The Power of Case Study method in Developing Academic Skills in Teaching Business English (Time to Play)

Liberal Arts in Russia. 2015. Vol. 4. No. 3. P. 234–242.
Brattseva E. F., Kovalev A. P.

This article is targeted at analyzing the advantages of using the case study method in the course of Business English at Scientific Research University – Higher School of Economics in Saint Petersburg. Cases offer a lot of opportunities for developing academic skills in reading, writing, listening and making presentations. Students get not only linguistic skills but also non-linguistic competences. Students are taught to work in teams, to analyse the data given in the task, to make decisions. Communicative and managerial skills are obtained as well. Special attention is paid to making team presentations.

It is vital to mention that analysis and case solving can be compared to a play where students are actors trying to come up with a solution of a problem using the information given. This approach stimulates students to be more creative, decisive, communicative and goal-oriented.  This method helps to achieve better results in developing academic skills while studying Business English.
