Bienvenue dans le module d'anglais des affaires pour la leçon d'aujourd'hui sur Collocations en anglais for discussing change management.
Le changement est une constante. Nowhere is this more true than in business. Just look at the list of Fortune 500 companies from 50 il y a des années. You might be surprised by how many of those well-known companies are now gone. So what’s the difference between a company that survives and one that dies? A lot of it is about how they manage change.
Dans cette leçon, we’ll listen to a meeting featuring three colleagues who are trying to figure out how to restructure their company. Pendant la discussion, you’ll hear lots of useful expressions that we call “collocations.” And what is a collocation? Bien, it’s just a group of words that go together naturally. You heard me use the expression “restructure a company.” That’s a collocation. The words go together as one expression.
Native speakers learn collocations naturally. They simply repeat expressions that they’ve heard hundreds of times. If English is your second language, cependant, it might not come so automatically. Mais, by studying collocations, you can improve your vocabulary and sound more fluent at the same time. Pendant que vous écoutez la conversation d'aujourd'hui, essayez de choisir certains de ces collocations anglais des affaires et nous en discuterons plus tard dans le compte rendu.
Dans la boîte de dialogue, we’ll hear Jake, Finlandais, and Lauren. The company they founded has grown, and now they need to carefully manage the transition to a larger company.
