How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The page explains why feedback in a second language is hard, then takes four strategies one at a time, each with a workplace scenario and the exact words to say: a logo design, a late report, a missed deadline and a new team member's mistake. It also warns where the sandwich method confuses people, and ends with other learners' attempts in the comments.

How to use this resource:

You read the four strategies and pick the one that fits the conversation you have to have. Rewrite its model sentence with your own project and person in it, then say it aloud until it sounds calm rather than harsh. Compare your version with the sentences other learners left in the comments and with the teacher's answers to them.
