Additional activities to support each exercise could be: *Subject specific crosswords and word-searches *Completing a real job application form Reading real job adverts and writing mock letters or emails responding to them *Getting in guest speakers (recruiters, careers guidance staff, local employers) *Going on trips to local employers or the local employment offices *Visiting careers fairs and university open days (more relevant to slightly older teens) *Watching videos/documentaries *Interview role plays with each other, or with a guest they don’t know to make it more authentic This workbook gives plenty of opportunities to embed English reading, writing and comprehension skills.
