"Hello and welcome to this online course in Englishfor International Business. I’m Laurie Oberman with over a decade of hands-on management experience and 25 years as a leading mentor, consultant and instructor in English for international business. But more about me inside the course.

The course itself contains four main Units of the essential management skills in international business communication, and they are: business emails, meetings and negotiations, business presentations and finally a section on international business culture. There are all together 120 video lectures offering over three hours of recorded material, as well as twenty practice sessions covering the necessary English language elements, to boost your expertise and confidence in English communication for business situations.

As the course is intended for non-native speakers of English, the text of each video clip is displayed below it, making it easy for you to understrand, to follow and to review the material without missing any of the details. There is a short introduction explaining the outline and objectives before each of the four units, so let’s not waste any more time here.

Let’s get straight down to business!"
