The first of our regular business English news podcasts for English learners looks at how people communicate at work and the different factors that can affect how communication takes place. The news story is followed by a discussion of the key English vocabulary and an explanation of the meaning of the words in the context of this article.

We suggest that you first listen to the reading and make a note of any words you are not familiar with. Lisez ensuite une copie de l'article et voyez si vous pouvez deviner le sens des mots en regardant comment ils sont utilisés.. finalement, écoutez l'explication et la discussion du vocabulaire et voyez si vous avez bien deviné. You can get a transcript of the story in the Archives ‘Transcripts’ section
