Project work
Brief: your sports club wants to increase its revenue and fame. You and your team are in charge of merchandising and have decided to launch a (sports) product/ merchandise/accessory. You want me to help you finance your project. Please convince me with a good sales pitch, while you present your case. You will introduce your club and explain to me :
– what your product/merchandise/accessory is about
– how you intend to promote it and launch it (a little video you could post on social media would be nice)
– provide me with information about your market and competitors
– persuade me with a consistent, effective, clear SWOT analysis of your merchandise operation
This is fiction: it does not matter to me if your product/business is not too realistic – this is an English class… Focus on your accent (you know what I am like…)
Assessment:
1/ Please gather the requested information in a file you will send me for 30/10/25. Then present your project via a video and send it to me at the same time. The video and the associated file will be marked, worth 50% of your final grade
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS YEAR, DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY WORK SENT TO ME AFTER 30/10/25. THANK YOU 🙂
Training exercise: yes, you can improve your accent!
How about trying to repeat word for word what natives say? This will definitely help. Use the transcription tool to read as the person explains things all along… then it will be your turn to speak.
