The 60 second business lesson

The kids have gone to school, my dog Chrissie is blissfully asleep on the carpet and so I have time to write my first posting. My co-author Louise Kennedy and I have written a new business resource book for B2/C1 students called Up To Speed. It's due to be published some time in the late summer to early autumn. The focus of the book is on real world business and I have started this blog to give people a flavour of the approach we take to one-to-one teaching. Many of the 60 second business lessons I publish here can be adapted for group work too. I've called them 60 second lessons because that's how long they take to set up. (Just the right thing for a Monday morning!)Once you set them up they can provide discussion for as long as you want. Or they can just be a springboard into your main lesson. You decide. I do the research and you do the experimenting. Have fun.
