Lesson Overview: Organisation and Delegation in Spanish
This lesson focuses on key communication skills for organising projects and delegating tasks within a team setting, aimed at A2 level learners of Spanish. It covers how to express opinions, agreements, and disagreements naturally while managing office routines, planning meetings, and assigning responsibilities.
Key Topics Covered
- Scheduling Meetings: Practice giving instructions and expressing different opinions about meeting times and preparation, for example: "Creo que debemos empezar la reunión a las nueve." (I think we should start the meeting at nine.)
- Delegating Tasks: Learn useful phrases to assign tasks and discuss team workloads, such as "¿Puedes delegar esa tarea a Carlos?" (Can you delegate that task to Carlos?)
- Office Hierarchy and Responsibilities: Discuss roles and clarify responsibilities using expressions like "¿Quién es el encargado de este proyecto?" (Who is in charge of this project?) and "Es verdad que una buena organización mejora el trabajo." (It is true that good organization improves work.)
Language Highlights
The lesson emphasizes phrases for expressing agreement and disagreement politely and effectively, essential in professional contexts. Examples include:
- Creo que (I think that)
- No estoy seguro de que (I'm not sure that)
- Está claro que (It's clear that)
- No creo que sea buena idea (I don't think it's a good idea)
Additionally, the lesson reviews the use of the subjunctive mood in expressions of doubt, uncertainty, or wishes, which is an important grammar point in Spanish at this level.

- Coordinar: to coordinate

Instruction Language vs. Spanish
Since the instruction language is English and the target language is Spanish, this lesson includes translations and explanations in English to aid understanding. Spanish often uses the subjunctive to express uncertainty or disagreement, which differs from English and requires focused practice. Phrases such as No creo que cambies la fecha illustrate this difference, where the subjunctive is used after expressions of doubt.
The lesson also introduces practical expressions for professional communication, helping learners sound natural and confident when talking about projects, delegating work, or clarifying roles.
