This class was made for international students studying Business English for the first time at roughly Cambridge BEC Preliminary level. It could also be a fun project for Key Stage 3 or Key Stage 4 students who are new to studying business. It was over 10 hours of classes for my students, and about 15 hours including homework tasks. The PPT guides students through understanding important vocabulary for branding, analysing effective logos, conducting market research, understanding graphs, advertising techniques, creating and giving a pitch. It is designed as a group project in the style of the Apprentice and follows an Apprentice episode based on designing baby food. The students will be designing a new fast food restaurant.

This was 6 hours work for my CLIL class of international students. An introduction to the concept of formal and informal language as well as activities for identifying and using the correct register. An introduction to entrepreneurs and USPs. Vocab and worksheet to help analyse a Dragon’s Den pitch, and then some guidance on creating their own pitch.

An engaging PPT designed to cover 6 x 1 hour lessons with a group of international students being taught subject support to assist them with their Business skills. Notes and answers have been added to the slides to help T where necessary. The lessons include a variety of speaking, writing, and grammar tasks using a variety of independent, pair and group work. The lessons are designed to get students understanding critical thining and how to think critically about different things and develop their problem solving skills teaching them to think ‘outside the box’. The grammar focus for these lessons is on the first conditional. There is a final project for the students to apply their learning.

Designed for international students studying BEC/Business English/Business CLIL, ideally B1-B2 level, although could go a little either side. Could also be useful for an introduction to Business Studies for younger students. Guides students through 6 hour lessons of tasks getting them to practice language needed for analysing and describing graphs, analysing graphs, comparatives and superlatives, quantifiers, writing, listening, speaking… Please check the notes as there may be some useful links in there.

Designed for international students studying Cambridge BEC/ Business English/ Business CLIL. Guides students to write a hotel review, using comparatives and superlatives. Should be roughly 6 x 1 hour lessons worth of work, but could be shortened or extended. Will need access to laptops for research - could work for an online class.
