Oral Reporting
Each participant chooses an interesting work-related or general
business article in English (several are provided but they can bring
their own if they prefer), then prepares and gives an oral report on its
contents.
The language necessary for giving an informal presentation
will be input and practiced during the activity.
This activity is
video-taped and burned onto a CD for each participant to keep after the
training.

Leading a
Discussion
After giving his
or her oral report, each participant leads a discussion with the other
participants based on the contents of the article or on related topics.
The language necessary for facilitating a discussion will be input and
practiced during the activity.
This activity is captured as a video file and either copied to
the participant's notebook computer or burned onto a DVD to take
away after the course.

Participating in a
Discussion
Each participant
has the opportunity for a lot of speaking practice when others are
leading discussions.
The topics are always interesting and related in
some way to the professional interests of the group members.
Vocabulary Building
Strategy
As part of the task of oral reporting, the discussion leader also
chooses and teaches a few new words and/or phrases from the article.
The
participants also learn an effective method for organizing and learning
vocabulary after the course.
