Business Venture is a two-level speaking and listening course in American and International English. It deals with the real-life communication problems that business people face when they have to use a foreign language: talking on the telephone, meeting and entertaining clients, and so on.
Business Venture 1 is designed for false beginners, people who have studied some English, but who need to improve their fluency. It uses carefully selected and controlled language to build the students' confidence and to prepare them for their first contacts with foreign clients. An important part of this preparation is the 'Culture File', the cross-cultural discussion that ends each unit.
Business Venture 1 consists of this book and two cassettes. The cassettes were recorded in New York, using the voices of professional people from all over the world.
