Summary: "This book is a product of a collaboration among three colleagues who wanted to develop the English proficiency of our students by giving them competitive advantage in the global market. Based on our research, the industries are looking for communicative competency among professionals who will meet the demands of the globalized world. We looked at the communication gap that is emphatically not addressed in the academe. Consequently, we opted to veer away from mere technical writing course offered to graduating students in most colleges and universities in the Philippines. After our diagnoses and assessment of the needs of professionals in the workplace, we gave birth to English for the workplace series 1-3 that comprehensively discuss all four macro skills. English for the workplace 1: is about reading and listening, followed by English for the workplace 2: writing and English for the workplace 3: speaking. All three books in the series build up on the indispensable skills necessary for pre-employment and employment communication using the workplace context." -- Provided by the author.
