If you have already taught English business skills in your country, you know that there is a lot more to it than just learning grammar and vocabulary. In order to give students the tools they need to succeed, teachers need to encourage them by using interesting, but practical activities to learn English skills in a good way.<\/p>\n
Student discussion board While the field of Business English is still relatively new in North America and has garnered some mixed reactions among ESL students, how well it translates to an English class setting can be debated. Classroom or student activities that focus on acquiring general business knowledge and language skills are not effective when trying to drive transferable skills into their daily learning environment. This includes activities such as meeting specific deadlines for producing university portfolios (in former places like your personal office), conducting meetings via Skype (sound quality varies and both the parties are often recording their own files), or toying with Microsoft Word spreadsheets.<\/p>\n
Being able to function in social situations is a key part of life. We are taught how to behave at school, but you need to know almost all business schools do not provide students with HOW TO BE SOCIAL while they attend their classes and work on projects outside of the classroom as teamwork. Therefore, teachers need to make extensive use of activities that teach learners how to be socially efficient between themselves as well as with different groups within their system or country. Business students often have to communicate with people from different cultures, who speak very differently from them.<\/p>\n
This is not being a passive listener. Active Listening means that you can:<\/p>\n
This might seem like common sense: ‘Do your best, but few students are actually encouraged to take this part into consideration while they practice their other skills above. The 5\/10ths trick is all very well and a great way of slightly improving everything, but it is unrealistic if you want to learn how to be social without any real help. Moreover, there are instances when partially failing could actually give you the greatest learning benefit while only giving partial results.<\/p>\n
Because they are being taught how to do things, 10 students acting individually in the hope of getting different results is not going to work. The way you should be expressing your ideas\/desires is far more effective by giving it credibility and therefore bringing about change for yourself and others faster. Here are a few ways that could help:<\/p>\n
This is a skill one must develop better. A career as an auto mechanic does not enable you to negotiate for any repair despite the provider whether he accepts or opposes your conditions, and vice versa. If several people work together in an order-book system at bookstores each customer has his own bookshelves…if there are only three of them all 3 have the same shelf but if they want another book now it’s difficult because they cannot agree on which one is going to have the book.<\/p>\n
This is the least useful part they help students a lot whether it’s in the business or HR field these are often confused with argumentative skills. Arguing isn’t necessary until one side wins and that can be detrimental to both parties with legal consequences if it gets out of hand. Plus very few people create campaigns for any cause unless carrying something positive before getting there.<\/p>\n
