational books, ensuring that the language you learn is up-to-date, relevant, and natural.
This book is particularly useful for self-study, featuring a comprehensive answer key.
Who is this book for? Business Vocabulary in Use Intermediate is intended to assist intermediate and upper-intermediate learners of business English in expanding their business vocabulary. It is suitable for individuals studying English before entering the workforce and for those already employed who require English in their roles.
Besides enriching your business vocabulary, the book also helps develop language skills necessary for important business communication tasks. You can use the book for self-study, with a teacher in the classroom, one-on-one, or in groups.
How is the book organized? The book comprises 66 two-page units. The first 46 units are thematic, exploring vocabulary related to business areas such as people, organizations, production, marketing, and finance. The remaining 20 units focus on the language skills needed in business, such as for presentations, meetings, telephoning, and negotiations.
The left-hand page of each unit introduces new words and expressions, while the right-hand page offers exercises to check and deepen your understanding of how these words and expressions are used.
Cross-referencing between units highlights connections between similar words used in different contexts. An Answer key at the back of the book provides solutions for most exercises, although some tasks, including the “Over to you” activities at the end of each unit, are designed for writing and/or discussions about your own organization or one that you are familiar with. An Index lists all the new words and phrases introduced in the book and provides the unit numbers where they appear, along with pronunciation guidance.
The left-hand page This page introduces new vocabulary and expressions for each thematic or skills area, organized into sections indicated by letters (A, B, C, etc.) with clear, simple titles.
In this second edition of Business Vocabulary in Use Intermediate, there are explicit references to business materials from the Cambridge International Corpus (CIC), which includes business pages from newspapers, business textbooks, and transcripts of business meetings and discussions. This database has been used to identify typical word combinations, with notes on their frequency.
In addition to vocabulary explanations, there is information about typical word combinations and grammar associated with specific vocabulary, such as operative verbs—verbs commonly used with particular nouns. The CIC has been a key source for this information.
The right-hand page Exercises on the right-hand page provide practice in using the new vocabulary and expressions presented on the left-hand page. Some units include diagrams to complete or crosswords.
‘Over to you’ sections An important feature of Business Vocabulary in Use Intermediate is the “Over to you” section at the end of each unit. Sometimes, there are alternative “Over to you” sections for learners who are working and those studying pre-work. These sections give you the opportunity to apply the words and expressions from the unit to your professional situation, studies, or opinions.
For self-study learners, the “Over to you” section can be done as a written activity. In the classroom, these sections can be used as the basis for discussions, either with the whole class or in small groups, with a spokesperson summarizing the discussion outcomes for the class. The teacher can then focus on points that were challenging for the students, and students can follow up by completing the “Over to you” section as homework. The Answer key contains sample answers for the “Over to you” questions.
How to use the book for self-study Use the Contents page or Index to find the topic you need. Review the explanations on the left-hand page of the unit, then complete the exercises on the right-hand page. Check your answers in the Answer key. If you make mistakes, revisit the explanations and exercises. Note down important words and expressions in your notebook.
How to use the book in the classroom Teachers can select units that align with their students’ specific needs and interests, such as topics covered in coursebooks or that arise in other activities. Alternatively, lessons can include a regular vocabulary slot where students systematically explore the vocabulary of specific thematic or skills areas.
Students can work on the units in pairs, with the teacher providing assistance and guidance. Teachers should encourage students to think through the logical process of the exercises, highlighting why one answer is correct and others are not (where applicable).
CD-ROM The second edition of Business Vocabulary in Use Intermediate is available in two formats: the book alone or with the CD-ROM. The CD-ROM is a significant addition, providing an audio file for every key word and expression in the book, along with its pronunciation and an example sentence. It also includes two extra exercises for each unit, fourteen summary tests to check your progress, and even some vocabulary games.
