Lesson overview:
In this Business English lesson, students learn how to write clear, polite, and effective follow-up emails for real professional situations.
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- recognise when a follow-up email is appropriate,
- structure a professional follow-up email clearly,
- use polite, non-pushy follow-up language,
- write a concise follow-up email with a clear call to action.
Lead-in:
Students start by ranking common professional situations where follow-up emails are needed, such as after a job interview, sending a proposal, or networking. This discussion helps learners reflect on urgency, tone, and professional expectations before focusing on email language.
