Ep.57. Work it – essential vocabulary
Ep.57. Work it – essential vocabulary
This is episode #57 first part of a two-part series on work and language related to professional environments. Here I discuss language for describing ‘positives’ and ‘negatives’ and their synonyms when in discussions. It’s followed by important words to describe ways of working: self-employment vs. teamwork and the language associated with these ideas.
Vocabulary in this episode: be your own boss, be accountable to sb, lucrative, to juggle work and family, encounter quiet periods, encroaches upon, to foster team spirit, mutual respect/trust, pool resources, use your initiatives, boost morale, fulfilling, to use your initiative
An ESL lesson idea for teachers on this topic should create lots of discussion, different opinions, arguments and plenty of vocabulary words. Perfect for debate scenarios and use of functional language which I discuss in this episode.
