Today I will introduce a business English lesson plan about advertising. I will also talk about how you can use it to practice business-related vocabulary in your ESL classroom. I know from experience that business English students always want to increase their vocabulary and conversation skills—so why not introduce it? Even if your students are not business students, you can still use this lesson because it is guaranteed to get your students talking.

Teaching Business English with Vocabulary and Discussion

This lesson plan focuses on simple concepts that students can use to practice speaking English. Since advertising is a universal topic, you can use this lesson with students of all levels and interests. In this lesson, students are introduced to vocabulary and concepts related to brands, target markets and advertising channels. Also, they will have the opportunity to talk about the pros and cons of advertising. While doing so, you can encourage your students to use adjectives to talk about their opinions and/or experiences.
