About Business Partner B1+
Business Partner B1+ is the Intermediate B1+ level of Pearson’s Business Partner course for adult learners. It develops practical British English alongside workplace communication, professional skills, collaboration, business awareness, and employability.
At B1+, learners move beyond straightforward intermediate communication. They begin to discuss business topics in greater detail, explain processes, evaluate options, respond to workplace problems, contribute to meetings, deliver presentations, and produce more organised professional writing.
The course uses realistic professional contexts, task-based learning, audio, video, pair work, group projects, business workshops, and practical communication activities to help learners apply English in meaningful situations.

Practical Business English at B1+ Level
Business Partner B1+ helps learners develop the language needed to participate more independently and effectively in professional situations.
Students practise discussing projects, explaining responsibilities, evaluating ideas, comparing solutions, making recommendations, responding to workplace challenges, presenting information, and contributing to meetings.
The level builds on B1 foundations while preparing learners for the wider vocabulary, greater fluency, and more detailed communication expected at B2.
A Bridge from B1 to B2
B1+ is an important transitional level for learners who can already manage familiar professional communication but need greater control before progressing to Upper Intermediate English.
Learners may understand the main points of workplace conversations and documents but still require support when topics become more detailed, abstract, or unpredictable.
Business Partner B1+ strengthens vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension, interaction, and communication strategies through progressively challenging professional tasks.
Task-Based Learning
The course encourages learners to develop English by completing meaningful tasks rather than studying language only as isolated grammar and vocabulary.
Students apply new language through pair work, group discussions, meetings, presentations, role plays, information exchanges, projects, and problem-solving activities.
This approach helps learners connect classroom study with professional communication and supports more active, purposeful language use.
Flexible and Modular Lessons
Business Partner uses a modular course structure that allows teachers to select lessons according to learner needs, professional objectives, and available teaching time.
Teachers can follow the complete Coursebook sequence or focus on particular areas such as language development, business skills, communication, writing, listening, video, or professional situations.
This flexibility is useful for language schools, university courses, vocational programmes, private tutoring, intensive courses, and corporate training.
Professional Communication Skills
The course develops English that can be transferred to real workplace interaction.
At B1+, learners may practise presenting proposals, clarifying information, responding to concerns, discussing priorities, giving feedback, negotiating simple solutions, managing conversations, and communicating with colleagues, clients, or customers.
These activities help learners improve accuracy, fluency, collaboration, listening, confidence, and awareness of professional communication.
Business Skills
Business Partner combines English language development with practical business skills.
Learners can develop the language and strategies needed for presentations, meetings, negotiations, relationship building, decision-making, teamwork, and professional problem-solving.
Business skills lessons help students understand that successful communication involves not only correct language but also organisation, tone, clarity, active listening, and appropriate responses.
Employability and Soft Skills
The course also develops broader skills that support employability and professional growth.
Learners are encouraged to collaborate, solve problems, give feedback, understand different perspectives, communicate clearly, listen actively, and contribute responsibly to group tasks.
These skills can benefit employees already using English at work as well as students preparing for internships, vocational training, international study, or future careers.
Business Workshop Case Studies
Business Workshop activities place learners in realistic professional situations where they must reuse language from the course to complete a practical task.
Students may work together to analyse information, discuss a problem, evaluate possible solutions, make decisions, and present recommendations.
These case-study activities encourage collaboration and help learners activate previously studied language in a new context.
Language Skills Developed
Listening
The Coursebook Audio, Workbook Audio, and video materials provide listening practice appropriate to the B1+ level.
Learners practise following workplace conversations, meetings, interviews, presentations, and discussions while identifying main ideas, specific details, opinions, attitudes, and action points.
The recordings can be replayed for comprehension, vocabulary review, pronunciation, note-taking, repetition, and detailed listening analysis.
Speaking
Speaking activities help learners exchange detailed information, discuss projects, explain processes, present ideas, make recommendations, respond to concerns, and participate in professional conversations.
Pair work and group tasks provide regular opportunities to practise interaction in a supportive environment.
Learners develop greater confidence in initiating conversations, maintaining discussions, clarifying meaning, responding naturally, and reaching decisions with other speakers.
Reading
Learners develop strategies for understanding professional texts such as emails, articles, reports, company profiles, proposals, advertisements, product information, websites, and workplace documents.
Activities help students identify purpose, locate key details, follow arguments, recognise organisational patterns, and make inferences from context.
Writing
Writing practice supports the production of professional emails, reports, proposals, summaries, updates, descriptions, recommendations, meeting notes, and other workplace texts.
Learners improve paragraph organisation, clarity, cohesion, tone, punctuation, and the use of appropriate professional expressions.
Writing tasks also help students apply course vocabulary and grammar to realistic communication purposes.
Grammar
Intermediate grammar is presented through clear explanations and meaningful professional contexts.
Learners develop greater control of present, past, and future forms, modal language, conditionals, passive structures, reported information, relative clauses, comparisons, and structures for discussing possibilities, obligations, causes, and results.
Grammar is reinforced through the Coursebook, Workbook, audio, video, extra activities, and tests.
Vocabulary
The course develops practical vocabulary connected to careers, companies, leadership, teamwork, projects, innovation, finance, customer service, business travel, communication, meetings, technology, products, and professional relationships.
New language is introduced in context and recycled through listening, speaking, reading, writing, video, Workbook practice, and supplementary activities.
Pronunciation
The Coursebook Audio, Workbook Audio, and video resources provide models of British English pronunciation.
Learners can practise word stress, sentence rhythm, connected speech, intonation, emphasis, contrast, professional terminology, and language for presentations and meetings.
Coursebook
Business Partner B1+ Coursebook.pdf provides the main teaching and learning sequence.
It introduces professional topics, presents grammar and vocabulary, and integrates listening, speaking, reading, writing, pronunciation, communication skills, and business skills.
The Coursebook can be used as the central material for an Intermediate B1+ business English programme or as supplementary material alongside another adult English course.
Coursebook Answer Key
Business Partner B1+ Coursebook Answer Key.pdf provides answers for checking Coursebook activities.
Teachers can use the answer key during lesson preparation, classroom correction, and review. Guided self-study learners can use it to evaluate completed work and identify areas requiring additional practice.
Workbook
Business Partner B1+ Workbook.pdf extends the main course with additional grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and language-review exercises.
It can be used for homework, revision, classroom reinforcement, guided self-study, or additional support for learners who need further practice.
The Workbook helps consolidate language introduced in the Coursebook and supports regular learning outside the main lesson.
Workbook Answer Key
Business Partner B1+ Workbook Answer Key.pdf allows teachers and learners to check Workbook activities, analyse errors, and identify language areas requiring further review.
Used together with the Workbook, the answer key can support learner independence and more efficient correction.
Coursebook Audio
Business Partner B1+ Coursebook Audio.zip contains recordings connected to listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and communication activities in the main Coursebook.
The recordings can be used for listening comprehension, dialogue analysis, vocabulary recognition, pronunciation, role-play preparation, note-taking, and review.
Workbook Audio
Business Partner B1+ Workbook Audio.zip supports the relevant listening and pronunciation activities in the Workbook.
Learners can replay the recordings independently, analyse difficult sections, practise pronunciation, and strengthen their ability to understand spoken professional English.
Video Resources
Business Partner B1+ Video.zip provides visual and spoken context for business skills and professional communication.
Video helps learners observe workplace settings, speakers, facial expressions, body language, tone, communication strategies, and interaction patterns.
Teachers can use the videos for prediction, comprehension, vocabulary review, communication analysis, role play, discussion, presentation practice, and follow-up writing.
Extra Activities
Business Partner B1+ Extra activities.zip provides additional practice beyond the main Coursebook and Workbook sequence.
The materials can be used for pair work, group tasks, revision, lesson extension, homework, communication practice, or support for mixed-ability classes.
Teachers can select activities according to available time, learner needs, and the objectives of each lesson.
Teacher’s Resource Book
Business Partner B1+ Teacher’s Resource Book.pdf supports lesson planning and classroom delivery.
It can help teachers organise activities, present language, manage communication tasks, anticipate learner difficulties, and adapt the course according to class size, learner experience, available time, and professional objectives.
Teacher’s Resources
Business Partner B1+ Teacher’s Resources.zip contains supplementary materials intended to support teachers using the B1+ course.
The exact file formats and components depend on the resources contained in the ZIP archive. Compatible applications may be required to open individual files after extraction.
Tests and Assessment
Business Partner B1+ Tests.zip provides assessment materials for progress checks, revision, course review, and learner evaluation.
Teachers can use the tests to monitor understanding, identify areas requiring further support, and evaluate progress throughout the B1+ course.
The materials may also be adapted for shorter classroom reviews, diagnostic activities, or targeted revision.
Meetings and Discussions
At B1+, learners develop the confidence to contribute more actively to meetings and professional discussions.
They can practise introducing a point, giving an opinion, asking for clarification, responding to suggestions, summarising information, and agreeing on action points.
These skills are useful for project communication, teamwork, training sessions, customer interaction, and everyday workplace collaboration.
Presentations
The course provides opportunities to organise and communicate information through professional presentations.
Learners can practise introducing a topic, structuring key points, giving examples, using visual information, responding to questions, and closing a presentation clearly.
Audio, video, Coursebook activities, and supplementary resources can support presentation language, pronunciation, delivery, and audience awareness.
Negotiation and Problem-Solving
B1+ learners begin to develop the language needed to discuss options, explain priorities, respond to objections, and reach straightforward agreements.
Role plays and collaborative tasks can help students practise making proposals, suggesting compromises, clarifying conditions, and evaluating solutions.
These skills support both professional communication and broader critical-thinking development.
Professional Writing
Business Partner B1+ supports writing for a broader range of workplace purposes.
Learners may practise writing professional emails, proposals, reports, summaries, updates, recommendations, meeting notes, and customer communications.
Writing tasks encourage students to consider organisation, tone, clarity, reader needs, and appropriate professional language.
Authentic Business Contexts
The course uses realistic professional topics and situations to expose learners to English as it is used in business environments.
Texts and videos can help students understand workplace issues, business decisions, professional relationships, and communication challenges.
These contexts make language learning more meaningful and help learners build greater awareness of the business world.
Suitable for Learners with or Without Work Experience
Business Partner B1+ can be used with learners who already have professional experience and with students who have not yet entered employment.
Teachers can personalise activities according to a learner’s current job, future career, area of study, internship plans, or familiar everyday experiences.
This makes the package useful for adult education, vocational programmes, university classes, private tutoring, and company training.
Suitable for Corporate Training
The flexible resources can support Intermediate B1+ corporate English programmes.
Trainers can select Coursebook lessons, audio, video, extra activities, Workbook exercises, and tests according to the communication priorities of a company or learner group.
