Features: This book is suitable for candidates preparing for the Cambridge University ESOL Examination Center's Business English Certificate Advanced (BEC Higher) examination. It includes four complete sets of past papers for the BEC Higher exam. The Business English Certificate (BEC) exam is held at recognized BEC examination centers and takes place on six fixed dates each year, with two sessions held annually in China. The primary target audience for these exams is learners who wish to obtain an English language certificate related to business. The examination standards provide an ideal focus for business English courses. The BEC exam tests English language skills in a work-related context, rather than business knowledge. BEC has three levels—BEC Preliminary, BEC Vantage, and BEC Higher. The levels of the Business English Certificate exam are aligned with the five levels set by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the language teaching syllabi established by the European Commission. Within the framework of the British National Curriculum, the Business English exam also meets the national standards for language reading and writing set by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) in the UK.
