This Business English group lesson uses real legal conflicts involving Uber and labor laws to develop students’ speaking, discussion, and professional vocabulary skills.
Students examine how courts and governments have regulated Uber in Europe and the UK, focusing on key issues such as worker classification, minimum wage, regulation, and fairness in competition. The lesson introduces essential legal and business vocabulary, then moves quickly into opinion-based discussion, debate, and role-play activities.
Rather than memorizing rules, students actively analyze arguments, express opinions, and defend positions, making this lesson ideal for learners who want to improve their fluency and confidence when discussing business and legal topics in English.
This lesson is especially suitable for:
• professionals
• university students
• learners interested in business, law, economics, or public policy
This lesson works especially well for professionals who want to improve discussion skills in real business contexts.
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
• discuss Uber’s legal challenges using clear and accurate English
• explain key concepts related to the gig economy and labor law
• use essential business and legal vocabulary (e.g. regulation, ruling, appeal, minimum wage)
• express and justify opinions about worker rights, regulation, and fair competition
• participate confidently in group discussions and debates
• argue a position persuasively in a role-play legal scenario
