Introduction
Overview
Business Partner is a flexible course designed for a variety of learners. It is suitable for
students with mixed abilities, requirements and interests and for varied class sizes where
the common requirement is to learn professional English language and develop key skills
for the workplace.
When talking to learners, their reasons for studying business English almost always relate
to their employability. Many tertiary students want to maximise their chances of finding
a job in an international environment, while in-work professionals want to communicate
more effectively in their workplace and improve their future career prospects. Other
learners may simply need to study and pass a business English exam in order to complete
their overall degree.
In all three cases, teachers need to be able to engage and motivate by providing learning
materials which:
• are interesting and relevant to their life experiences.
• match their learning needs and priorities.
• are appropriate for the amount of study time available.
Business Partner has been designed to enable teachers to meet these needs without
spending many hours researching their own materials. The content and structure of the
course is based on three key concepts: employability, flexibility and learner engagement.
Course aims and
key concepts
Employability
Balance between language and business skills training
In order to achieve their employability goals, learners need to improve their knowledge
of English language as it is used in the workplace and also develop key skills for the
international workplace. Business Partner provides this balance.
In addition to building their vocabulary and grammar and developing their writing skills,
Business Partner trains students in Communication and Business skills. Language being
only one aspect of successful communication, students also require an understanding
of different business situations and an awareness of different communication styles,
especially when working across cultures.
• ‘Communication skills’ (Lesson 3) provides the soft skills needed in order to work
effectively with people whose personality and culture may be different from your own.
This includes teamwork, decision-making and influencing skills.
• ‘Business skills’ (Lesson 4) provides the practical skills needed in different business
situations, such as taking part in meetings, presentations and negotiations.
Flexibility
The modular approach means that Business Partner can be adapted to suit a variety of
teaching requirements from extensive lessons to intensive short courses. In addition to the
Coursebook, a wide variety of additional optional activities and resources are provided
which can be used to focus on and extend material which is most useful to learners’ needs.
Extra activities and extra grammar points
You can extend your lessons or focus in more depth on certain areas by using the large
bank of extra activities in MyEnglishLab (clearly signposted for you throughout the
Coursebook). These include extra vocabulary and grammar practice exercises for use in
class as well as activities which draw attention to useful language in reading texts.
T
Teacher’s resources: extra activities
L
These are PDFs in MyEnglishLab that you can download and
print or display on-screen.
T
Teacher’s resources: alternative video and activities
Alternative videos with worksheets are available for some units
and are clearly signposted. You can use this in the classroom as
an alternative approach to the topic in Lesson 1, depending on
your students’ needs.
page 112 See Pronunciation bank
The summary contains examples of how to order information in
sentences. Go to MyEnglishLab for optional grammar work.
Business Partner offers a flexible approach to grammar depending on
whether you want to devote a significant amount of time to a grammar
topic, or focus on consolidation only when you need to. There is one
main grammar point in each unit, presented and practised in Lesson 2.
In addition, the Writing section (Lesson 5) includes a link to an
optional second grammar point in MyEnglishLab, where students
can watch short video presentations of the grammar points and do
interactive activities.
Pronunciation activities are included at the back of the book. This allows teachers
to focus on aspects of pronunciation which are most useful for their students.

Introduction
Teacher’s Resource Bank: Photocopiables, Writing bank, Reading bank and
Functional language bank
You can use these resources as and when needed with your classes. The Photocopiables
further activate and practise, vocabulary from Lesson 1 and grammar from Lesson 2 as and
when needed.
The Reading bank for each unit gives students more reading practice and can be also used
for self-study. The activity types reflect those found in a range of business English exams.
The Writing bank provides supplementary models of professional communication and the
Functional language bank extends useful phrases for a range of business situations.
Learner engagement
Video content: We all use video more and more to communicate and to find out about
the world and we have put video at the heart of Business Partner. There are two videos in
every unit with comprehension and language activities:
• an authentic video package in Lesson 1, based on real-life video clips and interviews
suitable for your learners’ level of English.
• a dramatised communication skills training video in Lesson 3 which follows characters
in an international team as they deal with different professional challenges.
Authentic content: Working with authentic content really helps to engage learners,
and teachers can spend many hours searching for suitable material online. Business
Partner has therefore been built around authentic videos and articles from leading media
organisations such as the Financial Times and news channels. These offer a wealth of
international business information as well as real examples of British, U.S. and
non-native-speaker English.
Relevance for learners without work experience: Using business English teaching
materials with learners who have little or no work experience can be particularly
challenging. Business Partner has been carefully designed to work with these students
as well as with in-work professionals. In the case of collaborative speaking tasks and
roleplays, the situation used will either be:
• one that we can all relate to as customers and consumers; OR
• a choice of situations will be offered including a mix of professional and everyday
situations.
Both will allow learners to practise the skill and language presented in the lesson, but in
a context that is most relevant to them.
Business workshops: Learners have the opportunity to consolidate and activate the
language and skills from the units in 8 business workshops at the end of the book. These
provide interesting and engaging scenarios where students simulate real-life professional
situations such as roleplaying meetings, negotiations or presentations.
Approach to
language and skills
Business Partner offers fully integrated skills, including the essential critical thinking and
higher-order thinking skills, which are built into the activities.
Vocabulary and video The main topic vocabulary set is presented and practised in Lesson
1 of each unit, building on vocabulary from the authentic video. Teachers are given lots of
opportunities to use the vocabulary in discussions and group tasks, and to tailor the tasks
to their classroom situations.
Functional language (such as giving advice, summarising, dealing with objections)
supports learners’ capability to operate in real workplace situations in English. Three
functional language sets are presented and practised in every unit: in Lessons 3, 4 and
5. You will be able to teach the language in group speaking and writing tasks. There is a
Functional language bank at the back of this Teacher’s Resource Book which students can
also find in MyEnglishLab so that they can quickly refer to useful language support when
preparing for a business situation, such as a meeting, presentation or interview.
Listening and video The course offers a wide variety of listening activities (based on
both video and audio recordings) to help students develop their comprehension skills
and to hear target language in context. All of the video and audio material is available in
MyEnglishLab and includes a range of British, U.S. and non-native-speaker English. Lessons
1 and 3 are based on video (as described above). In four of the eight units, Lesson 2 is based
on audio. In all units, you also work with significant audio recordings in Lesson 4 and the
Business workshop.

Introduction
Grammar The approach to grammar is flexible depending on whether you want to devote
a significant amount of time to grammar or to focus on the consolidation of grammar
only when you need to. There is one main grammar point in each unit, presented and
practised in Lesson 2. There is a link from Lesson 5 to an optional second grammar point
in MyEnglishLab – with short video presentations and interactive practice. Both grammar
points are supported by the Grammar reference section at the back of the Coursebook
(p.118). This provides a summary of meaning and form, with notes on usage or exceptions,
and business English examples.
Reading Business Partner offers a wealth of authentic texts and articles from a variety
of sources, particularly the Financial Times. Every unit has a main reading text with
comprehension tasks. This appears either in Lesson 2 or in the Business workshop.
There is a Reading bank at the back of this Teacher’s Resource Book which students
can also find in MyEnglishLab and which has a longer reading text for every unit with
comprehension activities.
Speaking Collaborative speaking tasks appear at the end of Lessons 1, 3, 4 and the
Business workshop in every unit. These tasks encourage students to use the target
language and, where relevant, the target skill of the lesson. There are lots of opportunities
to personalise these tasks to suit your own classroom situation.
Writing Business Partner offers multiple opportunities to practise writing. Lesson 5 in
every unit provides a model text and practice in a business writing skill. The course covers
a wide range of genres such as reports, proposals, note-taking and emails, and for different
purposes, including formal and informal communication, summarising, invitations,
replies and project updates. There are also short writing tasks in Lesson 2 which provide
controlled practice of the target grammar. There is a Writing bank at the back of this
Teacher’s Resource Book which students can also find in MyEnglishLab and which provides
models of different types of business writing and useful phrases appropriate to their level
of English.
Pronunciation Two pronunciation points are presented and practised in every unit.
Pronunciation points are linked to the content of the unit – usually to a video or audio
presentation or to a grammar point. The pronunciation presentations and activities are at
the back of the Coursebook (p.112), with signposts from the relevant lessons. This section
also includes an introduction to pronunciation with British and U.S. phonetic charts.
Approach to
Communication
skills
A key aspect of Business Partner is the innovative video-based communication skills
training programme.
The aims of the Communications skills lessons are to introduce students to the skills
needed to interact successfully in international teams with people who may have different
communication styles from them due to culture or personality. Those skills include
teamwork, decision-making and influencing.
These lessons are based on videos that provide realistic examples of work situations. This
is particularly important for pre-service learners who may not have direct experience of
the particular situations they are about to see. In each of these videos students watch two
possible scenarios (Option A and Option B) in which a different cwommunication style is
used. These options give students the opportunity to engage in critical viewing of each
option and gain awareness of the impact of different communication styles.
Approach to testing
and assessment
Business Partner provides a balance of formative and summative assessment. Both types of
assessment are important for teachers and learners and have different objectives. Regular
review and on-going assessment allows students to evaluate their own progress and
encourages them to persevere in their studies. Formal testing offers a more precise value
on the progress made on their knowledge and proficiency.
Formative assessment: Each Coursebook lesson is framed by a clear lesson outcome which
summarises the learning deliverable. The lesson ends with a self-assessment section which
encourages students to reflect on their progress in relation to the lesson outcome and to
think about future learning needs. More detailed self-assessment tasks and suggestions
for further practice are available in MyEnglishLab. (See also section on the Global Scale of
English and the Learning Objectives for Professional English.)
The Coursebook also contains one review page per unit at the back of the book to recycle
and revise the key vocabulary, grammar and functional language presented in the unit;
they are structured to reflect the modularity of the course.

10/05/2018 12:52
Introduction
Summative assessment: Unit tests are provided and activities are clearly labelled to show
which section of the unit they are testing to reflect the modular structure of the course.
The tests are available in PDF and Word formats so that you can adapt them to suit your
purposes. They are also available as interactive tests that you can allocate to your students
if you wish to do so.
These Unit tests are based on task types from the major business English exams (BEC,
BULATS, PTE Professional) and task types are clearly labelled. There is also an additional
LCCI writing task for professional English for every unit. This approach familiarises
learners with the format of the exams and gives them practice in the skills needed to
pass the exams.
MyEnglishLab also contains additional interactive PTE Professional exam practice activities
to help students prepare for this exam. The content and level of the exam tasks matches
the Coursebook so it can also be used as additional revision material.
The Global Scale
of English
The Global Scale of English (GSE) is a standardised, granular scale from 10 to 90 which
measures English language proficiency. The GSE Learning Objectives for Professional
English are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Unlike
the CEFR, which describes proficiency in terms of broad levels, the Global Scale of English
identifies what a learner can do at each point on a more granular scale – and within a CEFR
level. The scale is designed to motivate learners by demonstrating incremental progress in
their language ability. The Global Scale of English forms the backbone for Pearson English
course material and assessment.

Business Partner has been written based on these Learning Objectives, which ensure
appropriate scaffolding and measurable progress. Each Lesson outcome in each lesson in
the Coursebook encapsulates a number of specific Learning Objectives which are listed
in this Teacher’s Resource Book in the Teaching notes. These Learning Objectives are also
listed in the Self-assessment sheets available to students in MyEnglishLab. (See also Selfassessment above in Approach to testing and assessment.)
Course structure
Business Partner is an eight-level course based on the Global Scale of English (GSE) and
representing the CEFR levels: A1, A2, A2+, B1, B1+, B2, B2+, C1.

It may be difficult to get into Harvard Business School –
but it is also difficult to leave after just one semester, which
is exactly what Ferry Unardi did. Today he is running one
of Indonesia’s best-known start-ups, the online travel agent
Traveloka.
‘Everybody knows internet time works differently
from normal time,’ says Mr Unardi, 27. ‘When I arrived
at school, I underestimated the speed of change.’ When
Traveloka started out, he said few Indonesian websites
were well designed or even reliable, and many consumers
were uncomfortable making transactions online. However,
Traveloka had 10 million visitors a month by the end
of last year and today takes between 10 and 15 percent
commission from flight and hotel bookings. He told me
the company had partnerships with 33 airlines and hotels
across Southeast Asia.

we looked up to,’ Mr Unardi says, and mentions Expedia
and Priceline of the USA. ‘Now, the rate of creativity and
innovation is so high that it’s inevitable somebody has done
it previously.’
The CEO says that Indonesia’s start-up scene is
changing. ‘That’s the thing about programming and

The Lesson outcome defines a clear learning outcome for every lesson.
2
Every lesson begins with a short Lead-in activity to engage learners with the lesson topic on a personal
level. This section includes pre-teaching of vocabulary needed for the reading or listening to come.
3
The reading text is generally an article, often from the Financial Times. The text focuses on a particular
aspect of the unit topic which has an interesting angle, and it contains examples of the grammar
point presented.
4
There is one grammar point in each unit, presented in Lesson 2. In general a guided discovery (inductive)
approach has been taken to the presentation of grammar. The grammar is presented with reference to
examples in the reading (or listening) text, followed by controlled practice.
5
Discussion questions and communicative practice of vocabulary and grammar is provided in the final
Speaking or Writing section of this lesson.
6
Every lesson ends with a short Self-assessment section which encourages learners to think about the
progress they have made in relation to the lesson outcomes.

B Read the text and decide if the sentences (1–4) use a ‘push’ or a ‘pull’ style.
Put the dialogue between a salesperson and a client into the correct order (1–9).
Two lines have been done for you.
a I don’t know. It’s a lot of money. 1
4
Influencing styles: push and pull
b It sounds good. Yes, we do!
There are two influencing styles known as ‘push’ and ‘pull’. With a push style, people
try to influence through the strength of their ideas and opinions, their status, by listing
benefits for the other person, and by getting the right people to support them. With
a pull style, people show empathy and focus on finding out more about the other
person’s needs, interests and challenges. Together, they try to find a common direction.
c Is that interest-free?
d That doesn’t have to be a problem. You could pay in instalments to spread the cost.
Say 10 percent a month?
e I appreciate that this product is top of the range. When you say a lot of money, what sort
of price did you have in mind?
f Yes, that’s right. We can’t afford to buy it right now.
1 Tell me more about why that would be difficult for you.

2 I think the best thing is to launch the product this month.
g Yes, if I arrange that, do we have a deal?

4 I can understand how you feel. Would this option work for you?

In small groups, discuss which influencing style (option A or B) is better for
Paula to use in her pitch to Pedro and Susan. Give reasons for your answers.
As a class, decide which video to watch first.
Option A – Paula tries to close the deal by highlighting the strengths of the offer (push).
Option B – Paula adapts her approach when she hears the reaction from Pedro (pull).

Speaker B: Your objection is that you need to have
him/her in the office to talk to him/her.

3 How does Paula adapt her style when she sees Pedro is hesitant?
4 Does Paula successfully persuade them?

Work in pairs. Discuss what lessons you have learnt about influencing people.

Watch the Conclusions section of the video. What do we need to do
when we are trying to persuade others? How far do you agree? Why?
Reflection 6
B Work with another pair and discuss. Did you
succeed in persuading your partner to do
the things you wanted him/her to do? Did
you follow the four steps from Exercise 7?
Which phrases did you find useful?
6.3.4
Think about the following questions. Then discuss your answers with a partner.
1 When trying to influence to others, do you mostly make statements or ask questions?

2 What is one advantage and one possible disadvantage of your influencing style?

to the skills needed to interact successfully in international
teams, with people who may have different communication
styles due to culture or personality. There is a storyline
running through the eight units, with the main characters
appearing in different situations. Note: Each clip, however, can
be watched separately and each lesson done independently
without the need to watch the preceding video clips.
In each Communication skills lesson, you will:
a watch a set-up video which introduces the main characters
and challenge of the lesson;
b watch the main character approach the situation in two
different ways (Options A and B);
c answer questions about each approach (Option A and
Option B) before watching the conclusion.
• How successfully have you achieved the lesson outcome? Give yourself a score
from 0 (I need more practice) to 5 (I know this well).
• Go to My Self-assessment in MyEnglishLab to reflect on what you have learnt.
63
5
Students work alone on a short reflection activity. The
approach to this reflection activity may change to suit each
lesson. The idea is to encourage students to think about
communication styles and their implications.
6
The lesson to this point works as a standalone lesson for
teachers who have a limited amount of time to work on
communication skills. In other teaching situations, the lesson
can be extended using the activities on functional language.
7
This page presents and practises a set of useful functional
language from the video in the Communication skills lesson.
8
Teacher’s resources: extra activities The optional
T
extension activities for this lesson provide controlled practice
of the functional language.
9
The lesson ends with a collaborative group task designed to
practise the functional language and the communication
skill presented in the lesson. There is a scenario or scenario
options which pre-work students can relate to, as well as
an element of personalisation in the scenario to help with
mixed-ability classes.
10
Every lesson ends with a short Self-assessment section which
encourages learners to think about the progress they have
made in relation to the lesson outcomes.

Every Writing lesson starts with a writing model with an
associated task. The task often requires students to notice
or do something with the language within the model text.
In specific cases, this section may also include an element
of listening, if for example the writing skill refers to ‘taking
notes from a phone call or presentation’, or ‘summarising
what a speaker or colleague says’.
3
The functional language is presented in a table
summarising useful language associated with the target
writing skill, and includes a related activity. The table
is likely to be categorised according to the different
sections of the writing model. Tasks include completing
exponents in the table or identifying which ones are
formal and informal.

Some examples of the target language point are included in
the writing model. The teacher’s notes include instructions
to focus students on the examples before directing them to
the activities in MyEnglishLab if they choose to do so.

Teacher’s notes
Business brief
The main aim of this unit is to introduce students to the concept of organisation. An
organisation is a group of people that operate together for a particular purpose. An
organisation could be a company, a government department, a service like a hospital or
a worldwide organisation like UNESCO or the World Health Organization. Note that all
companies are organisations but not all organisations are companies.
The word organisation also refers to the way something is structured. For example, many
companies are organised into departments. Each department performs certain functions,
for example, the human resources department is responsible for recruiting people,
providing training, promotion and discipline.
Each member of staff or employee in a company or organisation has a role and
responsibilities. For example, ‘Human Resources Director’ is a role and that person’s
responsibilities include recruiting and training new employees. The operations of the
various departments must be coordinated and teams work together.
We also think of ‘organisation’ in terms of the shape of a company. For example, some
companies are flat, i.e. they do not have many layers and most of the employees have
a similar status. There are usually only a small number of managers and often the manager
will be hands-on and have direct contact with the staff.
Typically, start-ups are flat and small – a start-up may have only a few staff. Twitter, for
example, started with four people. Smaller companies with a flat structure are thought to
be more innovative and more adaptable. Staff are more directly involved in the decisionmaking process. However, smaller companies have less security and are often in danger of
being bought by bigger companies. Career opportunities for staff can be limited.
Other companies are tall, i.e. there are lots of layers between the bottom and the top of
the organisation. We also describe this kind of structure as hierarchical. Higher levels of
management usually have limited direct contact with the staff, in many cases because the
company is simply too big. Walmart, the American retail corporation, has about 2.3 million
employees worldwide, so a large structure of middle management is required to run the
various branches and departments in each country. Large companies have the advantage
of providing employees with the opportunity for promotion, training and developing
a career within the company. At the same time, large companies can be impersonal and
make staff feel remote from the decision-making process.
It is important to note, however, that not all large companies are necessarily hierarchical
or impersonal. Often the culture of the company will depend on the approach of the CEO,
and these days some CEOs prefer to avoid the stereotype of a large company and continue
to operate with the flexibility and speed of a smaller company, maintaining a flat decisionmaking process and keeping all members of staff involved.
Organisations and
your students
It is important that students are aware of the different ways in which companies and
organisations are structured. For students who are not yet working, understanding what
kind of company they want to work for and the kind of role they want to take on will help
them when they enter the job market. Working students will probably already be aware of
their own company’s structure but may need to develop a wider range of understanding
about how other companies work and how businesses do not always conform to the
small–large stereotypes.

Possible answers
Elicit a brief description of the main photo and then look at the
quote with the class. Check that students understand be your
best and give students 2 minutes to discuss in pairs or small
groups: do they agree with the quote? Once students have
discussed in their pairs/groups, you could broaden this into
a class discussion.

A news organisation
GSE learning objectives
• Can understand a large part of a video on a workrelated topic.
• Can describe what someone likes or dislikes about their
job or workplace.
• Can use key words and phrases related to company
structure, departments, jobs and duties.
• Can extract the meaning of unknown words from
context if the topic discussed is familiar.
• Can write descriptions of familiar job roles and
responsibilities.
• Can understand duties and responsibilities listed in job
descriptions.
• Can describe job roles and responsibilities they would
like in the future.
• Can provide a basic description of professional goals.
• Can make formal introductions in a professional or
work-related situation.
• Can describe a range of jobs in their department or
company.
Warm-up
Write the names of three organisations on the board that
you think students will know (e.g. Google, BMW, the World
Wildlife Fund). Ask students what the three names have in
common (they are all organisations) and in what ways they
are different (Google is a company that provides a service;
BMW is a company that makes cars and motorcycles / sells
products; the World Wildlife Fund is an organisation, not
a company, that protects endangered species). Ask the class
to think of more examples for each of the three groups (e.g.
Facebook, Ferrari, the World Trade Organization).
Video
Students watch a video featuring five employees from ITN,
a British news organisation. The employees explain their
roles and responsibilities, and how the organisation works.
2A Discuss the questions with the class. If students answer yes
to the first question, ask them which jobs they would like to do.
2B
Lead-in
Students look at vocabulary related to typical departments
in a company and the role of each department.
1
1 Finance is the part of an organisation that manages its
money and cash flow. The business functions typically
include planning, organising, auditing, accounting for
and controlling its company’s finances. It raises invoices
and chases payment. The department also usually
produces the company’s financial statements.
Human resources is responsible for recruiting,
interviewing and contracting workers. It may also
handle employee relations, health and safety, payroll,
benefits and training.
The marketing department is responsible for market
research, promotional campaigns, brand promotion
and brand image as well as customer relationship
programmes such as social media management. Its main
role is to increase revenue for the business.
Operations department’s primary functions include
the design and management of products, services and
processes. It controls the supply chain. The operations
department of a manufacturing company is in charge
of making the products that a company sells and is
therefore often called the production department
instead. Performing quality assurance or audits are also
functions of an operations department.
Production is the functional area responsible for making
sure that raw materials are provided and made into
finished goods effectively through a series of production
processes.
Sales is the division of a business that is responsible for
selling products or providing services such as after-sales
customer services. The role of a sales department varies
and different companies interpret ‘sales’ and ‘marketing’
in widely varying ways. In some companies sales may be
part of the marketing department. In general the sales
team works closely with the marketing department to
plan promotion campaigns and sales strategies.
2 research and development, legal, logistics, customer
service, IT
3 Students’ own answers
Go through the words in the boxes before students begin
and get them to check the meanings of any unknown words
in a dictionary. Then put students in pairs and ask them to
discuss question 1. Go round the class and help each pair where
necessary. As feedback, elicit a description for each department
from a pair, and a list of activities for that department. Encourage
other pairs to add more details for each department. Do question
2 as a whole class. Give some ideas and clues if necessary (e.g.
This department looks after all the computers, online security,
downloading software, etc. (IT)). Finally, discuss question 3 as a
whole class. Make sure students give reasons for their answers.
Check that students understand stressful and get them
to give examples of things they find stressful in their lives. Ask
them how working for a news organisation might be stressful.
Do the same for glamorous and interesting.
Possible answers
a It’s probably stressful because they have deadlines every
day to produce news programmes.
b It could be glamorous if they meet and interview
powerful and famous people.
c It is interesting in the sense that the world and the news
is changing constantly and dramatic things can happen.

1.1.1 Tell students they are going to watch a video
about five people who work for ITN. You could pre-teach hub,
gather, deploy and bulletin, which are used in the video and
will help students answer the questions. Check that students
understand the meaning of the jobs in the box, then play the
video, twice if necessary, and get students to complete the task.
Encourage students to listen just for the information they need
to complete the task. Check answers with the class.
Vocabulary: Roles and responsibilities
Students look at vocabulary related to roles and
responsibilities in the workplace.
6
Explain that sentences 1–4 are used by the people in the
video to talk about their jobs. Go through the words and
phrases in the box with the class, then ask students to complete
the exercise individually. During feedback, point out the verb
form after involves and responsible for (-ing).

Put students in pairs. Depending on whether your students
are in work or not, ask them to describe either their own job,
a job they would like to do or a job from the box. You may want
to go through the job titles in the box as a class before students
begin, to check that they understand the meanings. Go round
monitoring, and help students with any extra vocabulary they
may need.

Teacher’s notes
Pronunciation bank
p.114: Word stress
Warm-up
Check that students can identify the number of
syllables in a word. Write vacation on the board
and ask the class how many syllables it has
(three). Ask students to break the word up into
the three syllables: va-ca-tion. Now ask students
to identify which syllable is stressed (the second
syllable, ca).
Get students to read the explanation in the
box. Check they understand by getting a few
students to pronounce photographer correctly.
Model its pronunciation if necessary. Finally, ask
a student to come up to the board and mark the
pronunciation pattern for vacation (oOo).
10B Students roleplay the situation. Depending on your
teaching situation and the time available, students could
do their roleplays in the classroom or you could get them to
physically walk around the building, showing their partner(s)
around. Monitor and note down any errors or points to
highlight during class feedback.

Warm-up
Write on the board: small companies vs. large companies.
Put students in small groups and ask them to think
about and discuss the differences and the advantages/
disadvantages of each. To help them, you could write
prompts on the board of different aspects to think
about (e.g. structure? number of employees? layers of
management? security? career opportunities? training?
contact between management and staff ?). You could also
ask them to discuss whether they would prefer to work for
a smaller or larger company. Give students 4–6 minutes
to share their ideas. Once students have discussed in their
groups, you could broaden this into a class discussion.
3
Put students into pairs. Make sure each pair has one
large coin and three small coins. Alternatively, you could
use paper circle cut-outs. Do an example with a stronger
student: put coins/circles into one of the patterns
(e.g. Oo) for the student to say a word from Exercise 1
with this stress pattern (e.g. website). Then ask him/her
to use this word in a sentence. Students then practise in
their pairs. Monitor and make a note of any errors/points
to highlight during feedback.
Project: Showing someone around
Students roleplay showing someone around an organisation/
campus, putting the language from this lesson into practice.
10A Put students in pairs or small groups and explain the
situation. Working students are going to show a new member
of staff around their organisation. Students who are not yet
working are going to show a new/overseas student around
their campus. Go through the bullet points so students are clear
about what they need to decide, and give students some time to
prepare for their roleplays. Encourage them to make notes, and
to also think about questions they could ask the three people
they are being introduced to. Depending on your class size, you
could put students into larger groups, and ask them to also
assign roles for the people who are being introduced.
Lead-in
Students discuss the differences, advantages and
disadvantages of tall and flat organisational structures.
1
Ask students to look at the two organisational structures
and describe the main differences. Ask a few questions to
check that students understand the difference between the
two structures, e.g. Who is the person at the top of each
structure? How many layers are there in each structure? Then
discuss the question as a whole class. You could put students’
ideas on the board into a table with two columns (Advantages
and Disadvantages) and two rows (Tall organisation and Flat
organisation). This will allow you to come back to the list when
students do Exercises 2B and 7.

Give students 3–4 minutes to complete the activity,
individually or in pairs. If necessary, play the recording
again. During feedback, you could get students to explain
their answers using the audioscript on page 146 (e.g. I think
Janet Wood is critical of hierarchies because she says ‘… this
traditional pyramid hierarchy has many problems’.).
2B
Put students in pairs and give them 2–3 minutes to
discuss the question. Go round the class and help pairs where
necessary by asking questions, e.g. Which structure is more
complicated / involves more communication, emails, meetings,
etc.? Then refer students to page 126 and give them another
2–3 minutes to read the information and compare their
answers. As feedback, ask students if they disagree with any
of the criticisms in the descriptions.

Put students in pairs. Remind them of the list of advantages
and disadvantages of tall and flat companies they discussed in
Exercise 2. When students have had enough time to discuss the
question in pairs, have a whole-class discussion. You could also
take a class poll on who would prefer to work for a tall or flat
organisation.
Listening
Notes
Students listen to a radio discussion with an organisation
consultant, where she talks about tall and flat company
structures, and their benefits and drawbacks.
A lot will depend on each student’s personality. Some
people will enjoy the creative freedom of the bossfree environment. They’ll feel more engaged and
empowered. Some will not be happy in an organisation
that does not offer a clear career path, and will be
concerned about how to get promotion and pay rises.
(See Zappo’s voluntary redundancy scheme.)
3
Put students in pairs and ask them to look at the company
profiles and discuss the questions. If your students have
access to the internet, you could ask them to find out more
information about each company (e.g. its history, what sort of
products it makes, where it is based). Invite a few students to
share their ideas with the class, but do not confirm answers yet.
Completely manager-free companies are the extreme
version of a more general recent trend to flatten out
management hierarchies. In flatter hierarchies the
remaining managers can have much more responsibility
and work.
