Business is ready for the right skills | Education | Guardian Weekly - 0 views

  • We are not experts on how to give an effective presentation, lead a successful meeting or network at conferences.
  • Terms such as meetings, presentations, telephoning, socialising and negotiating help to define what business people need to do in English.
  • Successful businesses people are multi-taskers and multi-skilled. They don't walk into a presentation and only "present". They also socialise with audience members beforehand and write emails to follow up contacts afterwards.

  • Students also seem familiar with them and more readily respond to a lesson aimed at teaching the language for something practical like how to "socialise at dinner" than distinguishing between the past simple and present perfect
  • Comfort sees many of the old skills as channels we use to communicate rather than as skills on their own. So while the channel might be a conversation via an online webcam, he says "skills such as 'active listening', 'exposing your intention', 'influencing' are the underlying skills that support all communication.
  • Giving feedback or providing the tools for learners to assess their own performance, for example by videoing a student, is part of this process. With groups we can encourage peer feedback and allow classrooms to become forums to discuss what is effective behaviour or successful communication
  • In the past teachers perceived that they were expected to comment on issues such as the quality of the learner's visual aids or meaningful body language. As a result, some embraced the opportunity to switch from language teacher to paralinguistic guru (with varying results) but the majority shied away from communication skills.

Spoken English for Work (SEW) - 0 views

  • SEW examinations also allow employers to place employees at the appropriate SEW exam level by using the SEWCheck - a list of can do statements which are mapped to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and each SEW level. This allows, for example, heads of departments to decide which level each employee needs to achieve in order to perform their job effectively. SEWCheck offers a placement tool and a way to measure the English language proficiency goals of the organisation
  • Please view the SEW syllabus for complete details of the SEW examinations. 
  •  
    Unfortunately, only UK residents can take the examinations, but the SEW Check linked to the CEFR can do statements and the SEW Syllabus provide very helpful resources for syllabus design.
