UPDATE: 11-30-2012. The method below won't include images or formatting. Booh!! So, I instead wrote a PHP program to do both of those things. You may download and use it for free (attribution would be nice though :-)). Here are the details on the Paper Upgrade Project's blog page.

BACKGROUND

A Google search for Oxford Seminars Business English Reviews shows, as of 8-13-2012, precious little useful content. So, having finished the Oxford Seminars ESL, TESL, TESOL certification, I decided to take the Business English module and record my impressions. I scanned the physical book (for personal educational use only) into a searchable PDF file on a high-speed book scanner to support my findings below.

I just posted this question at Wordreference: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=2470982&p=12436746#post1...

A Google search for Oxford Seminars Reviews shows, when excluding the company's cherry-picked reviews and advertising, that Oxford Seminars, an accreditation program to teach English as a second language (ESL, TESL, TESOL) is probably worth the money. Most people on various review sites seem to praise the book as being instructive and practical. Based on those reviews, and a suggestion from a friend that I take the course, I decided to read the entire book (cover to cover), take the course, and report my findings as I went along.

Here is an interesting ESL question: What is "at him" in I laughed at him? I wasn't sure, so I asked the following question:

According to Wikipedia's Grammatical Object page,

There must be a direct object for an indirect object to be placed in a sentence.
