Leading-in: Quotation: “There is nothing permanent except change.” Heraclitus of Ephesus. Greek philosopher Ask students whether they agree with Heraclitus and whether they think his statement represents a positive, negative or neutral view of the world. Starting up: This section gives students an opportunity to think about the theme of the unit and provides some speaking practice. Part A 1) Students work individually to choose the situations they find most stressful. 2) Working with the whole class, ask students for their responses and record them on the board as a class survey. Invite comments and encourage discussion. Part B 1) Point out that, unlike most stressful in Exercise A, most significant here doesn’t necessarily imply good or bad. 2) Start by telling the class the most significant change in your life and explain why it was so significant. 3) Invite individual students to do the same 4) Encourage class discussion of any particularly interesting, dramatic or amusing responses to the question. Part C Students decide on a situation individually, then discuss their choice and reasons for it with students who have chosen different answers. This could be in pairs or small groups. Introduction Step One Step Two 3
Reading: Managing change This section introduces the business leader Jack Welch and focuses on his thoughts about change. The exercises give practice in skimming for gist, summarizing and extracting information, and deal with vocabulary from the text. Part A Tell students they are going to read some of the things Jack Welch has said about change. To prepare for reading, write the words gradual, fundamental, and incremental on the board and ask students to explain what they mean in the context of change, perhaps b giving examples. Also check students are aware of the countable and uncountable meanings of bureaucracy. Part B Jack Welch’s attitude is that change is an opportunity. It can represent a challenge and it can also represent a danger, but it is essentially an opportunity. Part C 1 quotation 3 2 quotation 5 3 quotation 4 4 quotation 2 5 quotation 1 Part D Step Three DO Bring people into the change process. Start with reality. Get all the facts out. Give people the rationale for change. See change as an opportunity. Energize and invigorate others. Stimulate and relish change. Think in terms of fundamental change.

Exercises focus on listening for specific information, note-taking and vocabulary from the interview. Part A Students work in pairs to discuss the pre-listening question and make their list of reasons. Part 1 B Recording 11.1 1) Play the recording twice, with students taking notes. 2) students finalize their answers in pairs, then compare the reasons Jeremy Keeley gives with the ones they listed in Exercise A. 3) play the recording again if necessary. 4) Check the answers with the whole class. Uncertainty, fear, lack of trust, lack of control Part 2 C Recording 11.2 1) Ask students to look at the last three bullet points and invite suggestions about what kind of situation Jeremy Keeley is likely to talk about. 5
