This course looks at the ever-growing trend of remote work, be it working from home or from any other location outside your office. There is an introduction to some of the most popular time management theories such as the Pareto Principle (or the 80-20 rule), the Eisenhower Matrix and SWOT analysis with explanations about what they are as wel as suggestions about how to apply them to our own working routines. The topics are dealt with through listening and reading activities which incorporate the language necessary to ask for and give advice, recognise common verb-noun colocations, talk about technology and to discuss time management. The grammar points covered range from conditionals, relative pronouns to modal verbs for advice, as wel as the structures and tenses natura ly occurring in the reading and listening texts. Folowing on from remote work, the course goes on to look at the factors to take into account when giving virtual training sessions from planning the session or programme to giving the training course. Lessons include reading texts with gaps and comprehension questions as wel as listening exercises. The course includes a review of the vocabulary and content to recycle and reinforce the language covered. There are speaking and writing assignments as wel as role-plays covering some of the topics explored in the course, providing an opportunity for free practice.
