Business Etiquette ESL Lesson Plan Description

This free business etiquette ESL lesson plan contains PDF worksheets, activities, and digital materials for A2 and B1 students. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to communicate in a variety of business scenarios using proper business etiquette, recognise the importance of maintaining effective non-verbal communication, and apply professional behaviour in various workplace scenarios.

This ESL lesson plan on business etiquette starts with discussion questions for students on their own experiences maintaining professionalism in the workplace. They will explore the qualities and factors that contribute to proper business etiquette, such as maintaining full attention, and giving a firm handshake. The discussion then goes into the complexities of business etiquette and its impact on professional relationships, emphasising the significance of good eye contact, being an active listener, and leaving a strong impression.

VIDEO & LISTENING COMPREHENSION

In this engaging video, students learn valuable tips for improving their business etiquette skills. They will watch and listen to a presentation that covers the basics of business etiquette in the workplace. Students will be encouraged to pay full attention to key information about effective communication, body language, and the use of proper vocabulary. This listening exercise will allow them to check their understanding and reinforce the concepts discussed, enabling them to practice good eye contact, be active listeners, and leave a strong impression.

DISCUSSION & COLLOCATIONS

Following the video, students will expand their vocabulary related to business etiquette. Students will learn important collocations related to business etiquette, including good eye contact, active listener, strong impression, full attention, friendly and professional tone, and a firm handshake. Students can then use these collocations in conversations to help them enhance their communication skills in professional settings.

As a bonus grammar activity, students will focus on using gerunds as sentence subjects. This will reinforce their understanding of sentence structure and help them express actions related to business etiquette, such as maintaining good eye contact, being an active listener, and leaving a strong impression.

BUSINESS ETIQUETTE COMMUNICATIVE TASKS

In addition to vocabulary and grammar exercises, students will engage in a communication task that simulates real-life business scenarios. They will apply their newly acquired knowledge of business etiquette to navigate challenging situations and communicate appropriately. A quiz and review section will assess their understanding of the lesson material, and a lesson reflection will encourage students to reflect on their learning experiences.

Benefits of using this business etiquette ESL lesson plan:

This Business English lesson plan on business etiquette provides a comprehensive and interactive learning experience for A2/B1 level students. It equips them with essential skills and knowledge to navigate professional settings with confidence and make a positive impression.

The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past participle of a verb.

We use the present perfect:

They've been marriedfor nearly fifty years.
Shehas lived in Liverpool all her life.

when we are talking about our experience up to the present:

I've seen that film before.
I've played the guitar ever since I was a teenager.
Hehas written three books and he is working on another one.

We often use the adverb ever to talk about experience up to the present:

My last birthday was the worst day I have ever had.

and we use never for the negative form:

I can't get in the house. I've lost my keys.
Teresa isn't at home. I think shehas gone shopping.

have been and have gone

But when someone has not returned, we use have/has gone:

A: Where's Maria? I haven't seen her for weeks.
B: She's gone to Paris for a week. She'll be back tomorrow.

Present perfect with time adverbials

We often use the present perfect with adverbials which refer to the recent past:

or adverbials which include the present:

After a clause with the present perfect we often use a clause with since to show when something started in the past:
Level: intermediate
Present perfect continuous

The present perfect continuous is formed with have/has been and the of the verb.

We normally use the present perfect continuous to emphasise that something is still continuing in the present:

She has been living in Liverpool all her life.
It's been raining for hours.
I'm tired out. I've been working all day.
Theyhave been staying with us since last week.

We do not normally use the present perfect continuous with stative verbs. We use the present perfect simple instead:

Present perfect for future

We normally use the present simple to talk about the future in clauses with before, after, until, etc.:

I'll keep looking until I find my book.
We'll beginwhen everyone arrives.

but we can also use the present perfect:

I'll keep looking until I have found my book.
We'll beginwhen everyone has arrived.

Look at these examples to see how will, going to and the present continuous are used.

Oh great! That meeting after work's been cancelled. I'll go to that yoga class instead.
I'm going to try to visit my relatives in Australia this year.
The restaurant is reserved for 8. We're having a drink at Beale's first.

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Grammar explanation

We use different verb forms to talk about our plans for the future, depending on what kind of plan it is: a spontaneous plan, a pre-decided plan or an arrangement.

We use will to talk about spontaneous plans decided at the moment of speaking.

Oops, I forgot to phone Mum! I'll do it after dinner.
I can't decide what to wear tonight. I know! I'll wear my green shirt.
There's no milk. I'll buy some when I go to the shops.

We use going to to talk about plans decided before the moment of speaking.

I'm going to phone Mum after dinner. I told her I'd call at 8 o'clock.
I'm going to wear my black dress tonight.
I'm going to go to the supermarket after work. What do we need?

Present continuous

We usually use the present continuous when the plan is an arrangement - already confirmed with at least one other person and we know the time and place.

I'm meeting Jane at 8 o'clock on Saturday.
We're having a party next Saturday. Would you like to come?

We often use the present continuous to ask about people's future plans.

Are you doing anything interesting this weekend?

Do this exercise to test your grammar again.

Comprehension questions

See answers below

1. The escape velocity is
a. the maximum mass of an object travelling into space
b. the minimum mass of an object to be a strong source of gravity
c. the minimum constant speed of an object travelling into space

2. The escape velocity of Earth is about
a. 9.8 km/s
b. 11.2 km/s
c. 40,000 km/s

3. It would be easiest to launch an object from
a. Earth
b. the Moon
c. a black hole

Discussion/essay questions

Reaching outer space was an important achievement in human history. What kinds of space exploration do you think will be possible in the future?

Transcript

Every source of gravity in the universe has an escape velocity. This is the minimum constant speed that an object has to travel to fully escape from a planet or star and enter outer space. For an object of any mass to be launched into space from Earth, it must be travelling at about 11.2 km/s, or 40,000 km/h. To determine escape velocity, scientists need to know the mass and radius of the source of gravity. Escape velocity increases for planets and stars with more mass. It would be easier to launch something from the Moon than from Earth. For a black hole, which has infinite density, the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. This is why nothing can possibly escape from its gravity.

SUSAN: Mary?
MARY: Hi.
SUSAN: Hello. I'm Susan Thompson, Human Resource Manager here.
MARY: Hi. I'm Mary Hansen, and I'm applying for one your kitchen jobs.
SUSAN: Great.
MARY: Here's a copy of my resume.
SUSAN: Great. Have a seat, Mary.
MARY: Thank you.
SUSAN: Mary, do you have any experience working in the kitchen?
MARY: No, but I want to learn. I work hard and I cook a lot at home.
SUSAN: Okay, well, tell me about yourself.
MARY: Well, I love to learn new things. I'm very organized, and I follow directions exactly. Uh, that's
why my boss at my last job made me a trainer, and the company actually gave me a special
certificate for coming to work on time every day for a year. And I'm taking an English class to
improve my writing skills.
SUSAN: That's great. Why did you leave your last job?
MARY: It was graveyard, and I need to work days.
SUSAN: I see. Well, what hours can you work?
MARY: Um, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
SUSAN: Okay, well, do you have any questions for me, Mary?
MARY: Yes, what kind of training is needed?
SUSAN: Not a lot. Most new workers can learn everything the first day. Do you have any other
questions?
MARY: No, I don't think so, but I've heard a lot of good things about your company, and I would
really like to work here.
SUSAN: Well, I have a few more interviews to do today, but I will call you tomorrow if you get the
job.
MARY: Okay.
SUSAN: It was sure nice to meet you.
MARY: Nice meeting you, too. Thank you so much for your time.
SUSAN: Yes, good luck.
MARY: Thank you
