Abstract | The objective of this course is to enable students to negotiate a business transaction directly in English. The proposed setting is a conference room and the interlocutors are upper middle class professional people. The learners are students of business administration in France who already possess some knowledge of English vocabulary and grammar. The basic material, a functional catalogue of 300 kernel sentences, was developed from tapes and notes taken by the instructors at actual business meetings. These sentences are used to train students to express themselves in three successive levels of discourse, namely, expressing an opinion without much forethought, expressing a point of view with a great deal of emphasis and feeling, and including the person addressed in the speaker's discursive universe. In addition, structural exercises based on the same sentences, situational schemas and thematic dialogues are used. Basically, the teaching strategies consist of an introductory, theoretical phase, use of recordings for listening comprehension, laboratory exercises, class practice in situational contexts, and training in assuming the "Anglo-Saxon mentality." The amount of active participation, the close link between laboratory and class work, the practical nature of the materials and the enthusiasm of both instructors and students are all factors in the sucess of the course.
