Review

"The unique selling proposition of Double Dealing is the story-line; the different settings provide welcome opportunities for intercultural observation, and the personal data bank in every unit is a useful encouragement towards greater learner autonomy. I feel that Summertown Publishing deserves a special mention for the way they have visually branded a whole series of new books, and created a good-looking template at the same time." - ELT Journal, April 2005; "Double Dealing is a book with a difference: it has a storyline. Brave and innovative, this book is worth investigation." - Book of the month, El Gazette; "A refreshing change." - English Teaching Professional magazine; "Double Dealing suggests that you can mix business and pleasure when it comes to learning English." - Iatefl Issues magazine; "Double Dealing really breaks the mould. An exciting story line that is much more accessible and user friendly than many other English for business books." - Besig Business Issues Magazine; "Double Dealing certainly makes a bold attempt to break the mould of serious, earnest yet bland business English books, whilst keeping the teacher in familiar territory of straightforward language practice and speaking activities." - English Teaching Professional magazine; "Double Dealing is certainly a departure from previous business English courses. It is attractively produced and looks fun, while being pedagogically sound." - Iatefl Issues magazine; "An admirable course - the only business English book that really manages the link between language and intercultural issues." - Philip O'Connor, LTS Training & Consulting, UK; "Hitting the right note and appealing ot the business English student's sense of fun at the same time is very difficult - and I can't think of any book which has successfully done it up to now. Fantastic value for money...I am deeply impressed." - Priscilla Osborne, Regent Schools, UK; "Definitely not bland and definitely not boring, James Schofield's Double Dealing really breaks the mould of what has become a very standardised format of teaching English for business course books, as even its title suggests. This book contains all the usual language functions, but being placed within the context of a gripping story line, means learning them can be far more motivating and memorable. ...An exciting story line...extremely good value for money too...much more accessible and user friendly than many other English for business books...extremely well organised...equally well designed...all the language points are presented in an extremely pragmatic way. Double Dealing is by far the best book of its kind I have come across in a very long time." Besig Business Issues Magazine; "Double Dealing is a book with a difference: it has a storyline. An auditor investigates the mysterious circumstances of a commercial project manager's death, and her investigations lead her to take part in meetings, write e-mails, negotiate and make presentations, thus cleverly providing the context for the book content. The vocabulary is highly appropriate for intermediate business English learners. The standard of graphics and photography and layout are as high as we have come to expect from this niche publisher. Brave and innovative, this book is worth investigation." - Book of the month, El Gazette; "A refreshing change. Double Dealing certainly makes a bold attempt to break the mould of serious, earnest yet bland business English books, whilst keeping the teacher in familiar territory of straightforward language practice and speaking activities. A self-study section, included along with an attached listening CD, makes this book a complete package." - English Teaching Professional 2004; "Double Dealing is certainly a departure from previous business English courses. It is attractively produced and looks fun, while being pedagogically sound. You will find all the work you would expect, including vocabulary exercises based on collocation and readings that are connected with business. This course suggests that you can mix business and pleasure when it comes to learning English." - Iatefl Issues magazine; "Everything is contained in one book. The two-page intercultural sections provide essential cultural insights for today's business executives. Double Dealing is not only a good mystery story, but also a well-thought-out intermediate business English course." - Business Spotlight magazine; "A cleverly-constructed business detective story - Double Dealing is clever, entertaining, well-laid out and pedagogically well-constructed. It could work well as a language-school set book for a general business course of ten weeks or twenty weeks." - Eileen McDonald, EFL Materials Reviews, Eltaf newsletter, Germany; "An admirable course - the only business English book that really manages the link between language and intercultural issues." - Philip O'Connor, LTS Training & Consulting, UK; "Hitting the right note and appealing to the business English student's sense of fun at the same time is very difficult - and I can't think of any book which has successfully done it up to now. Fantastic value for money...I am deeply impressed." Priscilla Osborne, Regent Schools, UK
