Market Leader

Market Leader 3rd Edition Extra develops confident, fluent speakers who can successfully use English in a work environment.

What is Market Leader Extra?

Market Leader 3rd Edition Extra is a five-level English course for students who want to learn English and learn about business, and for business people who want to advance their careers.

It has been developed in association with the Financial Times , one of the leading sources of business information in the world. Financial Times material introduces students to topical business issues and builds the professional language and communication skills required for the modern world of business.

Teach students real English in a business environment

Financial Times articles and practice exercises help students develop English for business.

Topics such as buying and selling, mergers and acquisitions, people skills, marketing and human resources expose students to the practicalities of business.

Consultant case studies help students learn general business practices while improving their English.

Help students achieve their goals

The English that students learn is practical for both working in business and further study at university level. Interviews, case studies and Financial Times content bring the real world of business into the classroom and motivate students with an interest in business.

Market Leader Extra
with business skills lessons and self-assessment

Extra builds on Market Leader 3rd Edition by providing new Business Skills lessons that offer the learner a task-based, integrated skills approach to the development of core business skills such as Presentations, Negotiations, Meetings and Small Talk.

These lessons appear at the end of every three units and incorporate performance review, suggestions for professional development and goal setting. They are based on the Global Scale of English Learning Objectives for Professional English. These objectives are signposted at the top of each new lesson in the Student’s Book and the carefully scaffolded activities are crafted around each objective, creating a clear sense of direction and progression in a learning environment where learners can reflect on their achievement at the end of the lesson.

Flexi Editions

The Market Leader 3rd Edition Flexi Editions are great for intensive courses: they combine half a Course Book and half of the equivalent Practice File. With the course content coverable in a shorter period (40-60 hours of contact time), they are ideal for summer courses or other intensive packages.

BEC Support

Use Market Leader to prepare your students for the Cambridge Business English Certificate (BEC). Market Leader provides dedicated support for the reading and writing elements of BEC for the top two levels, BEC Vantage (B2) and BEC Higher (C1).
