Biz. Comm x Vocabulary is a compact, output-focused business text designed to maximize opportunities for English speaking in the classroom. Each unit revolves around a main model dialogue, which is broken down into smaller segments and expanded into various guided pair-work substitution drills. Students will focus on working through the drills step-by-step, fully immersing themselves in speaking practice without worrying about grammar or content. Repetition through these drills helps students internalize key language patterns subconsciously, without the need for explicit instruction. Useful business vocabulary is presented in context, and with Japanese language support provided, teachers can reduce time spent on explanations, and students can concentrate on communication.
