3. Confirming agreements and
decisions
 Check what has already been agreed or decided at the pre-
course needs analysis stage before you start planning any
new course.
 If there is something which is unclear to you or which you
feel may be ambiguous ,check with the people who dealt
with the pre-course needs analysis.

4.  Note in particular who your contact person is,when
you consider the information on a new course.
 Make sure you are introduced to this contact person.

5.  You can use this meeting to confirm what you
understand from the needs analysis.
 At this stage,it is useful to confirm practical
arrangements.

6. Pre-course panic
 As a relatively inexperienced Business English
teacher,you may feel a sense of panic when faced with
information on what has been agreed or promised for
a Business English course,or when led into a slick
business environment to meet an elegantly-dressed
contact person.

7. Planning to accurately reflect
needs analysis
Advantages of planning carefully a course:
1) No need to worry about how balanced and
appropriate the course materials and focus areas are.
2) The students will have a good idea of where the
course is going and will feel reassured that they are
getting a programme designed to fit their needs.
3) The client coordinator have increased confidence in
the institution providing the language programme.

8. When planning a course
Use a range of planning techniques:
 Collate the list of priorities drawn up during the pre-
course needs analysis.
 Collect and review comments made by the key
manager during the initial needs analysis.
 Make lists of sponsors’ or students’ “needs” and
“wants” based on information gleaned from needs
analysis course.....

9. Check and re-check your planning in terms of needs
analysis.
Be realistic about timeframes.
Produce paperwork which acts as PR documents.
Get and incorporate feedback on draft plans.
Keep everyone informed of your conclusions.

change.

21. Thinking how to addresss students
 Addressing students appropriately is important in
the Business English context.
 Using an appropriate style of language is primarily
important because of number of reasons.

22.  It makes students feel they are being treated with
respect.
 Your style of language may affect your
students’impression of you as a professional.
 It is often the language a teacher uses in class which
students pick up first.

23.  Even when teaching low-level students,language can
be carefully selected so that it seems respectful.
 All students should be able to cope with the
language you choose if you make a habit of following
more sophisticated expressions with simpler versions
of the same thing.

24.  Accompanying the words you select for any level of
student with the appropriate paralinguistic features
will also ensure that your simplified versions of
expressions are interpreted as respectful.

25.  The precise style of language you use needs to be
adapted according to the students’present or future
work environment.

26.  It is important not to become too familiar with
students.
 It is sometimes useful to compare your language
with that of a manager chairing a daily departmental
or interdepartmental meeting.
This does,of course,mean that there is still plenty of
room for humour.

27. Starting the course
The beginning of a course is an important time
because it is then that you set the tone of the entire
course, know more about the students...
Beware of judging students too quickly.
The aims behind starting a new course: clarify
practical arrangements, introduce the class rules,
motivate students, help students get to know each
other.....
It s a kind of introduction; introduce yourself, outline
the course’s main objectives, stress that the course
aims are to fulfil the students needs....

self-reliance

31. Setting home work
It is a way to promote autonomous learning, so as to achieve
good results:
 doing homework as a habit
Make as man assignments as possible.
Make all home work as work-related as possible.*
Encourage students to adapt their home work to their need.
Make home work interesting, sufficiently useful and address
the needs of the students.
 provide a model

32. Ongoing approaches

students on an ongoing basis
Write objectives of the lesson and let them decide
what to start with
Review and discuss with them the objectives.
 look for other materials
Review the deadlines, progress and the prioritises.
Give the students opportunities to give feedback,
and then respond to it.
