Six lesson plans:
‘Spoken grammar’ is the research-based grammar that occurs in natural conversation, but is rarely featured in traditional teaching materials. ‘Business grammar’ focuses on the key grammar for business and management essays, and formal writing (such as reports) in the workplace.
Please feel free to use the plans below with your college or workplace students in any way that suits your classroom or online requirements. You are welcome to copy, adapt and print them from the web pages or after downloading the Word documents below. (You may need to 'enable editing' in the Word doc to make changes and use any links.)
