Description New series! English for Professionals Series objective: This series will help those preparing to use English in the workplace as well as those already in the workforce. This is NOT traditional Business English (negotiating, presenting, interviewing, etc.) The lessons in this series will help learners gain confidence in talking about work and work-related matters. Target skills of series: listening, speaking, and vocabulary. Levels: intermediate to advanced. LESSON 1 Topic: Commuting Guest Teacher: Dave Sconda (Scroll down for the transcript.) Note: A downloadable version of this video is available on Vimeo under the name JenniferESL. NOTE: I'm very sorry to announce as of January 2012 links to EnglishCafe will no longer be active due to the site closing. I was very lucky to be a part of that online community while it lasted. I'm also sorry for the loss of additional materials for learners. TEACHERS: Related classroom ideas are posted on my WordPress blog. englishwithjennifer.wordpress.com Also, consider using the following discussion questions as a post-viewing activity: 1. Do you agree or disagree with Dave's views on work? What's the most important thing about a job? What do you value most in your work? 2. Do you agree or disagree with Dave regarding the importance of a commute? Is there any job worth a long commute in your opinion? 3. Do you agree or disagree with Jennifer's views on telecommuting? Is it a good alternative to working in an office? MUSIC CREDIT: "Zx5 <b>...</b>
