Tips for improving handwriting
I often hear people say that they hate their handwriting, or that no one can read it. It is such an important part of communication. Even with email and the internet being a big part of written communication you cannot replace the benefit of a hand written note or message on a card. Not to mention that many workplace forms still need to be filled out manually and it is so important that the writing is clear.
I have used this in my workplace training sessions and learners have enjoyed it and noticed improvements within 10 days of practice. I wanted to get away from all the babyish resources that are just not appropriate to teach adults with.
I hope you enjoy this.
This resource contains various phone call situations written on role play cards that occur at work. It also contains a set of blank cards for learners to make up their own scenarios as well as message pad templates. Learners can role play situations and practice their telephone answering skills.
It is important that the person answering the call uses correct telephone etiquette and takes down the message accurately.
They can be used as part of or a whole lesson on telephone etiquette, which is an important customer service skill.
Instructions:
1. Use the Word document to make any changes to the scenarios. Go straight to 2 if no changes are required.
2. Print out as many copies of page 3 as you need. (Will depend on number of pairs).
3. Cut out with scissors or guillotine
4. Page 5 contains phone message pads. Use them to take messages.
To do the activity, all you need is two students, one with paper and pen for taking a message. Have your students sit back to back so they cannot use non-verbal cues to understand what their partner is saying. That way the role-play will be more like a real telephone conversation.
