1) T explains the task to students: Instructions: "Look at the list. Say which of the elements of corporate culture are important and which are not. Explain your answers." Anticipated problems: 2.1 B1+ Ss might not understand the meaning of "core". T asks: “What does core mean?" If none of the Ss know, T clarifies: "Central, the most important". 2.2 Unlikely, but possible: some Ss might not understand "corporate culture". T elicits from the whole class: “What do we mean by corporate culture? -> "The rules, traditions, and values in a company.” 2) T nominates Ss (if there are no volunteers), asks them to comment on the values and their importance Timing: Instructions: 1 min Open-class discussion: 3 min

1) The students are provided with three sentences beginnings. T explains the task to Ss: "Soon you will watch a video where a Human Resources specialist talks about lessons on building a great corporate culture. On the screen, you can see the beginnings of three lessons. Before we watch, work in pairs and predict how you think the sentences will end. You have two minutes." ICQs: 1) Do you have to guess the endings of lessons? (Yes) 2) How much time do you have? (2 min) 2) Ss work in breakout rooms, T observes (with camera off) and makes sure everyone understood the task. 3) Once the time is up, T nominates various Ss and gives them a chance to share their pair's predictions. Timing: Instructions: 1 min Pair-work: 2 min Post-listening: 2 min

1) Before playing the video, T provides instructions: "Now watch the video and check your ideas. Write down the REAL endings of the lessons you discussed." Anticipated problems: Ss might want to note down all 8 lessons and not be able to focus on just 3 as a result. (Solved by ICQs). ICQs: 1. Do write down all 8 lessons from the video? (No) 2. Do you you write down the endings of the three lessons you discussed? (Yes) 2) T palys the video. Ss watch and make notes. 3) Once the video is over, T gives instructions: "Now check the answers from the video in pairs. You have 2 mins" ICQs: 1. Do you compare your predictions OR lessons you heard in the video? (Lessons from the video) 2. how much time do you have? (2 mins) 4) Ss work in breakout rooms, compare answers, T monitors 5) Post-listening discussion: T asks if anyone's predictions were right Pre-viewing instructions: 30 sec Watching the video – 5 min Post-viewing instructions – 30 sec Pair check – 2 min Post-listening open class discussion: 1 min

1) T gives instructions: "Now let's take a look at some phrases from the video and learn their meanings" 2) Ss see the phrases in context on the board, the whole class participates in elicitation. *T asks questions and leads the students to the definition of the selected item. *If the Ss cannot answer the questions / don't know the word at all, T provides the definition, uses CCQs to check understanding. *The definitions are put on the board in live time by the T or revealed gradually. *After the meaning is elicited and clarified, the teacher drills the pronunciation of each item: Model → Choral → Individual 2.1 "There's all kinds of things that we call "best practices" that aren't best practices at all. How do we know it's best?" Elicitation: Does practice here mean something you do once, or something you repeat regularly? So when companies say ‘best practices,’ do they mean their worst ideas or the recommended ways of doing things? -> Definition: accepted or recommended ways of doing something in a professional context 2.2 + 2.3 "When I look at companies that are moving fast, that are really innovative and that are doing amazing things with agility and speed, it's because they're collaborative. The best thing that we can do is constantly teach each other what we do, what matters to us, what we measure (...)." Elicitation: If a company is innovative, is it repeating old methods or trying something new? Does innovation usually mean copying, or creating? -> Definition: introducing new methods or ideas Elicitation: If people are collaborative, do they work alone or with others? Does collaboration mean competing? -> Definition: working well together, sharing ideas and responsibilities 2.4 "People can't be what they can't see. We say, "Yes, we're here for equality," and then we proudly pound our chest because we'd achieved 30 percent representation of women on an executive team. Well that's not equal, that's 30 percent" Elicitation: If there is equality, do some people get more opportunities, or the same? If women are paid less than men for the same job, is that equality? -> Definition: giving everyone the same rights and opportunities 2.5 "Your company needs to live out its values. One CEO was having trouble because the company was rocky and things weren't getting done on time. This also was a man who, I observed, never showed up to any meeting on time." Elicitation: If a company says honesty is important, but lies to clients—are they living out their values? Does ‘live out’ mean only talking about something, or showing it in actions? -> Definition: put values into action, not just talk about them 2.6 "Everything's changed, all bets are off. We were running as fast as we can to the right, and now we'll take a hard left." Elicitation: If a company is running in one direction and suddenly takes a hard left, do they keep the same plan or change it? Is the change slow and small, or sudden and big? -> Definition: make a sudden and significant change of direction or strategy 2.7 “When communication is poor, staff morale usually goes down” Elicitation: If morale goes down, do people feel more positive or less positive? Does morale mean their technical skills or their feelings/motivation? -> Definition: the confidence and motivation of a group of people 3) After all items have been clarified, the teacher double-checks understandings with additional CCQs in randomized order. In case there's confusion about certain items, T clarifies further. 1) Do people usually consider "best practices" effective? (Yes) 2) Does being innovative mean repeating old habits? (No) 3) Can one person alone be collaborative? (No) 4) If there is no equality, do some groups get fewer opportunities than others? (Yes) 5) If a company talks about respect but treats workers badly, is it living out its values? (No) 6) If a company takes a hard left, do they continue the same way? (No) 7) If morale is low, do people feel happy at work? (No) Timing: Elicitation & clarification: 8 min Extra CCQs: 4 min

1) T provides instructions: "Replace the highlighted words and phrases with those in the boxes. Let's do the first one together" -> DEMO (with the help of one student) "Now complete the rest of the exercise individually. You have 2 min" 2) Ss work individually for 2 min 3) T provides instructions: "Now compare your answers in pairs. You have 2 min" 4) Ss check in pairs, T monitors 5) Once the Ss are back, T provides answers on the presentation slides to double-check (gives extra clarification in case some confusion was present in breakoutvrooms) Timing: Instructions + Demo with 1 student: 1 min Individual work: 2 min Pair check instructions (30 sec) + pair check: 2.5 min Whole-class feedback (answers on slides + clarification): 1.5 min

1) T gives instructions: "Now discuss the questions in pairs. You will have 6 minutes for that. When the time is up, be ready to report on what you disagree on with your partner" ICQs: 1. What do you have to remember after the speaking activity? (What you disagree on with your partner) 2. How much time do you have? (6 min) 2) Ss work in breakout rooms, T monitors, collects language for delayed error correction / feedback 3) Once time is up, T nominates Ss to report on their disagreements (if any arose). Timing: Instructions: 1 min Pair-work: 6 min OCFB: 3 min

1) T gives instructions: "Work in pairs. Choose two corporate cultures from the list. Discuss whether these cultures would work for your company. If a culture would not work, say what kind of companies might want to adopt it. Use the phrases we learned today to explain your points of view. You have 6 minutes."| *The TL is added to the slide to draw Ss' attention to it and prompt them to use it ICQs: 1. Do you need to talk about all four cultures? (No, just two.) 2. If one culture doesn’t work for your company, do you still need to say something about it? (Yes, say what kind of company might adopt it.) 3. Should you use the new vocabulary in your answers? (Yes) 4. How much time do you have? (6 minutes.) 2) Ss work in breakout rooms, T monitors, assists if necessary, collects language for Delayed feedback

T elicits corrections from the whole class, drills pronunciation if necessary T praises concrete Ss & the whole group for good language usage
