Editor's Notes
Write some correct examples on flipchart paper and place out of view. Ask students to pair up. 1 person walks off to read the sentences, then comes back, tell the pair. The partner writes down what they hear. Then compare.
There is a game, where there are flashcards of common business verbs, studetsn are given the falshcards and are asked to speak out using the form suggested. For example, “could you please write”
