The key to this business English course is that it uses an exciting storyline to engage students' interest, while allowing busy teachers to dip into and choose material for specific skills in work situations. A written and spoken summary at the beginning and end of each unit allows students to follow the unfolding story and recycles relevant vocabulary and grammar. The Teacher's Book includes full language teaching notes, ideas for classroom use, extensive cross-cultural notes and reading suggestions, as well as audio scripts and detailed answer key.

Using a stimulating combination of fiction and case studies based on real events, "Double Dealing Upper-Intermediate" provides students with a motivating and effective platform to develop their language and intercultural skills. As many of the reading and listening activities are designed to support students preparing for the Cambridge BEC Higher exam, the book can also be used in conjunction with the Summertown Pass BEC Higher course.
