This book serves two purposes. It is a course in international trade procedures as well as an English course and is
intended for those students who have probably done several years of general English and are now embarking on careers
in business. This approach of combining subject learning and language learning simultanteousiy proved extremely
popular with the four hundred students from twenty different countries with whom it was developed over a period of
four years in London. It appeared that they appreciated being able to start professional studies using English, although
they were aware of their limited level of English. With this in mind the book includes purpose-written passages which
avoid unnecessarily complex language. However the vocabulary load in places is quite extensive and so the author has
given the students dues in the form of line references and paragraph references in each chapter for extra help. It is
suggested that the teacher in the classroom or students working on their own should use the material in English for
International Trade, according to their individual needs. If, for example, the students' own language is used for oral
communication in trade transactions, then Section 3: Dialogue can be omitted, although this section can always be used
for extra written practice. On the other hand, it may be useful to expand other sections. The guided note-taking
exercises in Section 4: Writing could be extended to paragraph or composition writing practice, if necessary. This would
be especially useful for those students who are taking written exams in shipping or commerce.
