SUMMARY:OUP-Eltas Business English Day
DESCRIPTION:Join OUP and Eltas for an informative day featuring two interes
 ting business English themes!\nPart 1\nVocabulary. It’s only words.\nOn
 e of the most regularly requested areas for improvement on Business Englis
 h course is vocabulary. From Victorian parlour games to 21st century apps\
 , we all have our favourite ways of helping students improve their knowled
 ge of and ability to use the right word in the right place. In this worksh
 op I will look at the ten most popular vocabulary activities based on a re
 cent poll of international teachers of English and discuss how useful they
  really are. We will work out what a learner has to do if they really want
  to increase their active vocabulary.\n Bio-data Robert McLarty\nRobert M
 cLarty is a freelance EFL consultant who writes materials\, trains teacher
 s\, teaches EAP at Oxford University and is the editor of Modern English T
 eacher. In his career he has worked in Hastings\, Paris and Oxford as a la
 nguage school director\, teacher-trainer and ELT publisher. \nPart 2\nCri
 tical thinking in Business English\nAs Business English teachers\,we are f
 amiliar with skills such as presenting and negotiating but perhaps fewer o
 f us consider how the skill of critical thinking impacts on Business Engli
 sh teaching. \nAnd yet critical thinking is regarded as one of the key twe
 nty-first century skills that employees look for in a candidate when recru
 iting. Critical thinking skills are also listed as a key objective on many
  MBA and university-based business programmes. In this session\,we’ll ex
 plore the place of critical thinking in business and then we’ll try out 
 a variety of practical classroom activities which develop both language sk
 ills and critical thinking skills. The session will draw on the Talking Po
 int feature in the new edition of Business Result.\nBio-data John Hughes\n
