Lesson overview:
In this Business English lesson, students explore professional self-awareness tools through CliftonStrengths and MBTI. They watch two contrasting videos, build advanced language for discussing evidence and performance, and compare strengths-based claims with scientific criticism.
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- compare different approaches to identifying professional strengths;
- use advanced collocations to discuss evidence, talent, and performance;
- build and defend a position in a business discussion.
Lead-in:
Start with a pair discussion about working styles, conflict, decision-making, and how students recharge after a busy day. Students compare their answers and discuss whether they use any tools for self-awareness. This naturally introduces the idea of professional profiling and how it can influence decisions at work.
