This core vocabulary reference sheet provides key words and phrases for human resources and personnel departments. This vocabulary can be used in English for specific purposes classes as a starting point for including vocabulary study relating to anything related to working in human resources. Teachers are often not equipped with the exact English terminology required in very specific trade sectors. For this reason, core vocabulary sheets go a long way in helping teachers provide adequate materials for students with English for Specific Purposes needs.
