One of the best books for teaching English!

I have taught English as a foreign language for many years now and I feel this is one of the best books there is. It doesn't take the adult student "back to school" yet contains structured and organised learning tasks, which are not only motivating but effective! It is also a modern book, using interesting articles from the Financial Times and avoids the all too common "hello, can you tell me where the station is please?" type of exercises, preferring instead to work round themes such as “negotiation” or “communication”, using up to date material to improve vocabulary and grammar. Using the book is interesting for the teacher, which ensures an interesting lesson for the pupil (Market Leader starts from Pre-Intermediate and goes up to Upper-Intermediate) and the CD ROM is excellent too. However the main reason why I like this book is for the corresponding website: www.market-leader.net, on which teacher and pupil alike can find extra resources, and the student can use interactive tests to evaluate his/her level and progress.

My students and I especially enjoyed the Case Studies.

I used this book teaching Business English in Madrid. My class and I enjoyed doing the Case Studies very much. The Case Studies demand the use of all skills from students, but especially communicative skills: problem-solving and negotiating to name a few. The pages are very eye-catching and interesting. The use of material from the Financial Times is very pertinent to Business English students.
