Reviews
“Teaching Business Discourse is an undoubtedly engaging book for teachers, researchers and other Higher Education stakeholders in this teaching and research field.” (Candela Contero Urgal, ESP Today, Vol. 8 (1), 2020)
“With an impressive summary of key research in the area, as well as detailed discussions, case studies and a wealth of advice for practitioners, the book provides an invaluable resource for anyone who takes business discourse training seriously. The tasks will be particularly useful for those entering the field, offering as they do a chance to think about the issues carefully, and replicating many of the analytical processes practitioners are required to use in real-life.” (Evan Frendo, ESP consultant, teacher trainer and Joint Co-ordinator of the Business English Special Interest Group of IATEFL)Authors and Affiliations
