Same as the teacher?

This fun activity can be used as a vocabulary review or to test existing vocabulary knowledge, and generates a lot of lexis.

Job roles and responsibilities

This lesson is about identifying different job titles and their associated duties. It provides learners with practice at using full sentences to talk about a job.

Using a person specification

This lesson helps learners to be able to use a person specification when applying for work. They will develop their understanding of the vocabulary used to describe personal skills and attributes in an employability context. 

Controversial statements

This free-speaking activity is a great way to start a lesson. ‘ARM exercises’ is simply short for Accept, Reject or Modify statements.

Making it up: phrasal verb stories

A persistent problem area for students is phrasal verbs. This story activity presents the verbs in a context helping the students to work out the meaning. It is also memorable so it's easier for students to remember them too.

Questioning and clarifying

In a negotiation, it’s very important to know when to speak, when to ask and when to listen. Here students rank and discuss the stages of negotiation, do a reading activity and look at negotiations vocabulary, examine question types, then finish with a role play to practise clarifying, summarising and responding.

From picture to story

This activity mainly provides writing practice but also practises question forms and encourages creativity. It is a student-centred activity which encourages collaboration and teamwork.
