Socialising helps learners of Business English to develop the skills and language needed to establish and build effective social relationships with present and future business partners.

The book practices language and skills in the following areas:

- Opening a conversation

- Making conversation

- Building rapport

- Entertaining

- Making arrangements

- Leave-taking

Socialising provides six core units, each containing these sections:

- "warmer" to raise awareness of the skills involved in effective communication and to introduce different strategies for developing these skills.

- "presentation and practice" of core language connected to each skill.

- "over to you", which allows students to apply what they have learned to their real-life work situation.
