Congratulations!

You have been assigned a project to work on as a team!

Your overall mark will be based on your group effort and your final product.

Blah … blah … Blah … Blah …Blah … blah … Blah … Blah …

We interrupt this lesson with a look inside your head…

Why should my mark depend

on other people?

So-and-so is very bossy and takes over everything!

I hate team work!

I always end up doing all the work!

So, you’ve been assigned a project. Great!

Here’s your chance to work on something that answers the

age old student question;

“When am I ever going to use this?”

Back to our regular

scheduled lesson!

Answer: all the time in your future job.

The projects will change, but working with other people will stay the same.

There will always be people who don’t

contribute or who bulldoze over everyone else.

Maybe even you will be one of those

people!

Here’s your chance to improve your skills on how to deal with

such situations.

You now get an opportunity to practise how you might handle these situation.

You don’t get better at something until you’re forced to practice reactions.

You’ll come up with something that will benefit the group and you!

This project is not only a learning opportunity for English, but also a learning opportunity of working

successfully with others.

The outcomes of this project are not just the end result,

it’s also the development of your collaboration skills.

So, once gain, CONGRATULATIONS!

You’ve been assigned to work on a group project!

Is entrepreneurship for you? It can be, since almost anyone can

become an entrepreneur.

Successful entrepreneurs have learned to what they do, and so can you.

Entrepreneurs tend to start ventures that build on specific skills they have already developed and

knowledge they have already acquired in certain industry.

But all entrepreneurs tend to share other, more general, skills such as communication, team building

and creative thinking skills.

Could you do the same?
