The Business English Experience. A forum for presenting and exchanging experiences, ideas and lessons for business English. Come on – convince me! How to structure a professional argument. I recently taught a group of very challenging learners scientists from a research organization who are experts in renewable energy sources. They are all highly intelligent individuals rather intimidatingly so- and I had a great challenge in designing tasks which would meet their needs. The reason? Reformulate and summa...

The perfect (company) Christmas | The Business English Experience
https://businessenglishexperience.com/2014/12/05/the-perfect-company-christmas
The Business English Experience. A forum for presenting and exchanging experiences, ideas and lessons for business English. The perfect (company) Christmas. Is a pretty exhausting time in the business world, isn’t it? Most organisations in Germany pay their staff a bonus at Christmas, very often in the form of a thirteenth month’s salary. This is part of their contract when they begin their new job. Not bad, huh? December to 7 January. As in many cultures, this holiday period is a cause for celebration a...

The Business English Experience. A forum for presenting and exchanging experiences, ideas and lessons for business English. How dealing with conflict led me to success. So what kind of conflict are we talking about? Lack of resources, a breakdown in interpersonal relations, a clash of interests and cultural differences are but a few of the reasons why colleagues can find themselves in a dispute. A couple of weeks after working on this topic, I noticed that BESIG. What did I learn from this experience?

That's what I am (or at least what I aim to be). Archive for the month “December, 2013”. FlashmobELT – Believe it or not! Here’s a short speaking activity I’ve used with many levels from pre-intermediate upwards to practise making past simple questions. It works best with adults from multicultural backgrounds. 1 Students sit in groups of four or five. 2 Teacher gives each group a set of question cards. I use “Have you ever…? 8221;, the more outrageous the better. Why did you dance on it? So I’m pre...

That's what I am (or at least what I aim to be). FlashmobELT – my life in 20 lines. So I’m pretty new to the blogosphere, twittosphere and many other spheres besides, and I’ve been trying to make connections with other ELT teachers. I want to build up a network of like-minded individuals who can help and direct me as I aim to develop and grow as an educator and implement ideas I’m getting from my DELTA/MA in ELT. Anyway, I heard about his new group, #flashmobELT. What verb tenses are used? I agree that t...

If so, does this mean anything? Yes, see above answer. 15 Does the learn...

The Gift that Keeps on Giving | TeacherFacilitatorLearnerFriend
https://teacherfacilitatorlearnerfriend.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/thegiftthatkeepsongiving
That's what I am (or at least what I aim to be). The Gift that Keeps on Giving. I was asked to run my first ever teaching workshop last Wednesday at the small language school where I work. The topic was ‘Promoting Learner Autonomy”, and I had a few days to put something together that would keep us going for an hour. Actually, I was more worried that my mouth might get carried away with itself and I’d end up talking. My colleagues for an hour, rather than talking. This is actually what I look like. The fi...
