развитие умений чтения на уровне B2+ в работе с текстами бизнес-тематики в сфере электронной коммерции с использованием языковой догадки (deducing meaning from context) для определения значения незнакомых слов по ближайшему и более широкому контексту; развитие умений согласовывать гипотезы и аргументировать свою позицию в группе.
Цели и планируемые результаты были сформулированы на основе следующих дескрипторов CEFR: CEFR B2: Identifying cues and inferring - Can use a variety of strategies to achieve comprehension, including watching out for main points and checking comprehension by using contextual clues.
CEFR B2: Overall reading comprehension - Can read with a large degree of independence, adapting style and speed of reading to different texts and purposes, and using appropriate reference sources selectively. Has a broad active reading vocabulary, but may experience some difficulty with low-frequency idioms.
You are going to work with a business article about luxury brands entering the Chinese e-commerce market. Your task is to deduce the meaning of the selected unknown vocabulary items using contextual clues. In groups, analyze the local and wider context around each target word or expression, discuss possible meanings, justify your reasoning and agree on a final group definition.
Use the step-by-step strategy provided:
Identify the part of speech;
Analyze the immediate context;
Analyze the wider context;
Formulate a guess;
Check your guess against the clues in the text.
The teacher briefly introduces the topic (can show brand logos, screenshots from e-commerce websites): luxury brands, e-commerce, and partnerships with Chinese platforms. Students predict what challenges such brands might face online.
Students scan the article to find words in the text from the given list:
digitally savvy millennials
a pop-up store
dilute the exclusivity
consumer insights
a joint venture
price gaps
to sign up with
to gain access to
In groups of 3-4, students complete an Interactive Guessing Grid.
For each target expression, groups:
identify the part of speech;
highlight contextual clues;
propose 1-2 possible meanings;
justify their interpretation;
compare and negotiate meanings within the group.
Groups present their definitions.
The teacher facilitates a whole-class discussion:
Which contextual clues helped?
How did each group revise their hypotheses?
Where did the groups disagree and why?
The teacher provides dictionary definitions on slides / writes them on the blackboard, students compare them with the ones they deduced from the context.
The class briefly reflects on how context supported meaning deduction.
К концу выполнения задания обучающиеся смогут:
работать с текстом по теме электронной коммерции, выделяя ключевые смысловые опоры и определяя значение незнакомых слов бизнес-тематики по контексту, используя многоэтапный анализ, основанный на механизме языковой догадки;
согласовывать и обосновывать групповые решения, аргументируя выбор значения незнакомой лексической единицы.

3) You will participate in a collaborative brainstorming session to gather arguments for one part of your academic summary (expressing your own opinion). Your final task is to write one structured paragraph (approx. 150-200 words) that presents both supporting and challenging viewpoints on the given topic.
Instructions:
The text, “The Economics of Sanctions: Assessing Their Effectiveness in Shaping Foreign Policy” by Faizan Sajid and Khabeer Fatima, examines the use of economic sanctions as a central tool in international diplomacy. The article focuses on the ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of these measures in compelling target states to alter their foreign policy or behavior. The central theme is that while sanctions are designed to impose economic costs to force political change, their success is highly contingent and often debated. The authors are concerned with evaluating both the intended economic impacts and the broader, frequently unintended, consequences of sanction regimes.
The authors put forward several key arguments regarding the mechanics and outcomes of sanctions. The first key idea is that the primary goal of sanctions is to inflict significant economic harm on a target state, leading to internal pressure for political change. This economic impact can include GDP contraction, inflation, and reduced living standards. The author provides examples such as trade and financial restrictions to show how they disrupt a nation's economy and global market integration.
Furthermore, the text argues that the political effectiveness of sanctions is not guaranteed and depends heavily on specific factors. According to the authors, multilateral support, particularly through bodies like the UN Security Council, is crucial for maximizing impact by limiting the target's alternatives. Another important point is the resilience of the target economy; states can adapt by diversifying their economies or finding alternative trade partners, as seen in case studies of Iran and North Korea. The author points out that sustained political will from the sanctioning countries is also essential, as results are often long-term and come with their own economic and diplomatic costs.
However, the authors contrast this intended political and economic pressure with significant humanitarian and ethical drawbacks. While sanctions aim to pressure governing elites, they often disproportionately harm the civilian population. The author illustrates this by referencing the sanctions on Iraq in the 1990s, which led to severe shortages of medicine and medical equipment. Moreover, instead of weakening a regime, these humanitarian consequences can backfire by fueling anti-sanction sentiment and strengthening the targeted government’s domestic resolve. From an ethical point of view, the suffering of vulnerable populations raises serious moral questions about the use of comprehensive sanctions, while from a strategic point of view, it can undermine the sanctions' ultimate objectives.
