About this course

BBC Learning English's drama series English at Work follows life in an office to teach workplace English. Each short episode targets one situation: preparing for and answering interview questions, introducing yourself to colleagues, making suggestions and polite requests, offering help, apologising, praising, checking information, disagreeing, opening a presentation, making a pitch and giving feedback. It suits learners entering their first job or freelancers working with foreign clients. Pair it with a business writing or interview practice course.
