Business English Allure with Ellen Dubois

We all need an online lesson plan about job interviewing. Here's a new one that I like because it starts off with some funny, and cynical definitions for cover letter etc. It covers the STAR Method of answering "Tell me about the time.." questions. There's listening and a video as well. The free website seems worth looking into. https://esl-plans.com/?fbclid=Iwb21leATenzhjbGNrBN6exWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHi8IUZzXsa_k2SDE9_iss_vtAHPxf1cshNY7c38qoM7LnYdQn8uLf9F99F9p_aem_r9pxb6bJ847gi4vYl6u6cQ -the-star-method-job-interview

How to ace a teaching interview? Recall 2-3 stories from classroom experience, practice them and link those stories back to classic interview questions. It's not the time to be vague. I really enjoyed reading this article thinking back to a time just after the 2008 worldwide recession when I had to work at five different language schools just to keep my schedule full. School directors asked me about lesson prep and content selection, how I tailor content for level and interests, and how I manage groups. What kinds of questions were you asked that you "aced" with a related story?

Videos spark interest in class. Sprouts is an educational channel with free videos for teachers. I watched the "Peter Principal" and "the Duning-Krugar Effect" and enjoyed them both. Many more topics here. I'd suggest dropping any video into AI (I use Gemini) to get a transcript, and ask for a vocabulary game, comprehension questions or discussion questions.

Looking for free readymade worksheets on business topics? I just did a search on their site for workplace topics and here's the list. A worksheet is still just a worksheet but spice it up by asking AI to make flash cards, or vocabulary cards to play a game I love where one person in the group gives a definition and the others guess the word.
