Simulation in designing Business writing activities
Simulation in designing Business writing activities

Summary/Abstract: It is not easy to create contexts in the classroom for business writing. However, teachingexperience has shown that class activity can be successfully organized by means of roleplayand simulation. That is why we have chosen to describe a simulation situation and todemonstrate that it is a very efficient method to create context and to motivate students toparticipate in such activities.In the article we present a three-stage simulation: the presentation of the task, the divisionof the class into groups, and stage three, the feedback stage, which in some ways is themost valuable stage of the simulation.Together with the students we tried to establish a number of assessing criteria, such as:aim, approach, motivation, task design, task adaptation. The students perceived thisactivity as ‘real’ meaning they see themselves doing such an activity in their futurecareer.
