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. This course not only deals with survival English for travel or small talk, but also the interpersonal strategies used by good native speaker communication.
Networking in English focuses on the factors that make a good socializer/communicator:
- using appropriate functional expressions in common social situations,
- having the vocabulary to speak about a range of topics,
- using reasonably accurate grammar to get your message across,
- being able to listen to fast speech and understand a variety of accents,
- having effective conversations which build rapport and mutual understanding,
- considering social etiquette and being sensitive when communicating with different cultures.
