Create a Company!

GROUP WORK
This was the first group work I suggested to my class. They worked on it very well. I must say that the presentations were very good as they tried hard always to speak in English and they also interacted with each other (group to group) asking and answering questions about their brand new invented companies.
Well done class!

Company Presentation 1

Here is the first work proposal from the previous module (Module 4: Company Presentation).
The class did very well (apart from two trainees that didn't do it at all). This blog didn't exist then, so the works weren´t published. However, I expect them to be published when we come back from holidays. That is in September ;-)

WRITTEN WORK 1

Draw the organization chart of your company. Include:

· the different departments

· your and other departments’ responsibilities, duties, daily routines
