Dive off the page and into the workplace: Personalising your advanced level course book. Presenting Basis for Business C1 Using a book in an advanced business English class can provide a supportive structure around which to tailor material to the needs of your advanced learners. Cornelsen’s new C1 course book Basis for Business provides the support structure to: make sure your advanced learners are getting the input they need to extend their active repertoire give their practice direction based on authentic dialogues and materials provide them the freedom and support they need for personalised practice Communicative practice creates the foundation for more extended tasks and explorations that are then practised and personalised in workplace simulations. Together we will look at ways of using the pedagogical structure of the course book to build up to and set up freer tasks and simulations and show you how to connect the units of the book with materials from the learners’ workplace environment. Basis for Business C1 and authentic examples from the business world will be used to demonstrate how you can get the most bounce out of your book. Referentin: Anne Hodgson has been teaching Business English since 1997. Based in Berlin, she provides communicative skills training to office assistants and academics across Germany. She recently co-authored Basis for Business C1 (Cornelsen), and has been involved in professional development as events coordinator for ELTABB and as a presenter at ELTA workshops.
