1. Greetings & Introduction

Objective:
Students will learn to greet and introduce themselves in both formal and casual settings. They will also practice speaking about an interesting person they admire, enhancing their fluency and engagement in conversations.

Trainer Guidelines:

Professional Setup:

• Ensure a presentable background and keep it blurred.
• Use the company logo as your profile picture.
• If possible, use a separate ID for taking classes to maintain professionalism.

Active Engagement:

• Maintain a high level of attentiveness.
• In one-on-one sessions, focus entirely on the student, providing personalized feedback.
• In one-on-many sessions, ensure equal speaking time for every student.
• Encourage students to ask each other questions instead of only responding to the teacher.
