Summary:

The "Longman American Business English" series is designed to improve
the communication skills of professional people involved in
international business. The series is suitable for classroom use or
self-study. Each title has a book and a cassette. The subject matter
is similar to that of the "British English Skills" series, but the
books are not adaptations and have been written from scratch. They
are at a slightly lower level than their British English equivalents
and are less crowded and more guided, with the Asian market in mind.
"All Work and No Play" aims to provide pre-intermediate and
intermedicate students of English with the tools they need to take
part confidently and effectively in social situations within a
business context. Guidance is provided on the following: the correct
language to use when meeting someone for the first time and when
meeting an acquaintance; appropriate small talk; ways to make
invitations and to accept or decline them; strategies for beginning,
ending and maintaining conversations; ways to act as both host and
guest. The exercises are guided so the course is non-threatening for
lower level students. The course should also help students develop
good relationships with business colleagues and clients and help them
to cope with a variety of social situations which are likely to occur
in their business lives. It should help even lower students to act
confidently in social situations. The course shows a variety of
people of different nationalities talking to each other in English,
so it avoids the sense that they will always be up against people
with native speaker fluency.
