DISCLAIMER: I personally do not have an opinion on the classification of English and that is not what this article is about, I am not a linguist. This article only researches the statistics behind English vocabulary as there is currently no such data available. The English language and its origins have been a topic for fierce debate among many linguists. English is classified as a (West) Germanic language, meaning that it is closely related to other Germanic languages such as Swedish, Dutch and German. Unlike other Germanic languages, English shares a large portion of their vocabulary with French and Latin, often attributed to the period of Norman French dominance in England after 1066. I personally don’t care much about these classifications, but I was very surprised to discover that in fact no-one recently has actually bothered to research the origins of English vocabulary, let alone the core.

1. Jobs of the future (A Business lesson) – Keep up with Bia
I have designed a Business Project for Pre-Intermediate / Intermediate / Upper-Intermediate and Advanced levels. All of them involve having ‘Presentations’ (in the end of November) and lessons throughout the term where students will have the opportunity to enrich their business lexical set on the topic chosen. The Intermediate level will be talking about ‘Jobs of the Future‘. (the Pre-Intermediate: ‘Developing their own brands’ / the upper-intermediate and advanced: ‘Recommending Public Projects to your city’). Not only will these projects empower students to the use of new business structures, but it will also help them to have more real-life tasks throughout the course. Objectives of the lesson By the end of this lesson, students will be better prepared to talk about Jobs of the future as well as jobs that are bound to disappear. Material PPT file: What will future jobs look like This lesson will be based on a previous one where ss have read the following article. Profile Age: 17 on Related
