Tax consultants, tax lawyers, accountants, auditors, tax administration officials, financial advisers and numerous other tax professionals are all in need of a specialised English language training. They need the knowledge of the English language that is both genuinely relevant and directly applicable in their work.
This Coursebook gives you an opportunity to meet their demands and offer a course that teaches a 100% target language in the right context. Although seemingly a niche market, this group of learners is made of affluent individuals willing to invest into language training, as it directly affects their professional status.
Teaching an ESP Course can be quite a challenging task, not only because it requires a specific approach to classes, doing a thorough research on the topic and dealing with issues that you might not be familiar with, but also becaouse students’ understanding of the subject-matter may far exceed yours.
Having that in mind, we have created a Coursebook that enables teaching taxation English competently and effectively without the extensive prior knowledge. It guides both you and your students through taxation topics in a structured, systematic and coherent manner, gradually leading to more complex taxation issues and activities.
This has been achieved through an exceptionally clear-cut book layout, created by an identical unit pattern that is repeated in each unit. That enables you to remain constantly in control of your class, as you always know exactly where you are and what you are doing next.
Teacher’s Book will give you answers to most of your questions and guide you to how to teach the course. It includes clear and detailed instructions, explains taxation concepts, draws your attention to possible comprehension problems and reduces the lesson preparation time to a necessary minimum.
The book provides numerous speaking activities to maximise students’ participation in class, giving them ample opportunities to simulate real-life situations and discuss issues they find personally relevant.
Although the central focus of the Book is on the taxation vocabulary and taxation issues, it provides sufficient material for a comprehensive improvement of all language skills, with all activities presented in taxation context.
If you feel that you need additional help in preparing and teaching the course, we organise teacher training courses, designed to extend your knowledge on the subject, acquaint you with our teaching methodology and give you an opportunity to deliver your English for Tax Professionals class as well as receive the feedback from the trainer and your peers.
