ESLPod.com presents "Business Meetings," a special 10-episode course to teach you business vocabulary in English. Dr. Jeff McQuillan, from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California, will be the host for this series. In this course, you will learn vocabulary for formal and informal business meetings. Each lesson has three parts: [+/-]

First, we will read a story or a dialogue slowly. Second, we will give an explanation of what happened in the meeting and the vocabulary used; and third, we will repeat the dialogue or story at a normal speed for native speakers.

Each lesson will have both a formal and an informal meeting, so you can hear the differences between, for example, a more formal meeting with your boss or the head of the company, and a more informal meeting with your co-workers or fellow employees. The lesson will begin with the formal meeting first, followed by the informal meeting dialogue or story.

This course teaches you both formal and informal business English needed to participate in business meeting. The course follows two meetings from start to finish:

• Meeting A is a formal meeting.
• Meeting B is an informal meeting.

The formal business English used in Meeting A is appropriate for important meetings, such as for presentations at conferences or at annual company meetings. The business English used in Meeting B is useful for smaller meetings, such as daily office meetings or for interacting with your co-workers.

How Now, Brown Cow? A Course in the Pronunciation (Book+Audio)

Title: How Now, Brown Cow? A Course in the Pronunciation of English with Exercises and Dialogues
Author(s): Mimi Ponsonby
Publisher: Prentrice-Hall International
ISBN: 0134243269
Date: 1982
Pages: 133
Size: 140 Mb
Format: PDF + MP3
Quality: Very Good, readable
Language: British English

Audio Added! How Now, Brown Cow? is for use in a classroom, especially if you have access to a language laboratory. It's not necessary to know a lot of English before you begin, though it helps to know a little. The trouble with many people is that they get into bad habits, very often pronouncing English words like sounds of their mother tonguge, and the more fluently they speak, using all these incorrect sounds, the more difficult it is to get rid of them. So in a way, it will be easier for you if you don't know too much.
