How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The post describes a ninety-minute class for B2 corporate learners. It opens with a jargon-filled email to decode, moves to acronyms, then to a short video whose transcript carries forty-two jargon items, thirteen of them gapped for listening. Matching and gap-fill tasks follow, and the class ends with a role-play on falling morale. Three files are attached.

How to use this resource:

Download the three files and teach the class as it stands, or take the parts you need. The email at the start shows you at once how much jargon your learners can decode, and the video gives them the same language at speed. The matching and gap-fill tasks carry the meanings, and the role-play makes each learner use the phrases aloud. The teacher notes carry the answers.
