This paper specifically details a classroom procedure for introducing the SWOT activity in a practical business-English class where the focus is on fostering critical thinking, communicative fluency (herein conceptualized as meaningful, contextual, skills-based interaction), and the understanding of a basic knowledge of business practices. The paper concludes by highlighting the need to incorporate these elements in order to better equip learners for the increasingly globalized contexts of business in the future.}, pages = {33--42}, title = {Developing Critical Thinking and Communicative Fluency in the Business-English Classroom with the SWOT Analysis}, year = {2020} }
