课程介绍

1. We’re going to focus on high frequency vocabulary for work

Learning vocabulary for the work context helps in communicating the message in a simple and effective way. This makes it important to teach common words and set expressions for everyday work situations. 

You’re going to learn:

Lexical sets (words related to the same topic or situation) – for example, days, months, numbers, verbs to describe work routines, verbs in the past. 

Common collocations with verbs and nouns (for example, manage a team, have meetings, place an order, solve a problem).

Functional language and fixed phrases – greetings (How are you? Nice to meet you.) and offers (How can I help you? Would you like…?).

2. I’m going to help you with vocabulary learning 

How will the lesson be:

The vocabulary items that you will learn should be in realistic contexts. For example, phone calls, to-do lists, short emails, text messages etc. 

I aim to give my students about eight to ten new words in a lesson as a general rule. This is an achievable number for working memory and helps to build learners’ confidence. The number of words can be a little higher if items are easy to show in images or there is repetition, for instance, the numbers 20 to 100. 

We can have simple tasks, such as matching words and pictures or verb and noun collocations using short texts (for example, manage a team, call customers, write emails, etc.). Next, you’re going to complete sentences using the target words. Then write your own sentences using these words. 

3. We’re going to maximize your speaking time

Learners need to develop their speaking skills for work. The classroom is a safe, low-stakes environment for them to gain fluency and confidence.

How the lesson will be:

Use the audio and video scripts of short dialogues or an extract from a longer script. Students read the dialogue aloud in pairs (with the teacher) or groups. Give feedback by drilling the stress and rhythm of any words or phrases which were difficult with the whole class. 

Moreover, surveys, questionnaires, true/false games, information-gap exercises are all ways to practice speaking skills as well as target structures and vocabulary. 

4. I’m going to provide you support for speaking tasks

How the class will be:

Use a model dialogue from the coursebook or one you wrote yourself. Ask students to build their own short dialogues by changing some details (such as names, dates, prices, quantities). Or use one half of the dialogue and ask students to write the other part. 

Then have them perform their dialogues together with their script. Then ask them to try to memorize it without the script. Finally, they should perform the dialogue for another pair or even for the whole class. 

Give students a reason to listen to their partners when they are speaking. For example, a speaking task like placing an order on the phone gives them a reason. The student who is listening can note down the essential information and check their answers afterward. 

 

Repeating tasks with slight variations increases the challenge, improves fluency, helps students to remember useful phrases, and builds their self-confidence.
