In this stage of the class the students will learn about the situations when to sound professional and other things to have in mind when introducing oneself. They will follow a guideline to introduce their name, occupation, and focus on the value they can bring to certain company. I will also play about two minutes of a video exposing the subject and the target language.
In this stage of the class the students will learn examples of functional exponents that will help them to sound professional and formal. They will analyze also the stress within the sentences, and if there are any cases of connected speech.
In this stage of the class the learners will write a short dialogue in pairs, and then they will act it out having their partner to play their employer. They must use the target language for the production of the role play. If any questions may rise they will be solved.
