LESSON OVERVIEW

In this lesson, students discuss the idea of stay interviews in depth and learn phrases which are useful to talk about employer-employee relationship.

B2 / Upper Intermediate30 minCritical Reading ClubUnlimited Plan

This is a Critical Reading Club worksheet. With this format, students need to read an online article at home and do the exercises in the classroom. Learn more about how to use such worksheets and their benefits in our post.

ACTIVITIES

The lesson starts with an activity in which students use what they remember from the article to finish two sentences about stay interviews. Then, they read five sentences and decide if they are true or false. The sentences refer to employer-employee relationship and contain useful phrases from the article (e.g. be on the fence, be short of choice, get your point across). After that, students move on to the discussion part of the lesson where they share their views on the idea of stay interviews and decide how useful they can be for companies and employees. Finally, students read five sample questions from a stay interview. Their task is to discuss how they would change them so that they are more appropriate for an interview of this kind.
