Simple HR Guide

All aspects of Human Resources are covered on this site, although the articles are sometimes not so easy to find. Try rolling your cursor over the main tabs at the top of the homepage and you’ll find interesting stuff.

Investopedia

A resource for American investors. There are topical stories on the home page, and the Tutorials section gives high-level explanations of financial/investing issues. The Dictionary and Articles sections are also worth looking at.

FT Lexicon

Browse thousands of words and phrases selected by Financial Times editors. There’s also a nice section at the bottom of the homepage with Basics of business, Business Glossary and Buzz Words.

KnowThis.com

“A knowledge source for marketing since 1998”. Marketing Blog, Marketing Tutorials, Marketing Stories, Marketing Terms … and more. Another great resource.

Marketing Teacher

“This site uses plain language to describe the key marketing topics and has an international appeal to marketing learners, teachers and professionals.” It’s free. It’s high quality. Many lessons available as PP slides as well. Amazing!

NetMBA

Short articles that simplify (a lot) the topics on a typical MBA course.

#ELTchat on Twitter

Every Wednesday on Twitter there is a great chat session under #eltchat. The debate is high quality. And every week someone volunteers to post a summary of the discussion on this (non Twitter) website. Not specifically BE, but recommended.

TechRepublic

Need some up-to-date and stimulating texts for the techies in your class? You’ll find them here.

Business Week

I’ve been a subscriber to both Business Week and the Economist since my twenties. I personally find BW is better for ELT purposes. As always with authentic texts, check any article carefully for level, length and usefulness of language.

EL Gazette

The EL Gazette is an online newspaper for the international ELT community. Ever wanted to get a sense of the wider ELT world beyond your classroom and staffroom? Start here. Registration required, but it’s free.
