Business News in Brief
This worksheet continues our series of handouts on business news.
Following the lead-in question, there are four short reading topics with a gap-fill reading task.
Subjects covered include the stock market, a company takeover, economic outlook and dividend payment.
The worksheet continues with vocabulary and collocation exercises. Do your students know (and use) phrases such as...
- meeting analysts' expectations
- to scotch a rumour
- pay a record dividend
- the stock price tumbled
... and much more!
The lesson rounds off with discussion questions. There's also a quiz which you can set as homework.
This worksheet is written for advanced-level students.
The Business Trip
This business-English worksheet helps students with the language used when making requests.
Target Language:
Would you mind... Could you... I'd be grateful if you'd...
'The Business Trip' has conversation, discussion, role-play and more. With nine different exercises, it's a great way to improve your students' control of the language used to make requests.
Leaving Telephone Messages
Can your students leave telephone messages?
Help ease the pain with this worksheet for lower and intermediate level classes.
At the Office Pairwork Crossword
A double-target worksheet. The grammar point is 'used for' for explaining. (e.g. glue is used for sticking things.)
There's also lots of good office vocabulary.
Students work in pairs, though if you're teaching a one-on-one class, you can always take one part.
Where were you on Monday?
Great extra practice of basic prepositions. Some students always get this wrong in conversation! This is your chance to fix errors with location and time prepositions.
For lower-level students.
Social Niceties
Extensive practice of a multitude of situations. Easy to teach...and it always goes down well. Deals with apologising, offering, breaking bad news...and more.
This kind of worksheet is great for Business-English students: they'll need it if they ever meet English-speaking clients. (Tell them that too!)
Appreciate
Great for filling an awkward fifteen minutes in a business lesson. This is a tricky function: thanking and requesting politely.
Target Structure: I would appreciate it if you... and I appreciate you ...
We use this all the time in business letters...but are you confident your students can handle it? Find out!
Jumbled Phone Conversation
Looking for telephone English? Cut up the conversation into strips, and get the students to put it in the right order.
It's more difficult than it looks, and is great for both business and general English students.
For elementary to intermediate-level students.
