Topic: Business communication: encouraging conversation. Practically speaking: ending and leaving a conversation

Aim: to develop students’ speaking and listening skills in business communication by practicing how to start, maintain, and end conversations politely. Students will learn strategies for encouraging small talk and leaving a conversation appropriately.

Methodical recommendations:

Encourage students to participate in role-plays and pair work to practice realistic business conversations.
Pre-teach useful phrases and vocabulary for starting, maintaining, and ending conversations.
Focus on politeness, tone, and body language, not just words.
Use listening exercises to model natural conversation and intonation.
Provide feedback and correction on grammar, pronunciation, and appropriateness of phrases.

Procedure:

1.When you meet someone for the first time, how do you encourage conversation? What kinds of topics normally motivate other people to make conversation?

2. Read the tips and decide which five are the most useful (Ex 2, p. 14).

3. Be ready with the assignments 3, 4, 5 on page 14, 15.
