Enterprise social media 

Speaking  

1

  This unit looks at ways in which IT facilitates 

interactions, including electronic 

communication. This opening activity asks 

students to discuss, in pairs, how they 

communicate electronically with family and 

friends, and about advantages of each form for 

different purposes.  

Vocabulary 

2

  In pairs, students match three online services 

and websites to their categories. The previous 

activity is likely to have brought up other 

examples; students can match these and any 

others they can think of to the same categories. 

 

Students’ examples of each may vary depending 

on where they are from. For example, Mixi 

(Japan) is a social networking service and 

WordPress (most ‘western’ countries and many 

others) is a blogging and web CMS service.
