How It Helps Your Business English
Five parts make up the module: the history and principles of international trade, the major sources of international trade law, imports and exports, trade agreements, and customs regulations, closing with the mechanisms for resolving disputes and landmark cases such as the United States steel safeguards and the European Union bananas disputes. Audio and a PDF workbook accompany each part.
Play the audio and follow the written section at the same time, taking one of the five parts per sitting. Download that part's workbook and complete the comprehension and vocabulary exercises before you move on, so the terms are used and not only read. Come back to the section on customs regulations and the dispute cases when you need the formal language for a report or a client briefing.
