Pitching a Business Idea is an ESL project that utilises Project-Based Learning (PBL). This 10-12 hour project begins with analysing the fictional Bridal Exchange business pitch, allowing students to explore business concepts and key business English vocabulary. Afterward, students will apply what they’ve learned to create and present their own business pitch.

Key Features:

  • Fictional Case Study: Students analyse a business pitch to explore business concepts and terminology.
  • Business English Skills: Students develop professional communication, pitching, and presentation skills in English.
  • Hands-On Project: Students work in pairs or in groups to create a business pitch based on their own ideas.

Perfect for students looking to improve their business English in a practical, project-based environment.

Encourages creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking in a business context.

A valuable opportunity to enhance language skills while developing entrepreneurial ideas.
