Practical ideas to encourage learner-generated content in business English classes
Marjorie Rosenberg
Summary
This interactive workshop will consist of activities which can be done in the classroom or online making use of the knowledge that learners bring to the classroom. We will cover areas common to a number of workplace situations including business vocabulary, business grammar, communication skills and business skills. Participants will have the chance to try out activities as well as discuss how they might use them in their teaching situations. In addition, they will receive tips for follow-up suggestions which encourage the learners to make use of the vocabulary or business skills they have learned in class when they return to their jobs.
