COURSE DESCRIPTION
Market Leader is an extensive new business English course designed to bring the real world of international business into classroom. It has been developed in association with the Financial Times, one of the world’s leading sources of professional information.
The course is intended for use by students preparing for a career in business, to meet the world of business, to master business vocabulary, special terms used in different fields of business activity: accounting, management, marketing, brand management, etc. Role plays and Case Studies encourage students to use active vocabulary of the unit and opinions to maximize involvement and learning, to improve their communication skills.
Upon finishing the course the students have no difficulty studying special subjects.
Business Vocabulary in Use is designed to help intermediate and upper-intermediate learners of business English improve their business vocabulary. It is for people studying English before they start work and those already working who need English in their job. The book also helps the learners to develop the language needed for important business communication skills.
Peterson’s TOEFL GRAMMAR FLASH is the quick way to build grammar skills for the TOEFL. Students will perfect test-taking skills, review the basis of English Grammar featured on the TOEFL, boost confidence with proven shortcuts and strategies.
Some basic classroom rules that I think will help us achieve our goals are:
1. Participation: This is the key to learning and making your being in class. Don’t worry about making mistakes in front of your fellow students, or teacher. Making mistakes is the way to learn.
2. Always feel free to ask questions and make comments. It helps me understand if anything is not getting across to you and facilitates learning process.
3. Violation of academic integrity will not be tolerated. Plagiarism, falsification, cheating during quizzes and exams will be punished. Leaving the room with an exam paper, attempting to steal an exam, copying down exam question, obtaining the information or assistance from other students and using so called “ crib sheets “ will be considered cheating. In case of cheating during the quiz the student is derived from his paper and leaves the classroom with the grade “zero”, and during the mid-term exam 10% is deducted from his or her grade.
4. Student is allowed to make up 1 (one ) quiz during the term provided he/she is absent from the lesson due to illness or some other considerable excuse and presents note from the doctor or his/her parents.
Remember! Mid-term exams, homework, participation are allowed to be made up; make-up is not permitted after final exam.
5. My phone number is indicated in your syllabus. You can call me and enquire about the assignment or studying procedures.
6. Some deviations from the syllabus are possible. Any amendments in the syllabus will be given to students in advance.
7. Student is not allowed to use mobile phone (in any way) at the lesson. If a student is seen calling, receiving calls, playing, messaging, etc. he/she will be dismissed from the lesson without having a chance to earn any scores.
