B1: Effective Video Conferencing

To deepen your understanding of effective video conferencing, students can engage in supplementary activities that target key language skills while exploring the best practices for professional virtual meetings. These exercises focus on vocabulary, grammar, listening, reading, and writing, all centered around the topic of effective video conferencing. Here’s how students can benefit: Vocabulary Building: Activities like matching definitions and sentence completion with terms such as "mute," "frame," and "trial run" help students confidently use relevant vocabulary when discussing and participating in video conferences. Grammar Practice: Grammar exercises involve constructing sentences related to video conferencing etiquette, such as, "You should mute your microphone if you’re not speaking," allowing students to practice conditionals and modal verbs in context. Listening Skills Development: Listening exercises, including videos or discussions on the dos and don'ts of video conferencing, provide real-life examples and help students improve their comprehension of spoken English in professional settings. Reading Comprehension: By reading articles or case studies about best practices for video conferencing, students can analyze strategies for effective communication, enhancing their reading skills and critical thinking. Writing Improvement: Writing tasks, such as composing emails to set up virtual meetings or drafting tips for video calls, encourage students to express their understanding of how to conduct professional video conferences. These exercises help them develop clarity and coherence in written communication.
