Business roleplays

The task is designed as a communicative activity in which students should interact with one another and perform different roles with the aim of finding solutions to different business problems. From the methodological viewpoint, the activity in each unit is intended to develop and enhance students fluency in the language. In this particular case, the simulation is meant to enhance students negotiating skills by encouraging them to put into practice the linguistic strategies used in negotiations presented in the previous unit. Students should perform the role of directors of Auric Bank and hold a meeting to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the cost-cutting proposals presented for improving the profitability of the company. The aim of the activity is to express dissent with the interlocutors proposal and to use persuasion techniques, a widely used strategy in negotiations, with a view to convincing the addressee that their proposal is the most suitable for the bank.
