Personalise the language Concentrate on giving good examples

Get students to practise words and sentence

THEMSELVES. Emphasise that the sentences should about usage; other than for vocabulary exercises,
be true and personalised; sentences that are, for DON’T ask them, “Are there any words that you

wrap-up for this is to have students tell the class
something they found out about their partner.
Personalised questions using the target words,
phrases, or grammar patterns can be used in a
similar fashion.

Assign homework
Many of the sections, especially the test practice
sections, can be done at home and the answers
discussed in class. Writing homework should also
be given on a regular basis.

Correct mistakes
Students like to know when they are making
mistakes. Rather than just correcting verbally, write
the errors and corrections up on the board. This
works well for writing errors and speaking errors
that you overhear, but there are times such as
during a class discussion when you do not want to
break the flow. For this, a simple oral correction
– repeating what the student said with the added
correction – works best.

Try and keep ‘teacher talk’ to a minimum

Increase Student Speaking Time by doing pair work
and group work. Remember to change pairs so
that students aren’t always working with the same
partners.

Focus on usage rather than explanation

It’s very easy to get sidetracked with long
explanations about words and phrases, especially
when it comes to explaining the subtle differences
between similar words. You should

 INTRODUCTION UNIT

Starting the Class

If the class is new and the students don’t know
each other, you should (after getting their names
and writing them on the board) do an activity
so that they can get to know each other. Long
self-introductions are time-consuming and
predictable, so it’s usually best to do something
more interactive. Perhaps the easiest way is to get
them into pairs with the task of finding three things
they have in common, and one or two things they
don’t have in common. Have them change pairs
once or twice.

Before doing this activity, write some topics on the
board – family, interests, work, school, plans, travel Answers:

Tell the students to find specific things rather than 1. subway / underground

General note on the Listening Sections

In the test, the recordings are played twice. This
can be a bit dull in a good class – you’ll have
to decide whether to do so or not. Transcripts
are at the back of this Teacher’s Book. These can
be photocopied and given to students who then
underline the answers (and perhaps the
distractions). This gives students a good feel for
the structure and timing of the listening. As the
L1 sections are dialogues, they can be done as a
speaking exercise in pairs.

sentences, either:
(1) Put them in pairs to read (and ask follow- up
questions of) their (best) sentences to each other.
(2) Get each student to read one of the

Guessing the False Statements

Sometimes it’s difficult to come up with true

alternative is for students to write a mixture of true
and false statements. They read them in small
groups/the class, and the other students guess
(after all the statements have been read, not one
