1 Course aims
Market Leader is an extensive business English course 
designed to bring the real world of international 
business into the language-teaching classroom. It has 
been developed in association with the Financial Times, 
one of the world's leading sources of professional 
information, to ensure the maximum range and 
authenticity of international business content. 
The course is intended for use by either students 
preparing for a career in business or those already 
working who want to improve their English 
communication skills. Market Leader combines some 
of the most stimulating recent ideas from the world of 
business with a strongly task-based approach. Role 
plays and case studies are regular features of each unit. 
Throughout the course, students are encouraged to use 
their own experience and opinions in order to maximise 
involvement and learning. 
An essential requirement of business English materials 
is that they cater for the wide range of needs which 
students have, including different areas of interest 
and specialisation, different skills needs and varying 
amounts of time available to study. Market Leader 
offers teachers and course planners a unique range of 
flexible materials to help meet these needs. There are 
suggestions in this book on how to use the unit material 
extensively or intensively and how the material in the 
Practice File integrates with the Course Book. There 
are optional extra components, including a Business 
Grammar and Usage book, a DVD-ROM and a series of 
special subject books to develop vocabulary and reading 
skills. This book contains extensive extra photocopiable 
material in the Text bank and Resource bank sections.

the areas of widest possible interest to the majority 
of their students. The Course Book provides input in 
reading, speaking and listening, with guidance for 
writing tasks too. Every unit contains vocabulary­
development activities and a rapid review of essential 
grammar. There is a regular focus on key business 
functions, and each
