LESSON OVERVIEW

This is a reading and vocabulary worksheet which you can use with your Business English students. They will read some original blog article where an expert talks about negotiation skills and tips. The text is packed with nice and useful language that your students will learn as well as practise by getting engaged into a meaningful work-related conversation.

DISCUSSION

The worksheet starts with a short discussion about negotiation skills. Students get a list of negotiation skills and they have to say what they mean in their opinion. Monitor the discussion and set some time limit for it as some students might get into really extensive discussions about these negotiation skills.

READING & VOCABULARY

Next, students read the text and compare the ideas they’ve come up with during the discussion. In the next task, students have to find some words and phrases in the text and match them to the correct meanings. The worksheet ends with a fill-in the gaps exercise. Students have to complete a few questions with the vocabulary from the text. After that, they can work in pairs, and ask and answer these questions.
