TEACHING BUSINESS COMMUNICATION: WORKSHEET FOR THE SHORT FILM SALT ‘N’ PEPPER

The Internet is a resource-rich environment and can be effectively employed in the classroom. Based on classroom experiences, this paper aims to provide a ready-made, downloadable worksheet to be used in the tutorial classes by the Business Communication teachers. Without stifling the teacher’s creativity, the worksheet helps to make the tutorial class more interesting by concentrating on one short film Salt ‘n’ Pepper. Easily available on the Youtube and in the national language Hindi with English Subtitles, the short film is additionally useful for learners from the vernacular medium. The short film not only provokes the youth to reflect on their lifestyles but can also test their understanding of the basic concepts of Business Communication in particular and the inequities created by globalization in general. The scope of the paper can be extended to further LSRW activities and develop the creative, critical, collaborative and communicative skills of the learners who can be asked to experiment with their cell phones by teaming up to create a short film on significant topics in their subjects.
