Help with a business class!
 
Hello dear teachers! Hope u r having a nice day
I wonder if any of you know which topics could be appropiate to talk about after a business lunch. I �m about to start an upper intermediate course, the students know how to comunicate using formal register, telephone conversations, etc. they are interested in knowing "informal topics" without loosing the "business level"
Could u help me pls!?

I think you should get a book, Business Vocabulary in Use (Advanced) and Business Vocabulary in Use (Intermediate) - Cambridge University Press. Some of the topics are covered there. Also, try to find some books that offer communicative business activities...there are some published by Cambridge too. You may find them in your local book stores or order through Internet if it is possible.
Also try surfing the web  -  there are many websites that can help you and offer free activities. Just google and you will definitely find something. Good luck!

PS Also forgot to add that most of Business English Course books have a section "Career Skills", which provides communicative practice and useful language for business mettings, for example. Have a look at Intelligent Business by Longman Universty press.
