Category: Business Course Date 2007-10-05 01:07:12

Good evening everyone,

Here you are all your proposals for this English Business Course. It's only a braimstorming but it can be an interesting start.  I have divided your ideas in three main categories:  Tasks, Inputs and Topics.

TASKS:

• To manage when you travel abroad (for example in a restaurant, asking for directions, shopping...)
•  To manage with phone calls.
• To write and understand emails.
• To participate in informal and formal conversations about different subjects.
• To manage giving a conference.
• To plan a meeting (how to do it) or building up an agenda.

INPUTS:

• To listen to English native speakers (language models)
• To listen and understand the lyrics of different singers with video clips, karaokes or MP3 format (U2, Eminem, The Beatles, ACDC, Elvis...)

TOPICS:

• Spanish Education (compare the present, past and future and compare it with other countries).
• The present youth.
• TV programs and their influence in the society (trash programs and News).
• How to contrast the information we received everyday by different means or media, analyse the sources from where it is conveyed under a critical and open mind.
• Differences among cultures (and influences among them, integrating cultures in a country).
• Materialistic society (values in our society).

• Common social problems from people around us.
• English people life style.
• United Kingdom (different cities, geography,...) and other countries around the world where English language is spoken.
• Political problems in Spain (things that affect us everyday).
• International EXPO 2008 in Zaragoza.
• Highway Code.
• Computer's world.  The Internet.  Technical vocabulary about computers and technical services in order to get through a complaint, to ask for information, to give some technical details...

Well, we will have a look to all this and we will decide our educational steps.

Best wishes,

Loli
