How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

A Conversation Club session on delegation. It gives eight business idioms with meanings and sample sentences: pass the baton, get the ball rolling, hand over the reins, put someone in the driver's seat, offload something off your plate, call the shots, take the helm and run point. Three rounds of discussion questions follow, then ten tips to sort into dos and don'ts.

How to use this resource:

Learn the eight idioms from their sample sentences first, then answer the discussion questions in each round aloud, using at least one idiom in every answer. The dos and don'ts task works well with a partner, because you have to argue for your choices. Finish with the follow-up video and the linked reading to hear the same language used again.
