Working from a basic knowledge of German, this course specializes in business language. It should be of use to students preparing for BTEC National and Higher National Diplomas, RSA and LCC vocational examinations, as well as business people wishing to improve their German communication skills in a business context. The course deals primarily with establishing and maintaining import/export contacts and follows the progress of a British businessman from his contacts with the German market to the successful conclusion of a contract in the Federal Republic. All the material is based on the authentic experience of an existing British company which has allowed its name and literature to be used. The course focuses on the acquisition of oral/aural skills, with extensive practice provided in the book. A section of the book also develops the writing skills necessary for maintaining business contacts. A cassette pack containing this book and a cassette is also available.
