How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The video runs three minutes and nine seconds and is a short performance review between a manager and an employee. It carries the replies for accepting praise, for taking criticism and for setting goals for the next year, and the workplace words that go with them: delegation, efficiency, quarterly check-in and time management. A transcript sits beside it.

How to use this resource:

You watch the dialogue once, then again with the transcript, repeating each reply after the speaker. Because it lasts three minutes you can run it several times in one sitting, until the answers to praise and to criticism come without thinking. Then write your own goal for the year in the pattern the employee uses.
