English for Business Communication

Abstract

With globalisation, the significant role of communication has increased, and language has gained an important role in society and the global dimension used by people from different backgrounds as a lingua franca for international communication. As a result, the global status of English has an essential role in increasing the use of English as the medium through which several business people get their work done. Furthermore, the rapid growth of digital tools and technology has resulted in various emerging communication platforms that have undoubtedly altered workplace communication culture. Under this framework, “English for Business Communication” constitutes a vital up-to-date contribution to the realities of communication in business today and related literature. This volume consists of eleven chapters along with an Index section at the end, and each chapter comprises reflection questions, post-reading activities, and references.
