Apologies for submitting this assignment late.

Apologies for submitting this assignment late. The attached lesson plan is for B2/C1 Business English learners. It is designed for 60 minute 1-2-1 Skype class. I removed one paragraph from the original article to make it shorter. When I did the vocab profiling, almost 20% of the words were 'off-list'. Many of these were the more interesting business/marketing words and this vocabulary would be crucial to having a good understanding of, and ability to discuss the topic, hence I believe this article would be most suited to higher level learners than the profile results would suggest. I would use an interactive whiteboard throughout the lesson to illustrate the grammar points/lexis that are the focus of the lesson.

  1. Hi Ellie,
    Thanks for sharing your week 2 materials. I was unable to comment on the Google doc so here are some comments.

    A good choice of article. It will be engaging and motivating, I’m sure.
    A good sequence of tasks – logical and nicely thought through.

    Thanks for the T Notes – they are helpful for me but I think they are useful for you too while writing. They help to focus ideas.

    What I like best about these materials is the simplicity. It shows how much can be achieved with one article and some time spent analyzing vocabulary and making the text user-friendly (like adding numbers to lines).
    Great!
