Create anti-job advertisement:

Procedure:  Group work. Learners have to write and “artistically“express comic anti - advert that is a text with opposite meaning as found in standard adverts. Learners focus on opposite skills and requirements such as: unable, irresponsible, slow, incapable, without any language skills, etc.

Learners have to make up the company’s name, logo, its history and write a text of job advert in a standard format. Later they present their company and advert to the class.

Find a job and get it:

Procedure: Individual work. Learners skim several adverts and find a job they like. Teacher should provide adverts corresponding to their study program. Every learner chooses one job, study details of its requirements and writes an application for the job. They pass it to their neighbor for checking.

Search for top jobs:

Procedure:  Project work. Over a certain period of time e.g. a month, learners skim several local newspapers, paying a special attention to job advertisements. They categorize positions advertised, languages and skills required and present their findings in the form of charts, diagrams etc. They prepare a presentation in which they present the results in spoken and written form and afterwards the teacher organizes a display of projects.
