Synopsis

The latest edition to the Macmillan Business skills series, 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 easy- to- use book that will build confidence in a difficult area. Networking in English focuses on the factors that make a good socialiser/communicator: using appropriate functional expressions in common social etiquette and being sensitive when communicating with different cultures. The authors have considerable experience of teaching communication skills and cultural awareness, and are therefore perfectly placed to guide students in the art of networking in a language which is not their own. Suitable for the classroom or for self- study.

About this title

About the Author

Barney Barrett fell into English language teaching sometime in the mid 1990s after deciding that the life of an academic film critic was not for him after all. He spent half-a-year in Spain teaching in-company at a car component factory then returned to the UK to work at a Business English school in Stratford-on-Avon which has been his proper job ever since. Pete Sharma sometimes describes himself as wearing four different "hats". His first hat is a teaching hat. Pete's 23 years teaching business has taken him all over Europe, as well as to the Middle East and Far East. He enjoyed his stint on the BESIG Committee. Pete is now enjoying the challenge of EAP, working at Oxford Brookes University.
