The video illustrates both bad and good extracts from meetings for analysis and discussion. In each unit, it demonstrates what can go wrong in different situations, and why. It looks at ways to avoid such problems, and provides a positive model for learners to follow.
Effective Meetings is intended for intermediate and upper-intermediate level students, and lends itself both to classroom-based teaching and elements of self-study. It can be used as a short intensive specialist course, or integrated into a wider-ranging Business English programme.
The course consists of four interdependent components: a 30 minute video, accompanying Student's Book, audio cassette, and Teacher's Book.
Effective Meetings was developed from materials used by York Associates, a specialist language and communications training partnership based in York, England. Vissza
