Linguahouse Writing a Resume Lesson Plan

Description:

Linguahouse Writing a Resume Lesson Plan is a sixty-minute Business English lesson built around a video, with student and teacher worksheets. Linguahouse publishes lesson plans and worksheets for English teachers. Students watch the video, give feedback on a sample resume and use what they find to write or improve their own afterwards. The worksheet is offered in American or British English at upper-intermediate level, and two flashcard sets go with it.

Limits of the Free Tier Plan: The lesson page, its description, the video and the choice of worksheet version can be seen without an account. This is a Silver lesson plan, so downloading the student and teacher worksheets needs a paid subscription; the free plan covers the free lesson plans only.

How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

A sixty-minute Business English lesson plan on resume writing, with a video at its centre. Students watch the video, then give feedback on a sample resume and carry what they find into writing or improving their own. The worksheet comes in American or British English and in a student or teacher version, the teacher version carrying notes and an answer key. Two flashcard sets accompany it.

How to use this resource:

You choose the worksheet version that matches the English your students will be applying in, then teach from the teacher version, which carries the notes and the key. Play the video first and let the feedback on the sample resume come from the class. The writing task belongs after the lesson, so set it as the follow-up, and the flashcard sets bring the vocabulary back later.
