Business Problems - Business English Worksheets
Here is an engaging business problems board game to help students practice identifying business problems, implementing solutions, and responding to business challenges. Players take turns rolling the dice and moving their counter along the board. When a player lands on a 'Problem' square, they pick up a corresponding card, read the business problem aloud, and identify the type of business problem shown in the middle of the game board. When a player lands on a 'Solution' square, they take a solution card, read it aloud, and say which business problem the solution helps fix and how they would implement it. When landing on a 'Challenge' square, the player picks up a challenge card, reads it aloud, and responds to the business scenario described by suggesting a suitable solution. For each response, the other students evaluate the answer or solution. If a player provides a correct answer or suitable solution, they stay on their square. If not, they move back to their previous square. The first player to reach the finish wins the game.
In this business problem-solving activity, students discuss common business issues and propose solutions. First, students brainstorm common business problems as a class. Then, in groups of four, students take turns selecting a card, reading the business problem scenario aloud, and discussing causes using guided language patterns. Groups suggest solutions with functional phrases like 'They should consider...' or 'The company could implement...' before selecting their best solution and recording their reasoning. After discussing all cards, each group shares one problem and their recommended solution with the class. As an extension, students either role-play a business meeting or write a summary email about a problem and solution.
In this market competition worksheet, students learn market competition vocabulary and practice using it by addressing and planning solutions to a business problem. First, students match market competition vocabulary to definitions. Students then complete sentences with the market competition words and phrases. Next, students read a text about a company facing a market competition problem and answer comprehension questions about it. After that, in groups, students read about a problem a local clothing boutique is facing, discuss possible solutions and come up with a plan to solve the issue. Students then prepare a short group presentation that outlines a plan to address the problem. Finally, groups present their plans to the class, who vote on which one they think is the most effective.

Next, students read about a business crisis and match each stage of the crisis to the 4R Framework. After that, in groups, students read a business crisis scenario, discuss the problem and complete a 4R Framework to help solve the issue. Finally, students discuss follow-up questions in their group.
