An IATEFL Business English workshop with Ewa Tryhubczak, Agnieska Malek-Bohusz and Regina Szuszkiewicz.
Part 1
Working with adults may prove challenging especially when these adults work in various industries or sectors. The teacher can sometimes find it particularly laborious, energy and time-consuming to come up with both interesting and inquisitive questions that will work as a compelling warm-up activity for most professionals learning English.
The central idea of the first part of the workshop is to familiarize the teachers with the use of various professional resources during their Business English classes to enable them to quickly grasp the arcana of a specific profession by designing great open-ended questions and focusing on essential vocabulary items. We want to base our workshop on our materials being used by teachers who have never seen them before and prove that these materials can be easily applicable to Business English courses at various language levels. We intend to use creativity of teachers during this workshop to help them come up with their own ideas of games on the basis of the materials we provide.
Part 2
The second part of the workshop will be dedicated to business English games. If you want your learners to improve their speaking skills by leaps and bounds, try out the variations of the gaming activities with the Beat About the Bush in Business game. Motivating your student to talk about phenomena, processes and people will not bother you anymore. Interactive activities will help students practice persuasive talks and convince others to their concept or project. Be ready to fight, laugh and talk to experience how emotions and laughter combined with the development of communication skills may boost your students’ confidence. Definitely fun and competitive.
