Customer Reviews

Learning how to Teach Business English
I brought this book whilst I was studying 'Teaching Business English' and I found it to be a great help. Well structured, very informative and generally well written. This is the second English language book I have bought in the Cambridge Handbooks for language teachers - and I can fully recommend their series of books to both new comers and veterans of English teaching.

'The Lonely Planet Guide' for Business English Teaching
Donna's book does for the novice Business English Teacher what Lonely Planet Guides do for the nervous first-time traveller. This thorough and methodical introduction offers precisely the reassurance, practical advice and wealth of ideas one needs when starting out on the Business English journey.

Very good guidebook
I bought this book when I started out teaching Business English in Paris. It has a wealth of advice and highly useful activities. Working under the pressure that most of us will identify with, I need to thank Sylvie Donna for frequent rescue operations: this book has seen more metro stations than any of my others! The only thing it does not do is highlight the importance of making learning stick: there are no tips and techniques for continuous reviewing and for varying learner styles - there are assessment forms and needs analyses but that's different.
Still: well worth its money.
