Instructional Ideas

  • Create a unit based on active listening and communication, or weave the practices into your everyday class environment by reinforcing the listed skills

  • Incorporate into a unit about social media, or careers and business letters
  • Use with an extracurricular club, such as debate or peer counseling

Classroom Considerations

  • Lessons are designed for people who are creating their own business plans, specifically for translation and Braille transcription businesses, but the activities and instructions are applicable to any class focusing on listening and speaking skills
  • Format of the lesson is a seminar, but you could find what you need in the activities and exercises

Pros

  • Provides templates and examples of business letters
  • Promotes listening skills and strong communication skills

Cons
