BRAINSTORMING ABOUT ENTREPRENEUR SKILLS

1. BRAINSTORMING ABOUT ENTREPRENEUR SKILLS

This activity is useful to start the lesson 1.The goal is to find out what students know about the topic and introduce them vocabulary for the first time. In this case is expected that they use their mother tongue, Spanish, due to they don’t know any English word about entrepreneurship.

The teacher divides the class into two groups. Every group try to give skills connected with entrepreneurs, and a secretary in every group notes down the results and finally another student writes down all the results on the blackboard.
Once they have finished the teacher notes down the translation on the blackboard. In this way we have got that they have a first contact with the vocabulary of the subject.
The vocabulary could be:

Personal qualities

Iniciativa =Iniciative
Autonomía=Autonomy
Perseverancia=Perseverance Empatía=empathize
Confianza en uno mismo=self-confidence Asertividad=Assertiveness
Creatividad=creativity
Asunción de riesgo=Assumption of risk Liderazgo=Lidership
Flexibilidad=Flexibility
Capacidad de decision=ability to make decisions
Tenacidad=Tenacity
Autodisciplina=self-discipline
Sentido crítico= Critical Sense

Social and management skills
Adaptación al entorno= Adaptation to the enviroment
Comunicación=Communication
Trabajo en equipo= Team work
Cooperación=Cooperation

It could be a good idea that, previously to the students had given their ideas, the teacher shows them some images related to the topic in order to motivate them to generate some ideas. Some examples could be the photographs shown above.
