Business Venture 1 is a solid "bridging" text for learners who have completed the elementary level, and want more review, and practice before going on to higher level texts.
The listening sections are not as difficult as the Market Leader text (see previous post) and have less accented English, but, they will provide enough of a challenge for ESL business learners.
Every unit starts off with a conversation question, and short speaking tasks that lead into the main topic. It is more everyday-business and job language: introducing yourself, business phone calls, meetings, negotiations, etc.
There are also role-plays for students to practice the target language in each unit. The reading sections are short, but, interesting. The grammar exercises are tied directly to the topics in each unit. A workbook is included in the full package for further study at home.
Not as colorful as other textbooks, but, it is very basic, and economical text for those getting ready for leveling up.
