Delta Business Communication Skills: Meetings

Everyone has to attend meetings as part of everyday business life – and many of these meetings are conducted in English.
Meetings aims to help learners of Business English develop the skills and language needed to participate in meetings where English is the medium of communication, whether listening to other participants, making points or acting as chair.
The book practices language and skills in the following areas:
– Opening a meeting
– Presenting information
– Problem-solving
– Explaining and clarifying
– Agreeing and disagreeing
– Summarising and closing
Meetings is designed to help learners at pre-intermediate and intermediate levels master the key communication skills required in international business English today. It provides six core units, each containing these sections:
– “warmer” to raise awareness of the skills involved in effective communication and to introduce different strategies for developing these skills.
– “presentation and practice” of core language connected to each skill.
– “over to you”, which allows students to apply what they have learned to their real-life work situation.
