Students will study and practice communicative English for use in international business. With a strong focus on speaking and writing. We won't worry too much about "listening" this term.


I *hope* we will learn about conducting oneself in small and large groups in a business setting. In a NON-Japanese environment!

While there IS a syllabus listed on Mie University's page, please expect that it WILL change. (And probably be a lot easier).

GET THE TEXTBOOK! I don't care how you get it, just get it. Buy, borrow, steal, whatever. Somehow, I'm going to TRY to use it in class. Name: "Market Leader Business English Course Book" Pre-Intermediate, 3rd Edition. By: David Cotton, David Falvey and Simon Kent. (Some versions have a DVD ROM. You don't need a DVD ROM, just the textbook.)
