Question
I'm debating between using the Market Leader course books and the Intelligent Business series. I have a lot of experience with the Market Leader, but I have not used the Int. Business course books, but have heard a lot of good things about them.
Response
I have used both of them, I quite like Market Leader. The difference between both, from my point of view, is that Intelligent Business is addressed to an advanced and more knowledgeable students, those who are really into business. However, Market Leader is more attainable for people who are taking a business English class for the
first time, more practical.
Both have excellent listenings. I like a lot Market Leader Workbooks, quite practical, simple and focused on vocab and writing. I find Intelligent Business workbook more difficult.
Both lack grammar focus sometimes , though, but, Market Leader has a book specialised in grammar.
