One of my friends asks:
Q: I need to improve my business English listening and speaking. If you can, I would like you to recommend some materials and/or books to help me with BEC (Business English Certificate) Vantage and Higher, and/or TOEIC.
If you could help me with these my goals, I would appreciate it very much.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
A: Thank you for your question! The following materials will help you to prepare for either BEC or TOEIC. They will also help to improve your business English listening skills:
| BEC (Business English Certificate)Vantage:
|
Bec Vantage Testbuilder & CD PkThis book has practice tests that teach. I find this to be a great way to prepare for tests because you are getting practice with the test, but the book acts like a tutor, helping you to improve.It includes a CD (make sure you get the CD!)
|
| BEC (Business English Certificate)Higher:
|
BEC Testbuilder Higher: Student Book PackFollows the same teaching method as the book above.Again, it includes a CD. It offers:
|
| TOIEC
|
How to Prepare for TOEIC: Test of English for International CommunicationThis book also includes three CDs, and:
Personal Instruction for a Better Test Score
Your Private Tutor
|
| TOIEC – Book Only
|
How to Prepare for TOEIC: Test of English for Interntaional CommunicationThis is the same book as above, but does not include the CDs.You say you need help with listening, so I think it would be better for you to get the book with the CDs. |
| TOEIC – CDs Only
|
Barron’s TOEIC TestThese are the CDs that go with the book above. |
I hope this helps! If these materials do not suit you, let me know and I will find something else.
All the best in your test!
