EnglishClub – Business English: Meetings
EnglishClub – Business English: Meetings is a six part lesson that follows one fictional company, Paris Tours, through a single meeting from the first invitation to the closing words. The owner calls four supervisors together to discuss the coming season, and each page shows one stage: the vocabulary of meetings, preparing and writing an agenda, opening with small talk, a welcome and roll call, keeping to the agenda, and closing. A vocabulary quiz and a skills test come with it.
100% Free (unlimited): The whole lesson is open to anyone: the six pages, the meetings vocabulary list, the vocabulary quiz and the skills test, with no account and no payment at any point. EnglishClub carries advertising on its pages, and nothing in this lesson is held back behind it.
How It Helps Your Business English
The page opens on why meetings run long and what keeps one on course, then sets out the scenario: Pierre, who owns Paris Tours, calls his four supervisors to a meeting about the coming season. Links lead to the seven parts that follow: meetings vocabulary, a vocabulary quiz, preparing for a meeting, opening a meeting, following the agenda, closing a meeting and a skills test.
You follow one meeting from beginning to end rather than collecting phrases out of context, which shows you where each expression belongs. Read the vocabulary page first, then the four stage pages in order, and use the quiz and the skills test to find what did not stay. The agenda and roll call pages are the ones to reread before you chair a meeting yourself.
