Students with a keen interest in how business culture businesses operate will love this class. In the lesson plan, participants will explore a multitude of areas related to corporate culture while learning new words, phrases and grammar.

Students will investigate Microsoft’s culture through analysing an informative article which will give them an insight into their culture. In addition, learners will explore the topic through a variety of vocabulary and speaking exercises.

We particularly love the ‘Corporate Culture Debate’ exercise, this intriguing task stimulates an interesting debate in a safe, structured environment. All exercises encourage students to use their newly acquired language. We are sure you are going to love this ESL Business lesson plan! Activities:
