Expressing Opinions about Artificial Intelligence in Business (with audio)
AI in business is a topic that gets people talking – everyone has an opinion on whether it helps or hurts the workplace. This worksheet gets students listening to what others think about chatbots, automation, and other AI tools they might have used themselves. Students hear different views about AI in business settings, like customer service and marketing, and then share if they agree or disagree based on their own experiences. The pictures help make sense of these tech concepts, while the agree/disagree format gets students practicing how to share and explain their opinions in English. Since most students have dealt with AI tools like chatbots or virtual assistants, they usually have plenty to say about whether these technologies make things better or worse.
Visual Vocabulary for Artificial Intelligence in Business
Artificial Intelligence has transformed from a futuristic concept to an integral part of modern business operations. This worksheet taps into students’ growing familiarity with AI tools in their daily lives – from chatbots helping them shop online to virtual assistants managing their schedules. By connecting these everyday experiences to business applications, students can build essential vocabulary about AI and technology while discussing real-world implementations they’ve likely encountered.
Artificial Intelligence in Business Dialogue
This dialogue listening exercise dives into AI in the office – from chatbots handling customer questions to virtual assistants helping with daily tasks. Students follow a conversation between two coworkers chatting about new AI systems at their company.
Critical Thinking Exercises for AI in Business
It’s important to think critically about how AI is affecting our lives: at home and at work. This worksheet helps students explore what that really means in today’s businesses. What AI tools are companies using? Are they actually helping? What problems do they cause? The exercises get students talking about their own experiences with things like chatbots and automated systems.
AI – Personalized Q and A
Personalized questions using target vocabulary – in this case, vocabulary commonly used to talk about AI – is an especially effective way of reinforcing vocabulary. Instead of just giving students a list of AI words to memorize, this worksheet asks them about their own experiences with things like robot vacuums, smart home devices, and apps that learn their preferences. The questions get students talking about AI using real examples from their lives, which helps them remember and use these tech terms naturally.
AI in Business – Word Formation
Word formation worksheets help students grasp essential vocabulary patterns while developing their business English skills. Through targeted practice with AI-related terminology, students learn to recognize and correctly use different forms of key business technology terms like “predict,” “digital,” and “secure.” This systematic approach to vocabulary building enables students to discuss artificial intelligence in professional contexts with greater accuracy and confidence. Each exercise builds upon the previous one, taking students from basic word form recognition to creating complex sentences about AI’s role in modern business operations.
