Understanding a meeting is one thing. Taking part in it is another.

In this workshop, you’ll practise the language you need to participate actively instead of waiting for someone to invite you to speak.

We’ll also work on reporting progress and results, explaining cause and effect, interrupting politely and asking for clarification when something isn’t clear.

You’ll practise how to:

• give a clear progress update

• describe changes and performance

• explain causes, reasons and results

• structure a short progress report

• give your opinion

• interrupt someone politely

• make a point without sounding rude

• deal with interruptions

• ask someone to clarify what they mean

• check that you have understood correctly
