Regarding the workshop led by Mark Powell on May 5, 2003 in Munich I would like to offer some critical comments concerning the presentation of his book called "In Company - Intermediate" published by MacMillan. The lecture had been organized by MELTA, which is the Munich English Language Teaching Association, where I have been a member since 2003. Mr. Mark Powell deliberately focused upon some specific matters linked to his book. Later, all members of MELTA were asked to make a contribution to his book presentation. I have divided my critical analysis into three sections which deal with his overall presentation, some distinctive aspects from his contents and finally my personal opinion.
