Methodology Overview: Conversational Business-English Speaking Course

This methodology has been devised for the most effective instruction in Business English, with due regard for the specific needs of our target learners. The course is dedicated to cultivating the linguistic skills essential for professional communication. In total, the programme comprises 16 lessons, each designed to expand your active vocabulary by at least six new words or phrases. Below is a concise outline of our approach and its principal components.

1. Course Aims and Objectives

Our Conversational Business-English Speaking Course seeks to develop the key language competences required in a professional environment:

  • Expansion of Active Vocabulary

    Acquire a minimum of 96 new, business-relevant words and expressions over the course of 16 lessons.

  • Enhancement of Communicative Skills

    Gain the ability to conduct business conversations, articulate your viewpoints, discuss professional topics and resolve conflicts with confidence.

  • Deepening of Professional Context Comprehension

    Explore business themes through authentic materials, including articles, case studies and group discussions.

  • Boosting of Confidence in Language Use

    Practise in real-world scenarios such as job interviews, team meetings and business problem analyses.

2. Course Structure

The course consists of 16 sessions, tailored to three proficiency levels: B1+ (Lower-Intermediate), B2 (Upper-Intermediate) and C1 (Advanced). Each lesson incorporates the following elements:

  • WARM-UPS

    Activate prior knowledge and engage students in the topic through discussion, brainstorming and speculative questions.

    Example: Debating the concept of a “toxic workplace” and sharing personal experiences to establish context and spark interest.

  • VOCABULARY

    Intensive study of key terms and expressions via matching exercises, gap-fills and precise definitions.

    Progressive complexity: B1+ lessons include words such as “secure” and “betray”; B2 lessons feature “ruthless” and “justify”; C1 lessons introduce “veracity” and “permeate”.

  • WORD RECOGNITION

    Tasks requiring the identification of target vocabulary in context to reinforce retention and enhance reading speed.

  • PRE-OR POST-COMPREHENSION

    Comprehension checks on the core article, including True/False statements, detailed questions and text reconstruction tasks. These activities hone reading and analytical skills.

  • POST-COMPREHENSION

    In-depth thematic discussions demanding reasoned arguments, personal anecdotes and critical thinking.

    Example: Debating why someone might choose to work in a toxic environment, or proposing strategies for fostering a positive workplace culture.

  • STUDENT HANDOUTS

    Level-appropriate, authentic articles accompanied by gap-fill and listening exercises, which develop reading, listening and writing abilities.

  • EXTENDED LISTENING

    Listening activities with fill-in-the-blank transcripts to improve aural comprehension and contextual understanding.

3. Pedagogical Principles

Our course is underpinned by the following principles:

  • Communicative Approach

    Emphasis on spoken interaction through discussions, role-plays and business scenarios.

    For instance: “Would you want to work at a company like Amazon?”

  • Differentiated Instruction

    Materials are suitably tailored for B1+, B2 and C1 levels, accounting for vocabulary complexity, grammatical demands and depth of analysis.

  • Contextual Learning

    Every task is directly linked to the lesson theme, ensuring full immersion in a business context. Authentic case studies make learning both practical and motivating.

  • Interactivity and Engagement

    Use of pair and group work, brainstorming sessions and dynamic discussions promotes active participation and collaboration.

  • Multimodality

    A balanced integration of reading, listening, writing and speaking ensures comprehensive skill development.

  • Authentic Materials

    Real business cases—such as the article on Amazon’s toxic workplace—keep the course timely and engaging.

  • Focus on Critical Thinking

    Analytical tasks (e.g. “What are some ideas to maximise employee productivity?”) cultivate problem-solving abilities essential for the modern professional.
