Teaching Communications - Work and Business

AsalamoAlaikumWarahammatullawabarakatahu

With the exams up and coming (March 2007) questions are being asked about what to teach?

It might seem like it is a bit late in the day, but there is still hope. Besides, we are in this together and are going to make a point of helping each other - YOU CAN DO THIS BY ADDING A COMMENT BELOW so that we know what you are thinking about.

In addition to the text that we use called FIFTY-FIFTY, I have been seeing if students are able to discuss the themes they have studied in the 'Skills in English Series'. This is definitely a resource for exam questions.

The sub-themes that have been covered in Level 2 Theme 3 Work and Business are:

-Time & Yourself
-How to spend $10,000
-Are you Young & Energetic?

In class I got the students to give me a one minute talk on how they manage their time. It was interesting, but importantly allowed them to express themselves about the subject at hand.

Now, for the perseptive teacher, I'm sure it will not take long to work out what other kinds of questions could be asked in the exams based on the three sub-themes above.

Even if you cannot talk about everything, the chances are that the items have already been discussed in another class.

The exam format is likely to be like a one-to-one interview.

Now, I wonder what I would do if I had a $1,000,000 !!
