This action-research aims to describe a business oral communication course prepared for college English majors in Taiwan and report the effectiveness of the nine teaching activities. The findings indicated that industry-specialist talks, job interviews with the industry, and case studies received unanimous approval whereas elevator speeches and simulated meetings were deemed least effective. This researcher concluded that an effective course is best achieved if co-created by the classroom instructor, the industry-specialists, and the students.
