Practise what you need to say when a colleague is waiting for an answer.

Checking an instruction, asking for help and explaining what is finished are small conversations with a practical purpose.

Everyday English at Work — Student Workbook gives adult learners at A2–B1 a structured place to prepare, practise and review those conversations with a tutor.

Across 36 pages, learners read short exchanges, listen for important details, take part in role-plays and write messages connected to the task.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Six practical topics: checking instructions, asking for help, giving updates, explaining delays, joining discussions and handing over tasks.

• Model conversations: short workplace exchanges with meaning questions and useful vocabulary support.

• Focused language practice: activities that prepare learners for the conversation ahead.

• Listening note sheets: space to record key information from messages read aloud by the tutor.

• Learner role cards: information gaps, useful phrases and changed details that require questions and a revised agreement.

• Short writing tasks: turn the conversation’s outcome into a clear note or message.

• Extra practice and homework: new situations to revisit useful language between lessons.

• Goal-setting and review pages: choose a workplace goal, collect useful phrases and reflect on what you can do independently or with help.

WHY IT’S USEFUL

The workbook connects reading, listening, speaking and writing around the same practical situation.

Learners use phrases to get information and complete a task, then respond when details change. Writing activities help them check whether their message includes the facts a colleague needs.

For tutors already using the Teacher Guide, this edition keeps learner work together in one document and adds separate extra-practice activities, homework space and a personal phrase log.

HOW TO USE IT

Choose a workplace goal with your tutor, then follow the matching lesson. Your tutor reads the listening message and plays the colleague during role-plays.

Use the extra-practice pages between lessons. Keep useful phrases, try them in a new example and review completed work with your tutor.

Print on A4 at actual size, or select “Fit” for US Letter. You can also write using a compatible PDF reader’s annotation tools. This is not an interactive fillable form.
