Lingustic Exchanges in the Teaching of Initiation into Business and Entrepreneurial Culture in English as a Foreign Language

I have chosen the level of first to third grade of ESO (obligatory secondary education) and more specifically the third grade.  According to the levels of linguistic exchange specified I think that it will first be necessary to introduce concepts to the students.  I'm sure many of the terms will be familiar to them, however it is more than  probable that they will not be fully aware of the correct meaning of the terms, especially in the first grade, although they should be aware of most of them by third grade, but not to the level of the glossary prepared in the first task.

In terms of language the students are expected to be able to recognise the terminolgy specific to the subject and their school grade and use it correctly in written and oral activities and on a personal, academic, social or professional level.  However, this does not correspond with the A1 level of the foreign language used as the vehicle to teach the subject content. 

The advantage I can see with this subject asnd as I'm sure occurs in science based subjects, many of the terms are very similar, for example:
Economy - Economía
Salary - salario
Interest rate - tipo de interés

Of which there are many more examples, I'm sure we shall have the opportunity to experience more of these terms in following blogs.
