The Secret Behind Japanese Productivity

In this lesson, students will talk about Japan and some facts about it, the concept of productivity and the importance of Kaizen philosophy. Students will also listen for gist and for detail. They will work on connected speech (intrusive "r") and some lexis (collocations with the verb "to improve"). By the end of the lesson, students will try to implement Kaizen philosophy in their own business context.

You will get the Student's worksheet and detailed Teacher's notes, full of suggestions to make the lesson more/less challenging and the answer key.
