  1. Mr. Niall Douglas Week 11: The European UnionTuesday 5th April

  2. Schedule for Today • 9am-10.15am: Reading and vocab check • 10.15am-10.45am: Business Critical Thinking Skills Lecture Plan • 10.45am-11am: Sort out groups • 11.20am-12.20pm: TOIEC • 12.20pm-12.40pm: Business vocab • 12.40pm-1.20pm: Group Task check

  3. Reading and vocab check • Marine La Pen and the ongoing rise of the far right in Europe

  4. Business Critical Thinking Skills • We are now into our last two weeks together ... Boo hoo! <sad panda> • My opinion is that we ought to make best use of it in improving you • I am very glad to report that early this morning (2am!) Carol Springer from Georgia State University gave me permission to use the full Business Critical Thinking Skills syllabus – all eight stages from her 2004 and 2007 papers

  5. Business Critical Thinking Skills • This is the continuation of the Safe Night Out (SNO) group task you had in Week 7 • Here is what I am proposing: • You stay in the groups you were in Week 7 • We reduce how much readings and vocab you must do (we have two weeks for the European Union) • We move to doing a Group Task starting tomorrow (Tuesday) due for Thursday • When then have another Group Task starting Thursday due for Monday next week

  6. Business Critical Thinking Skills • And then next week, to put you in a very realistic Business environment: • Very small readings and vocab on the EU next week • And a SNO group task each night due for the following morning • This will cover most of the SNO syllabus stages • Each group task is the format as before: (i) Spreadsheet (ii) Presentation and (iii) Report

  7. Business Critical Thinking Skills • This wouldn’t affect your TOEIC prep and other English language studies • We normally have two hours of theory and two hours of ELT each day, so this only affects the theory part • I suppose it depends on how much you like “the theory of the European Union” ...

  8. Business Critical Thinking Skills • Why would this be a good idea? • Remember from surveys of Business that Presentation skills are highly lacking in typical Business school graduates • Remember that effectively organising oneself and one’s group is also typically highly lacking in graduates • And so are critical thinking skills in general ... • It will be a lot of work for both me and for you – I have to grade all these each night! • Do you think you can cope with this?

  9. Proposed Schedule • SNO2 due Thursday 7th April at 11.20am • SNO3 due Monday 11th April at 11.20am • SNO4 due Tuesday 12th April at 11.20am • SNO5 due Wednesday 13th April at 11.20am • SNO6 due Thursday 14th April at 11.20am

  10. SNO group task groups • Manon, Clemence, Maxime, Romain • Louis, Tanguy, Jeremy, Calvin • Camille, Leslie, Steven, Rachida • Sitra, Anne Cha, Julie, Alexandre, Hubert

  11. TOEIC practice • Got another TOEIC for you ...

  12. Business vocab • Will I ever get through the business vocab, who knows it’s very heavy in my bag ...

  13. Tonight’s reading • Explain Tonight’s reading on Greek cheese

  14. This Week’s Group Task • Explain this week’s Group Task
