Networking in English with CD

Networking in English with CD

The latest addition to the Macmillan Business Skills series, Networking in English is for anyone who finds it hard to find the right words when communicating informally in the workplace. It is a practical, engaging and easyto-use book that will build confidence in a difficult area. Networking in English focuses on the factors that make a good socialiser/communicator: using appropriate functional expressions in common social situations; having effective conversations which build rapport and mutual understanding; considering social etiquette and being sensitive when communicating with different cultures. The authors have considerable experience of teaching communication skills and cultural awareness, and are therefore perfectly placed to guide students in the art of networking in a language which is not their own. Suitable for the classroom or for self-study.
