Introduction is Richmond’s new four-level general American English course for young adults. With an amazing design, lots of interesting topics and opportunities for personalization in all four levels, English will make your students progress faster and be able to express their own identity in English.

What do Young Adults Most Expect from an English Course? You might want to note down your own answers before you read on. Our research suggests that, above all, learners expect: ➤

to become fluent listeners and speakers as fast as possible;

➤

confidence building, quick results, and a strong sense of progress;

➤

contemporary, interesting content, i.e., real-life, adult relevance with lots of personalization;

➤

overt teaching of grammar and vocabulary, a systematic approach to pronunciation, plenty of skills practice, and useful study tips;

➤

an appropriate, adult teaching style combined with very strong self-study elements, including autonomous learning tools to speed up their learning;

➤

value—both for the time they invest and the money they spend.

You will find all of these in Welcome to English

and much more.

!

The Language-Friendly Course Over four levels, takes young adult and adult learners from Beginner (CEFR A1) to Intermediate (CEFR B1) levels through rich contexts, careful selection and presentation of useful new language, informative language tips, insights, step-by-step rules, practice and, above all, personalization to help students build their own identity in English—with lots of laughter throughout! Hence the title English . Students are guided to express their own ideas and personalities, and learn to be themselves in the new language.

Methodology English is in every sense a communicative course, teaching learners to speak as fast as they can and focusing on both fluency and accuracy. You will note, for example, the large number of speech bubbles and the Common Mistakes (with anticipated errors that should be avoided) presented in each lesson. Learners need to be given opportunities to express their own ideas and opinions in comprehensible English as often as possible. progressively adapts as the series evolves to

reflect the best learning practices at each of the learner’s advancing levels. Initially, English Starter relies on lots of short question and answer exchanges ed by lots of drilling in the Student’s Book, to be done in class. Then, at the Elementary, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate levels, such drills become more discretionary, moving into both the Workbook and the Teacher’s Book. The same goes for the lexis—where the initial simple matching vocabulary to pictures becomes more abstract and contextualized—and grammar, where spoon-feeding is reduced as learners’ confidence and foreign language learning experience grow. provides the tools to allow you, the teacher, to English incorporate your own pedagogical identity into the course, as well as to emphasize what you think will be more relevant for your learners.

Flexi-Lessons English has a unique flexi-lesson structure because one lesson is never enough to practice and consolidate all gives students more opportunities than of its content. most books to revisit, consolidate or extend what they first learned in the previous lessons. Rather than using a strict Present / Practice / Personalize lesson format, students are often exposed to grammar in one lesson, but only taught or drilled in “formal rules” in the next one. It is important to notice that grammar is sometimes presented in the Audio Script too, not just the lesson itself. Frequently, there is something extra related to the topic of the previous lesson in the next one. Why? Because learning is not linear, it is circular and repetitive. Constant and consistent recycling is essential for memorization, making learning much more likely. regularly builds bridges between lessons rather than packaging lessons in “artificially tidy” units just to fit a notional design. Besides, every lesson / institution / teacher is different, with its own identity. A lesson structure where there is little or no connection between lessons is unlikely to foster efficient or optimum learning—hence our flexi-lessons. An additional advantage is that students who missed a class can have the lesson explained to them by those who were there, providing a highly authentic information gap activity. Our flexi-lessons also have multiple entry points for you to choose from. You can begin with: ➤

the lesson title question, to see what students can come up with;

➤

the suggested warm-up activity in the Teacher’s Book;

➤

the Song line: hum, play, elicit it;

➤

Common Mistakes , to highlight what to avoid right from the start and to maximize opportunities to get things correct throughout the class;

➤

World of English , to provide a more interesting overview and / or insights into the lesson;

can be read between the lines, as you can see in the following example.

➤

the books-closed presentation (either of main lexis or grammar).

Tip For any listen and read activity, get students to shadow the text, i.e., mouthing and quietly saying the words to themselves, to connect with and “feel” the pronunciation.

Of course, you can go straight to the first exercise. Take a look at the colorful detailed presentation of the main features of English on p. 17-24.

Key Concepts English promotes the three friendlies: it is languagefriendly, learner-friendly and teacher-friendly.

Language-Friendly English is not just another international series. It is a language-friendly series, which embraces students’ existing language knowledge and background, to help them better understand how English works. For example, word forms and grammatical concepts are all familiar to young adult students, and helps them to see how much and how quickly they can speak by transferring these patterns into English, and also how to avoid all the obvious traps.

Learner-Friendly respects learners’ needs to be spoken to as adults, so students learn to speak English as fast and reasonably as possible. It also: ➤

s students, helping them avoid obvious errors in form, word order and pronunciation;

➤

uses cognates and familiar language concepts to enrich texts and add depth and authenticity to language exercises;

➤

motivates students, as they discover they can recognize a lot of English, even as beginners, which they already have “inside themselves”;

➤

offers a vast range of activities, resources and recycling in order to ensure students have enough practice to finally learn to speak English.

helps students to negotiate and build their own new identity in English.

Teacher-Friendly respects each teacher’s need to teach as they want to. Some wish to teach off the page with little preparation, others dip in and out, while others largely follow the Teacher’s Book. All these options have been built into from the start. The flexi-lesson structure helps teachers to individualize, personalize and vary classes, as well as focus on what is important for them. It also helps students in monolingual classes to stay in English. Without ever forcing the first language (L1) in class, shows what is common / different between students’ L1 and English, helping them to more quickly avoid the Common Mistakes that a learner from their L1 background would typically make. The Teacher’s Book has a teaching-friendly visual code, providing a straightforward “quick route” or a substantially longer one. Everything that is essential is clearly separated from all the optional extras, which

Advantaging Monolingual Classes Globally, most classes are monolingual, which was how was conceived—to facilitate monolingual classroom learning. The frequent lack of opportunity to speak English locally means teachers need to maximize fluency practice, getting students to use the language as much as possible in class. In monolingual classes, learners share both the same L1 and most aspects of a culture, which a teacher can exploit. They share similar advantages / difficulties with English too, which should be a unifying strength for anticipating problems and errors. Accelerating through what is easier for learners and spending more time on what is difficult sharpens classes to maximize the learning potential. Yet, rather than using these strengths to enable more focused, localized pedagogy, they are often treated as weaknesses. Most English courses avoid a lot of common yet tricky words, phrases, notions, and structures, simply because they are difficult to explain to students whose language background is not the same. To our minds, that impoverishes a student’s learning diet, reduces opportunities to expand vocabulary quickly and can actually slow down learning. Adults need a radically different approach from children, whose mother tongue is not yet established, and who learn like sponges, absorbing all the English you throw at them. Teens’ and adults’ minds are different: they cannot help but translate—mentally at least—and immediately resort to their mother tongue when they cannot find the words to express their thoughts in English. Rather than going against what is avoids this trap by gently embracing similar natural, items when appropriate, but without forcing active use of L1, leaving that option up to you. To paraphrase Penny Ur (2011), “teachers should choose procedures that lead to best learning by whichever students they’re teaching” (extracted from Vocabulary Activities, Cambridge University Press, 2011). We believe ’s formula can help native speakers of Spanish and Portuguese learn both more comfortably and more efficiently. embraces students’ linguistic strengths. It helps students to use what they know and helps you, the teacher, to foresee these automatic transfers and focus appropriately on them. With , students can easily enjoy what is easy, and, at the same time, the more complex issues can be made clearer for them.

Tip Especially with lower levels, prioritize, teach and, if possible, display on your classroom walls words / phrases students need to speak and interact in English from the start. This increases their expectation to actually do so.

The Right Level of Challenge treats adults with respect throughout, with the appropriate degree of challenge. Here are four examples:

1. A question syllabus Every lesson begins with a question as the title. This provides one of the task-based elements of . Students are set a challenge—in the form of a question—at the beginning of class, which they learn to accomplish by the end. This gives a constant sense of achievement crucial to building and keeping confidence. There are 60 questions in all, on audio and reviewed in the last exercise of each of the Review lessons. These questions can also form the basis for the oral test at the end of the course. Tell students that if they learn to ask and answer the 60 questions well—all of which they can see at a glance in the Language Map on p. 4-7—, they will have completed the level successfully. You can also use the question column in this map as the basis for a diagnostic test to determine where to place new students.

2. A balanced approach to grammar offers a rich grammar input, blending traditional and newer approaches, not just the usual elicitation, charts, and rules. It combines an innovative blend of: ➤

inductive grammar, with students discovering patterns and completing rules for themselves in and around the lesson-page grammar boxes;

4. Avoid common mistakes to speak better, more quickly You will quickly see that almost every lesson includes Common Mistakes . This is a flexible resource to help students and teachers anticipate and more quickly avoid, review and typical learner errors—without reference to or use of L1. It is a key resource in fostering accuracy of language form. The choice of errors is based on extensive research and our combined teaching experience worldwide, but, while obviously referring to typical L1 transfer problems, they never force you or your students to translate. On the contrary, unique to , the point is firmly made without any need for translation.

Course Structure and Components Nowadays, many English courses tend to be too long, or inflexible, meaning teachers have either to rush to get through them—denying students the practice they need to achieve an adequate degree of fluency—or start deleting sections, leaving students frustrated and sometimes even slightly cheated for not being allowed to use the material they paid for. was designed to be flexible, so you can tailor it to fit provides 80-100 class hours of teaching. your timetable.

And there is a wide variety of extra grammar practice in the Workbook, online and in the Tests, along with many suggestions for oral drills in the Teacher’s Book.

3. It has to be personal After providing the extensive oral and aural practice (and that students need, each phase of every lesson in many in the Workbook) ends with a MAKE IT PERSONAL activity. Imagine language learning without adequate personalization: it would be unpleasant as well as pointless, a bit like trying to learn theoretical Latin! This is how students take steps to build their English identity. They learn to say a little bit more about themselves each time—whether it is to ask and answer personal information, to give or share opinions (which in they do right from the start) or to role-play a situation, dealing with a series of questions or problems, thus growing both in confidence and knowledge. Successfully “making it personal” is what makes students believe that they can be, who they really are in English.

Motivating Features Classic song lines to “hook” language Throughout , significant use of music is made in exercises, cultural references, images, and, most obviously, the authentic song lines situated at the top right of each lesson. (Lessons 1-4 in the Student’s Book and lesson 5 in the Workbook, because lesson 5 in the Student’s Book already Skills, the other for in Action.) has two titles, one for Why music? Besides being possibly the best, most motivating and certainly most popular source of English listening practice, most students, even beginners, have picked up a lot of English words through songs. But often they do not realize that they know them or the exact meaning of what they are singing. Unique to , the song lines have a direct link to each lesson, whether to illustrate grammar, lexis or the theme, and are designed to provide an authentic hook to help students to the lesson, the language, or just enjoy the puzzle of trying to the song itself. A great warm-up for any lesson is to hum the melody or play the song and see if students can the words.

Total course hours (80-100)

Tip If students do not know / like or respond well to the songs from which we have taken the song lines, a great homework activity is to get them to research and suggest a better song line which they like and which links to the lexis, grammar or theme of any lesson. In the Teacher’s Book step-by-step lesson plan, there is background detail about the song, singer / band and date of release, plus a tip for getting the most out of each song line. There is also an instrumental extract of the songs, available in the Teacher’s Area of the Portal, for you to use when appropriate.

Tip As students progress and acquire more English, ask them: What do you associate the song with? See what they come up with, e.g., a moment, night, dance, movie. The possibilities for personalization and genuine fluency practice are immense. In lesson 5 in the Workbook, students are asked to look back at the five songs in each unit and find the link to the lesson as a way of reviewing the units in a fun way. The answer is in the Workbook answer key.

11/21/13 12:33 PM

For both pedagogical and copyright reasons, we only reproduced a small key section of the song, but that is the aim: to “hook” part of the lesson in a memorable and motivating way. Obviously, with your own classes you can: ➤

get them to research the songs, singers / bands, find the complete lyrics, translations, videos, etc.;

➤

use snatches of the songs as tool for Warm-up, review, listening for pleasure, an end of the lesson sing-along, etc.

Below you will find some forms to explore the Picture Dictionary. The same suggestions can be used when appropriate. ➤

Students cover the list of words. In pairs, they take turns pointing to the photos and asking and answering about all the objects. Then they can exchange roles.

➤

Students cover the short dialogs in in Action. They look at the photos and read MAKE IT PERSONAL to act out the five conversations in pairs.

➤

Students cover the phrases. In pairs, they point to the photos and ask and answer a question which depends on the topic of the unit.

We are sure you will enjoy this new resource!

Note We do not suggest you use these songs in full. Many are not actually appropriate for the level when you look at the complete lyrics, but the lines we have chosen are globally famous and should be easy to identify and be sung by at least some students.

Welcome to World of English We teachers are used to talking about language with higherlevel students, but much less so at an Elementary level. helps you to do so right from the start. World of English boxes—built into most lessons—talk to students respectfully, as insiders or “language experts,” which of course they all are in their mother tongues. Easily comprehensible, yet adult in tone, these boxes give students interesting tips and facts about English and how to learn it faster.

Teaches Cyber English Information technology is responsible for many new English words, most of which are now “international.” Cyber English boxes regularly highlight and teach these contemporary words and expressions. Research suggests this is one of the most motivating aspects of language learning for all age groups.

Vocabulary Vocabulary teaching is a particularly strong feature of because of the variety of input and review options.

1. A built-in Picture Dictionary The most popular way to teach / learn vocabulary is through some kind of “picture + key” approach. Whether flashcards, a picture story or any other resource, students can determine the meaning from the visual input, without the need to translate, and then cover and test themselves. In , every unit begins with a contextualized, lessonintegrated Picture Dictionary. Core vocabulary is presented through various combinations of this basic four-step approach: 1. Match words / phrases to pictures. 2. Guess their pronunciation (from the stress / students’ own linguistic experience and growing knowledge of English). 3. Listen to the words in context and check / repeat as necessary, immediately and / or whenever you want. Students have the words individually on the Portal audio, so they can listen to them in and out of context, whenever they wish. 4. Cover and test yourself / a partner, either immediately or any time later for review. All review lessons begin by sending students back to the Picture Dictionary elements in each unit to review and words. Virtually none of the images in are purely illustrative. Almost all of them are contextualized and reworked to present, review and test vocabulary in our unique “Picture Dictionary System.”

2. A cognate-friendly approach ’s lexical syllabus is based largely on frequency due to our comparative research into a variety of corpus studies. is not exclusively based on frequency. We However, have not limited our choices to what is common in native speakers’ speech, as we are not trying to convert learners into native speakers, but rather to help them to express themselves, their ideas and identities as fast as they can using all their existing linguistic resources. Thousands of words with cognate relationships are common to English and most Latin languages. Over 1,500 of these are very common. There are also thousands of recognizable cognate-rooted words. By systematically building them into , we feel we have created a unique opportunity for students to progress more quickly and more comfortably with English. Put simply, they can both understand and produce more language—and more interesting adult language—faster. Throughout their learning process, students make crosslinguistic connections, so we have chosen to systematically nurture this strategy throughout . It enhances both their language awareness and their English lexical knowledge, making learning more efficient. prides itself on helping students to expand their vocabulary quickly. Lexical presentations often separate what is “known / easy,” whether from “international” English, words already seen in the course, or near cognates, from “what is new / unfamiliar,” to help students focus better. Familiar words mainly require attention for pronunciation and spelling, whereas the unfamiliar ones require more effort to learn meaning. This provides a valuable additional “hook” into students’ memory. Significant stress or word formation patterns are regularly highlighted to enable “learning leaps.” This can be seen on 3, p. 15, where adjectives are learned. For example, students learn some adjective suffixes (-able, -efficient and -friendly) consciously works on developing the confidence students need to begin to guess how words might be pronounced or spelled in English. Guessing—being willing to take a shot, bringing in words that are already known and which might work well in English—is a key learning strategy often ignored. Embracing cognates also allows more interesting and more adult speaking and listening tasks, e.g., asking Any coincidences / similarities / pronunciation surprises? What do you have in common? Who is more assertive?, etc. The authors all feel that a key lesson they have learned from their many years of teaching is “to let students use their brains,” and not be restricted by only seeing oversimplified language.

12


11/21/13 12:33 PM

Tip We do not suggest you drill all these words nor try to make them all into active vocabulary. In most cases, cognates are there just as ive vocabulary, actually helping students to understand more. We see no point in hiding words from students when they can cope with them, and indeed they usually enjoy doing so. The words which become active differ greatly from group to group and will always be your choice, not ours. We are simply trying to give students access to more adult language more quickly.

Skills Speaking teaches spoken English and prioritizes oral fluency. Why? Because that is what monolingual classes in nonAnglophone countries need / want most. In order to learn both fast and well, students should be given every opportunity to try to express their ideas and opinions in comprehensible English. However, the onpage skill heads focus only on Listening, Reading, and Pronunciation. Why? Since every lesson is full of controlled oral practice and personalized speaking opportunities even within Grammar, Vocabulary and other skills sections, had we put heads for Speaking, we also would have ended up with double heads throughout the book! So, we have opted to use speech bubbles on every page to indicate where there is a Speaking task.

Listening Statistics show Listening is approximately 45% of any language (Speaking is 30%, Reading 16%, and Writing 9%). In other words, we spend almost half of the time we are in with any listening. It is the primary skill too—just think how babies learn—and the one that needs the most practice. has a large amount of recorded material, around 200 tracks in the Student’s Book, together with 100 more tracks in the Workbook, which are available on the Portal. The audio is a mix of both authentic (for example, many videos taken from YouTube) and scripted material. All of it is available for learners on the Portal. In class, you can pick and choose what to use and how many times students need to listen, knowing that they can listen to all of it as much as they like at home. There is at least one listening activity in every Workbook lesson, as we strongly believe in asg aural homework.

Reading provides students with substantial reading practice in of: ➤

amount: there is a lot to read in every lesson, from the authentic song lines and World of English boxes to the audio script at the back;

➤

complexity of text: through selective use of cognates to enrich texts. Compare, for example, the texts in Starter with those in traditional course books. We have used a very rich range of words, because knowing our target students’ language allows us to select a syllabus of words that are already familiar to them.

Most texts are from authentic sources, mainly the Internet, magazines, and newspapers. Some are “untouched,” while others are adapted to provide the best input for classroom language learning.

Writing Research suggests the following formula is what most teachers and students favor: writing is imposed where necessary, but is not overly forced in class because class time is precious. Rather, it is drip-fed throughout , when it is either essential or you consider it to be the best pedagogical option. There are plenty of optional supplementary writing exercises suggested lesson by lesson in the Teacher’s Book. The required writing syllabus is primarily covered by the six writing lessons, at the back of the Student’s Book, covering six different genres. Here students are given a clear written model, a variety of tasks to analyze it, specific writing tips and a structured model to draft and check it, then send on to a classmate before finally submitting it to you. The intention is to protect you, the busy teacher, from having to dedicate time to excessive marking of avoidable mistakes, as well as to help students to be more in control of their own writing.

Skills and

in Action

As you will immediately see, the fifth and final lesson in each unit is different from the others. It has a different background, is split in half and has two titles. Skills, gives half a lesson on specific The first part, reading or listening skills practice around an adapted authentic text. At lower levels, we prioritize a variety of reading skills, because it is generally difficult to get students to read, and also because our listening focus is so strong throughout the book. See the Language Map on p. 4-7 for a list of sub-skills. in The second half of this final lesson in each unit, Action, provides contextualized functional practice, usually dialog-lead and ending with a personalized roleplay, survey, or problem-solving situation. Communicative functions are everywhere in , but we felt it was necessary to have a specific functional outcome in an authentic context to close each unit. Teachers and students put such value on becoming communicative competent in familiar situations, with increasingly natural conversation strategies. See the Language Map on p. 4-7 for a list of functions.

Pronunciation A learning-friendly audio script Audio Script section is not just a script to be read and / or listened to with no clear focus. It is designed to provide real training with listening and pronunciation: after all, pronunciation is learned primarily through listening. It aims to help students to learn to listen better as the course progresses by focusing on features of pronunciation: ➤

noticing sounds, stress, aspects of connected speech, intonation, and spelling relationships; ➤ spoken language (e.g., noticing discourse signals such as fillers, pauses, repetition, self-correction, and interruptions); ➤ listening sub-skills, like inferring, predicting, identifying main points in discourse, understanding attitudinal meaning and all aspects of listening. Again, it is flexible and both teacher- and learner-friendly. All the tasks are “noticing” tasks, with different aspects to focus on in each text. The tasks are always “highlighted,” making them all free-standing to avoid the need for teacher intervention, unless you wish to spend time here. You can choose to do them in class, or students can do them on their own.

13


11/21/13 12:33 PM

It is a good idea for students to listen, read and notice the audio script tasks as extra preparation before a role-play. Rather than just listening (and reading) again and again, trying to memorize dialogs before role-playing them, these tasks give a clear focus for additional listening and pronunciation practice before a role-play. The Audio Script section brings relevant noticing tasks designed both to make students think and to motivate them towards pronunciation.

Tip An excellent homework activity is to ask students to do the noticing tasks and then field any questions in the next lesson. Word stress is shown in pink only the first time a word appears in either a word list or a reading text, but not in rubrics, nor when it appears again either in the same text, or later in the book. To include it every time would give no sense of syllabus or progress to students. The whole ethos of is to make students use their brains, not spoon-feed them! We want them to think “I’ve seen this already and I need to how to pronounce it.”

to sensitize students to the patterns of English and develop a “sense” for English. However, we have left this page largely optional, only sending students there from the Review lessons to learn the model words for each sound. You, the teacher, should do what you think works best with your students. While you have the option of teaching the sounds and even the does not force this, as it should symbols from this chart, depend on individual teaching preferences. The vowels chart on p. 154 of the Student’s Book is based on Sound Foundations: Learning and Teaching Pronunciation, by Adrian Underhill (Oxford: Macmillan Publishers Limited, 1994). This format helps students to understand how the sounds are produced in the mouth based on the opening of the jaw and the spreading of the lips. See the illustration below. lips spread

lips rounded closed jaw

Real help with all aspects of Pronunciation Pronunciation should be taught rigorously because of its basic role in communication. It allows us to understand and convey meaning, and good pronunciation helps you both to comprehend and to communicate better. However, this is an area where teachers often struggle, and course books have often failed to deal with it either systematically or in a “friendly” way. Pronunciation is at the heart of . New words are always introduced in context, so students at least hear, for example, nouns preceded by indefinite articles (a book, an apple), as they usually would outside a classroom, and are trained to pick them out in connected speech, rather than unnaturally, one at a time. At the same time, all the basic “listen and repeat” drills for new words, which so many students love and need, are available in the Workbook, for them to drill themselves outside class. ➤

Phonetic symbols are occasionally used in lexical presentations to highlight irregular sound and spelling patterns, when experience shows learners will probably otherwise get it wrong.

➤

A significant breakthrough is the Sounds and Usual Spellings table on p. 154-155. This gives two illustrated model words for each of the 40 sounds in U.S. English and access to the phonetic symbols.

Knowing all the potential sounds in a language sets a ceiling on students’ guesses and builds confidence. If students can learn those two words per sound, they should be able to have a reasonable guess at the pronunciation of words in a dictionary and begin to get comfortable with using phonetics. , learning to guess the pronunciation of new words is a key skill. The table also provides model words to illustrate the usual spelling patterns for each sound. Sensitizing students to sound-spelling combinations is a key part of learning how to read, write and pronounce with confidence. Initially, just provides example words, but as the course progresses, the rules are made explicit to students. In Starter and level 1, we model the usual spellings for each sound in order to begin to familiarize students with predictable spelling-pronunciation relationships. In levels 2 and 3, we also provide the exceptions, so this slowly builds into a complete sounds-spelling reference. All of this aims

open jaw

The organization of the consonants chart on p. 155 of the Student’s Book is based on the articulation points used for producing those sounds according to author / teacher Robin Walker. ➤

Both the vowels and consonants charts are laid out as a “map of the mouth,” according to where in the mouth the sounds are produced.

➤

A unique feature is the highlighting of sounds that are difficult for Spanish and Portuguese speakers. This builds confidence, as these students immediately see what is easy for them, but also motivates them to focus and facilitates their efforts to learn what is hard for them. Learning sounds which do not exist in their L1 largely involves breaking habits of a lifetime, finding new articulation points and different combinations of muscle movement, voicing, and breathing.

Note For students with other mother tongues, we suggest you spend some time on the chart, marking it up for them in the same way. A good resource for this is Swan, M. Learner English, OUP, 2001, or, more recently, Hancock, M. English Pronunciation in Use – Elementary, CUP, 2003. ➤

Standard American English is the chosen model for all listen-and-repeat activities, but students are exposed to a range of accents and types of English, both native and non-native. We are all aware of the need to teach “International English,” and is full of global accents for this reason.

➤

All new polysyllabic words are introduced in context, with the stress highlighted for students in pink. We have chosen the oral syllable according to the Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary. In cases where the oral stress is not shown there, we marked the real syllable, again according to

Merriam-Webster. Regularly marking stress on new words (in the book and on the board) means you progress from just teaching form and spelling to prioritizing teaching, modeling and recording spoken language. ➤

focuses right from the start on all aspects of connected speech, and there are exercises in all components on sentence stress, reductions, and intonation, particularly in the Audio Script, as mentioned previously.

Learner Autonomy Learner autonomy, sometimes also called learner independence, is the ability of a learner to take charge of his / her own learning. Autonomous learners have an active role in their learning processes, which means they make the most out of every learning opportunity, both in and out of class. There is never enough time for students to learn a language in class, even if they were to come and be fully attentive to every minute of every class. Nor is there ever time for them to cover every exercise fully. That means any good course has to be largely transparent to students both in and out of class and give them effective and efficient tools for autonomous study out of class. Learners need to be able both to self-monitor and to selfevaluate, or motivation becomes hard to maintain, and success less likely. is the most student-friendly course yet, as it is very linguistically accessible to students. Every page is written in concise, simple, cognate-friendly English to be easily understood by students who have missed class.

Facilitates Autonomous Learning Without adequate review, students are not going to learn much at all. Throughout the course, they can look forward and back to find interesting activities to practice on their own. The regular Review lessons after units 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 recycle key vocabulary and grammar, review and extend the Common Mistakes , take them back to re-read and listen again to selected texts, and finally revisit and answer all the questions from the lesson titles. also has a fully integrated Easy Autonomous Learning , mapped out as links to other sections, program when that option becomes the logical next step. Step-bystep lesson plans in the Teacher’s Book also make it clear which components can be used to further practice or review core lesson contents. The components of

are:

➤

the reference to the Grammar section after each Grammar box;

➤

the reference to the Workbook at the end of each lesson;

➤

carefully scheduled links to the Writing lessons;

➤

the Sounds and Spelling chart.

Plus all the optional noticing tasks in the Audio Script and all the content on the Portal. Students who regularly have to miss class should be trained to use these routes to catch up. For example, how to: ➤

use the Picture Dictionary pages to cover the words and test themselves;

➤

listen again to texts which they have read in class via the audio on the Portal;

➤

work on their own pronunciation using the pink indication for word stress in all new polysyllabic words;

➤

do the Audio Script tasks and use the Sounds and Spelling chart;

➤

use the Word List and Phrase Bank from the Portal for constant review, e.g., by recording, listening to and repeating the Phrase Bank on their phones, in their cars, etc.;

➤

ask and answer the title questions, plus follow-up questions;

➤

look at and avoid the Common Mistakes;

➤

investigate and sing the Song lines via the Internet, etc.;

➤

enjoy all the features of the Portal.

We suggest you spend some class time taking students through each of these features and regularly remind them how much they can do with on their own.

Learning Platform

Welcome to the English Learning Platform. This resource consists of a Portal, a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and the Test Studio—a test generator. This amazing blended learning tool has been developed in parallel with the series and combines the best of formal and informal learning to extend, review and test core lesson contents. The full range of resources is available to teachers and students who adopt any of the English levels. Learning Platform will be regularly updated with English new features and content, and we believe both students and teachers will enjoy and benefit from its content. To access the platform, go to <www.richmondenglishid.com> and use the access code that comes on the inside front cover of the Student’s Book.

Website Format Teacher’s Area: Grammar and Writing sections, answer keys, teaching tips, and Common European Framework (CEF) mapping documents. Teachers have access to the VLE to assign tasks and track students’ progress. You can also add your own activities, such as tests created in the Test Studio. The Test Studio is a test generator where you will be able to create unit tests, review tests, end-of-semester tests or tests for the whole book. You can choose to include reading, listening, grammar or vocabulary tasks in your tests. This tool allows you to create printable or interactive tests that can be ed to the VLE. You can also add them to your own Learning Management System (LMS). Café episodes and real Student’s Area: Watch all YouTube videos that are part of the core Student’s Book material. Listen to all audio material from the Student’s Book and Workbook. It is possible for students to useful lists of Common Mistakes , World of English , tips, and more. Launch the VLE with formal extra practice. In the Student’s Area, students can keep up with breaking news and access ready-made activities to practice comprehension of current world news.

Workbook In the Workbook, a single page corresponds to each Student’s Book lesson, designed to consolidate and reinforce all the main language. Exercises can be used in class, e.g., for fast finishers or extra practice of specific areas. It includes:

a final check-back activity to revisit the Song lines from each lesson in the Student’s Book unit, look for a link with the language / topic of the lesson itself as an additional fun way to review the unit and facilitate memorization. The answer key for these and all the other exercises is at the back of the Workbook, so you can use it entirely for autonomous study if you wish.

bring in some visual stills to the listening, e.g., in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, flashcards, etc.

Café The video is a fun potpourri of popular American sitcoms used to present, review, consolidate and extend the main language content and context of each unit. There are ten independent episodes, which were specially produced for English . The episodes focus on the context of the unit and target the key elements to give students further practice in real situations. We suggest you watch and do these lessons at the end of each unit, or whenever appropriate after that. : students can watch them on the Portal, so you can assign them all for homework if you are pressed for time. Besides the core unit videos, there are also extra units for each level: one for Starter and two for each of the other levels.

Gives Students Their Own Phrase Bank After dictionaries, phrase books are probably the world’s most popular language learning tool. In a four-page section provides a unique unitat the back of the Workbook, by-unit Phrase Bank of all the key phrases, expressions, and exchanges students are expected to learn. To provide context and reduce the need for translation, language is grouped by theme. Students are referred there after each unit to listen and review. But of course, they can come at any time—before, during or after any lesson—to look for phrases they wish to use. It is a great resource to and listen to when working out or in a car, for example, or to mentally translate until students feel they have acquired them.

Tip We have not forced students to translate, as that is your / their choice, not ours. Perhaps you can suggest they write any translations in pencil next to phrases they find difficult to . Then, another day, they should cover the phrase in English, look at the translations and try to the phrase. Once students can do it, they should erase the translation to feel a sense of progress. This encourages them to see translation as a temporary rather than a permanent tool.

Videos has an original blend of authentic and / or scripted video in every unit. We have always included the instruction “Listen / Watch” for any situations where a video player is not available. If this is your case, we suggest you try to

Digital Book for Teachers / IWB The Digital Book for Teachers is a separate media with all the pages of the Student’s Book. Teachers can use this resource to promote variety in their classes, so that students can see the images on the IWB instead of looking at the book. On the next pages you will find detailed information about all the features of English .

Who recorded it? Then, elicit sts’ opinions about the Song line: Is this a nice way of introducing yourself? Would you be impressed?

Song line: Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a man of wealth and taste. Song: “Sympathy for the Devil” Band: The Rolling Stones (UK) Year: 1973 The song was also recorded by American band Guns N’ Roses in 1994 for the soundtrack of the movie Interview with the Vampire.

1 Listening A Books open. Although sts are likely to look at the photos on the page, do not explore them now, as they will be covered later in the lesson (2B). Instead, have sts look at their sets of questions from the Warm-up activity. Then, point to the webpage on p. 4 and ask: Did you ask similar questions? Allow time for sts to read and compare questions briefly. Assign new pairs. Have sts in each pair use questions from the webpage to interview each other. Classcheck by having sts report their partners’ answers to the whole class. Ask: What do you have in common? Any coincidences?

Ask the whole class: When you meet someone new, what do you usually say about yourself? And what questions do you usually ask? Elicit a few questions from sts. Then, pair sts up and say: Think of five cool questions to get to know someone quickly. Write them down on a piece of paper. Have pairs work together to brainstorm five questions and write them down. Circulate among pairs and monitor their work.

B Point to A and ask the whole class: Are they all interesting questions? Which one(s) would you not ask on a first date? Have sts work in pairs to choose questions in A they wouldn’t ask on a first date. Classcheck.

Have pairs swap their sets of questions, or collect and distribute sts’ slips of paper at random. Ask sts to interview their partners with the swapped questions. Classcheck by having sts tell the class what they’ve learned about their partners.

Invite sts to look at the questions again. Ask: In your opinion, which is the coolest or best question to get to know somebody you’ve just met? Have sts read their selected questions aloud. For each question, ask the class: Would you ask this question to make a new friend? What about on a first date?

Personal answers.

And you get to talk to all the women? Yeah, all ten of them. In a restaurant, a bar or something. The women sit down and wait; the men circulate. Yeah, like human roulette. Only eight minutes per partner. That’s the fun of it. So, uh, what kind of women are you attracted to? Me? I’m, uh, not really looking for romance. Just, you know, I wanna, I wanna make new friends.

J You’ll find out soon enough. Why don’t we get started then… What do you want to talk about?

Stronger classes Have sts mark sentence stress in questions 1-3. Tell them to underline the two or three most important words in each question. It is useful to inform sts that the “most important” words are the ones which carry the meaning—the ones people would have to include in the shortest possible text message. Monitor and help sts as necessary. Then, have sts share their answers with the whole class when you play 1.3 to check word order. Write sts’ markings on the board and use them to conduct a choral repetition as follows. Clap on each stress to make the stresses more noticeable for sts. 1. Who do you live with? 2. What exactly are you looking for? 3. What do you want to talk about? Read the 5 box with sts and have them circle the word to correctly complete the rule for common English usage. Classcheck.

This couple broke up in 2002… Using phrasal verbs to talk about relationships. If you fall out with someone you love, you should… Telling a family love story. My father met my mother when she crashed into his car one day. Vocabulary: To be attracted to, to fall out, to fall for, to get along well, to get back together, to split up, to get to know (someone) better. Grammar: Phrasal verbs, review of the Past Simple. Before the lesson: If possible, arrange seats in a horseshoe (semicircle) shape or in a line.

Warm-up Tell sts that they are going to play a memory game. Have them sit in a semicircle or stand in a line and explain the rules of the game as follows: the first student in line says his / her name and a (true) piece of personal information, e.g., I’m Francisco and I’m an engineer. The next student has to repeat that information and add some info about himself / herself, e.g., He’s Francisco and he’s an engineer. I’m Joana and I live in Sao Paulo. The third student might say, He’s Francisco and he’s an engineer. She’s Joana and she lives in Sao Paulo. I’m Lucas and I’m single. Give prompts to guide the first sts and model the activity. Note that sts might tend to repeat a pattern, for example, saying their occupation again (e.g., I’m a doctor after the previous student says I’m an engineer). In order to avoid a simple substitution drill, ask sts to change topics each time or at least not to use the same type of information as the previous classmate. Monitor sts closely and correct their mistakes on the spot. Encourage classmates to help sts who have difficulty ing the sentences. Be the last “student” in line, so you memorize sts’ names and more info about them—sts like to see their teacher challenged!

together, hanging out, going to restaurants… We talked about everything and got to know each other really well. After a few months—maybe three or four—we decided to move in together—Adam lived in this cute little house near Union Square. Things were great for the first few weeks. But then… well… little things, you know. He didn’t clean the place and he used to invite his friends over every night—I was never alone anymore, and… we argued a lot and fell out over little things like whose turn it was to do the dishes and stuff... Eventually, after two months living together we, uh… we broke up. I actually made him leave his own house, I was so angry! But then I started to miss him and I called him and we talked about stuff… and so we got back together again. I think I… I think I’ve fallen for him again! How weird is that? But who knows what our future will bring! 1. be attracted to (someone) 2. get along (well) 3. get to know someone better 4. fall out (with someone) 5. break up 6. get (back) together

3 Vocabulary: Relationships Point to pictures 1-6 and allow sts some seconds to understand the story. Then ask: Is this a typical love story? Is it familiar to anyone? Have sts work in pairs and match pictures 1-6 to the correct phrases.

Tip Ask sts to turn to AS 1.5 on p. 156 and do the AS task with them. Play 1.5 again and have sts notice connected speech. After that, ask sts to chorally repeat sentences with underlined connected sounds, e.g., I first met Adam two years ago or We went out together a few times.

Ask sts to listen to the woman in the pictures telling the story. Play 1.5 and ask sts to point to the picture being talked about. Pause the track after each scene of the story to check sts’ answers. Classcheck by writing the answers on the board.

Anyway, I was attracted to him immediately, uh-huh, he has this really beautiful smile and… well, we went out together a few times and, you know, we got along really well—we both love dancing, so that really helped. I thought he was funny and charming and interesting… So different from my last boyfriend! And, yeah, anyway, we started to spend more time

Have sts work with different partners. Elicit the Past Simple forms of all the verbs in A. Then, have pairs work together to retell the story from the pictures in A. Monitor closely for accuracy. At the end, have six sts collaboratively retell the story to the whole class. Have sts work in pairs to answer the question “Do you know anyone who broke up and then got back together?”. Classcheck.

Some people say they fell out because she was cheating on him with her choreographer. 2 They met in 1989, when she moved to the USA. They started hanging out, moved in together and got married a year later. They adopted two children, but as time went by, they began to drift apart and eventually went their separate ways. They got divorced in 2001. 3 This couple fell for each other in 1998, got married in July 2000 and broke up five years later. Both went on to date Hollywood stars.

I think be realistic that you, our expectations sometimes are so high… But most of marriage is lived in between the ups and the downs… And that it’s hard work. And not all the time, but it’s hard work. Gene Uh, I think one of the pieces of advice that my dad gave me is “Gene, always communicate. Always talk, talk things out.” And I really believe that communication is so essential… And that, uh, you need to work out many different areas before you get married. Uh, I think you need to talk about money matters. I think you need to talk about child rearing. I think religion is important. I think sex takes care of itself... Pretty much… At least initially. But I really do think there are some topics or some areas that need to be hashed out, otherwise it’s conflict. Karl You gotta learn to, uh, give more than you take, or you’ll never make it and, uh, that, that’s the bottom line. Bonnie And you need, you need to, you know, grow together, uh, in what, in what you do… Try new things, you know. Go out and start skiing if you haven’t done it, do it as a couple. Do things together, you know, or as a family if you have a family. I think those are important things too, you know. Don’t you have your own hobbies and your husband or spouse have their own hobbies. That’s not a real good way… Bill Every time, if you have a disagreement or a problem, you correct it before you go to bed. And, uh, then you never wake up and, uh, with a carry-over. And, uh, that has—to me—always been good advice. I’m not sure that Kay and I have always followed that, but, uh, you know, most of the time we have. Kay I’d have to say those who play together stay together, instead of going your own separate ways and doing your own things.

Song line: Well, let me tell you a story about a boy and a girl. He fell in love with his best friend.

1.3

How many Facebook friends do you have? Lesson Aims: Sts review and practice Present tenses through the contexts of watching and listening to a video of a book author’s lecture on friendship, and talking about their own friendships, Facebook friends, acquaintances, and so on.

Lesson 1.3

Function Language Talking and reading about different types of friends. Very close friends: the people you can really rely on. Watching / Listening to a book author talk about friendship. So, if you look at the pattern of your relationships… Listening to a woman talk about her Facebook friends. Oops. I hardly know this one. Talking about a friend, an acquaintance, and a very close friend. We’ve known each other since school. Vocabulary: Acquaintance, to google (something), to e-mail (someone), to friend (someone). Grammar: Review of Present tenses. Before the lesson: Gather photos of celebrity friends from magazines.

Warm-up If the technology is available, show sts the website <www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/pictures/34342/17/ famous-hollywood-friends.html>, or other online photos of celebrity friends, to gauge sts’ knowledge of celebrities’ friendships. Alternatively, show sts similar photos from magazines (see Before the lesson). As you show sts the photos, ask: Did you know they were friends? Do you think they are close friends? Do you think celebrities have a lot of friends?

5 Reading A Books open. Point to the book cover and ask the whole class: How would you answer this question? Tell each other in pairs. Classcheck by having sts report their partners’ answers. Personal answers.

B

Ask the class: Are all your friends close friends? Good friends? Point to the four definitions and say: Here are four different definitions of friends. Read them quickly and then answer this question: What are acquaintances, friends, good friends, and very close friends? Allow sts five minutes to read the four definitions and answer the question. Tell them not to worry about new words just yet.

Focus on Common Mistakes . Tell sts to observe the correct use of the preposition on in the sentence I can only count with on my family.

Tip Split the class into groups of four and assign each student in the group a letter (A, B, C, or D), so that each group member will read a different definition. Explain that st A should read the text on acquaintances, st B should read about friends, st C should read about good friends, and st D should read about very close friends. Emphasize that sts should first read their assigned text silently. Then, have sts tell their group what they’ve read in their texts. Encourage sts not to read from the definitions as they share ideas, but to summarize the main concepts in their own words. Stronger classes Sts who finish reading before their classmates can use the Internet on their smartphones, tablets, or class computer to look up the words traits and rely on an online English dictionary. If technology is not available, hand out

physical dictionaries. After you classcheck the reading comprehension, ask these sts to share their vocabulary findings with the whole class. Classcheck sts’ overall reading comprehension of the four definitions. Ask sts: Do you agree with all four definitions? Do you have friends that fit all these categories? Have sts work in pairs and guess the maximum number for each type of friend. Do not play 1.8 yet. Tell sts they are going to check their answers in C.

1.8 How many friends does one person need? Acquaintances: These are the people whose names, faces and traits you can memorize and when necessary. According to Dr. Dunbar, 150 is the maximum number of such connections your brain can manage. Friends: These are the people who you’re usually in with, though not necessarily on a weekly or monthly basis. Maximum number: 50. Good friends: These are friends who you may hang out with and probably do get along with, but if you have a serious problem, they’re not necessarily people that you can count on. Maximum number: 15. Very close friends: The people you can really rely on or borrow money from. Dunbar calls them the inner core. Marlene Dietrich used to call them the friends you can call at four o’clock in the morning. They’re like family in a way. Maximum number: 5.

1.3 1.9 Notice the schwa Ǩ, the sentence stress and the connections. … people’s imaginations in this particular context. Uh, in the last year or two the way it’s, it’s sort of blossomed and exploded and the fact that it’s become a kind of competition to see how many friends, uh, you can have on your Facebook. So it’s not uncommon for some people to claim three… five hundred friends, even a thousand, actually. And the question is: Why is that the case? The simple answer is, it’s Dunbar’s number. And I thank whoever created that acronym, I have no idea know who did it, it just appeared out of the blue on the Internet, a wonderful thing the Internet. And it, it sort of, uh, took off, uh, but there we are. And that number is around 150. There’s a lot of variation around that, uh, to be, to be fair. So, if you look at the pattern of your relationships, in this 150 as it were, what you’ll find is it actually consists of a series of layers a bit like the ripples on a pond. If you drop a pebble in a pond… if... the pebble… If you can imagine the layers, the ripples going out are the layers of your relationships. And as you go out you include more people, but you’re including relationships at a lower quality. And that ties up very closely with the amount of time you spend with those people. So the amount of time you spend with this inner core of about 5, and that’s another curious feature of it, is, the layers scale in a very, very consistent pattern. So they, they occur at 5, 15, 50, 150. Then we know out beyond that, there’s a 500, there’s a 1500.

How long have you been studying here? Lesson Aims: Sts study and use the Present Perfect Continuous to talk about recent habits and changes in their lives. Language I started by cutting out garbage, taxis… I couldn’t possibly survive without my car. I’ve been walking to work at least twice a week. How long have you been reading this book? How long have you been going there? Vocabulary: Expressions: “The list goes on and on,” “…and stuff like that,” “…and so on.” Grammar: Present Perfect Continuous. Before the lesson: If possible, arrange seats in a horseshoe / semicircle shape or in a line.

Lesson 2.2

Function Watching / Listening to No Impact Man. Talking about going green or “no impact” for a year. Reading a blog post about one man’s green lifestyle. Interviewing a friend about recent habits or changes.

Warm-up Tell sts to predict what a “no impact man” means. As sts say what comes to their minds, write their ideas on the board.

C Pair sts up and have them ask and answer the questions. Encourage them to justify and explain their opinions. Classcheck by having sts report their partners’ answers. Personal answer.

3 Listening A

Point to the poster and have sts read the DVD’s title. Ask the whole class: Is it a comedy or a documentary? Why is it called “No Impact Man”? Allow sts some time to guess and interpret the title. Then say: Let’s watch the video and 2.4. Classcheck. check our guesses. Play

2.4 Notice the silent letters. It started out as an experiment. I wanted to see if I could leave no impact on the environment for an entire year, and I asked myself, “Was it possible I could become a happier person by reducing my impact on the environment?” And the answer I found out is a resounding “yes.” So I started by cutting out garbage, taxis, throw-away coffee cups… I eliminated tomatoes in the middle of January, A/C in the dead of August, bottled water from , and new clothing from who knows where. I saved money, lost weight, gained energy, improved my health, spent more quality time with my family and friends, renewed my relationship with my wife and discovered an overall sense of freedom. I learned that, yes, sometimes less is more. It’s a documentary about a man who performed an experiment: to have no impact on the environment for a year.

B

Read sentence 1 with the group. Have sts read

World of English and elicit or provide more examples, such as “I have no money” or “There are no eggs in the fridge.” Ask sts to read the rest of the sentences and work in pairs to decide whether statements 1-5 are true (T) or false (F). 2.4. Classcheck. Then, replay

Point to men A, B, and C, just above the top right section of the blog, and ask the class: How green is Al’s lifestyle now? Say: Listen and read to find out. Play 2.5. Classcheck.

2.5 This morning I ran into an old friend on my way to work. He could hardly recognize me. “You look so… different,” he said. “Have you been working out or something?” Well, yes, I’ve been working out like crazy every day, but I guess it’s the “something” that has made the difference. You see, I’ve been trying to copy the idea I saw in a film called No Impact Man. It’s about a guy called Colin Beaven, who tries to have zero impact on the environment for a year. So instead of simply switching to energy-efficient light bulbs, buying eco-friendly cleaning products, avoiding disposable cups and stuff like that, he takes the whole thing to the next level: no TV, no elevators, no public transportation, no household waste… The list goes on and on. No Impact Man has had such an impact (!) on me that Clara and I are trying to green up our lifestyles too. For example, I’ve been walking to work at least twice a week, taking the stairs, using recycled paper, and so on. At home, we’re beginning to recycle, trying to unplug all appliances, installing water-efficient faucets—you name it. And you know what? Clara and I have been feeling great lately. But I think that’s really as far as I can go. I’d never be able to give up TV, sell my precious car (which I’ve only been driving since Monday!), or buy used clothes. So my question is: Can I make a difference, or am I wasting my time?

2.3 Argument B This is like saying that forest fires have happened naturally in the past, so any recent forest fires can’t be caused by humans. It just doesn’t make sense. Argument C Climate researchers have been publishing papers for years saying that global warming is happening right now. Around 97% of researchers agree on this. Argument D The Earth has been getting warmer at a steady rate since 1998, and there are no signs of it slowing any time soon. In fact, globally, the hottest 12-month period ever recorded was from June 2009 to May 2010. Argument E Since the mid 1970s, global temperatures have been increasing at around 0.2 degrees Celsius per decade. However, weather imposes its own dramatic ups and downs over long-term periods. This means we expect to see record cold temperatures even during global warming. Argument F A large number of ancient mass extinction events have been strongly linked to global climate change. Because the world’s climate has been changing so rapidly, the way species typically adapt (for example, migration) is, in most cases, simply not possible. 1. c

Tip Drill animals’ names from the chart and have sts play a quick memory game. Pairs of sts should cover the chart and test each other, e.g., st A: “What’s this?”, st B: “That’s a woodpecker.” Focus on the title above the photos (“Species we may never see again”). Ask: Are all of these animals threatened species? Draw sts’ attention to the numbers on each photo. Ask: What do these numbers represent? Point to the third column of the chart and read it with sts (“Number left in the wild”). Explain that the phrase “in the wild” means in the animals’ natural habitat, rather than in zoos. Read World of English with the whole class. Then say: Listen to a report and complete the chart with the correct numbers. (Point to the chart and the numbers on the photos.) Play 2.16. Paircheck. Replay the track if necessary. Classcheck by writing the answers on the board.

Skills: Expressing Numerical Information A

Books open. Explore the photos with sts and ask which animals they can name. Refer sts to the names in the chart to help them and ask questions such as: Where in the world can we see giant pandas?

2.16 Our planet has some amazing species, but too many of them face extinction. Here are some of the rarest animals on Earth. Perhaps the most famous rare animal is the giant panda. In 2004, scientists found fewer than 2,000 pandas in the bamboo forests of China, and there are only 300 pandas in our zoos too. Imagine the world without pandas! Next, one of the rarest marine animals. The Hawaiian monk seal only lives in the ocean around the beautiful islands of Hawaii, and fewer than 1,000 of these magnificent creatures remain. OK, next up is the adorable golden lion tamarin from the Atlantic forests of Brazil. There are only around 1,500 of them left in the wild, although at least this number is now up from just 200 in the 1970s. Way to go Brazil, keep up the great work! It’s not such good news for the mountain gorilla. Its habitat in the mountains is also a war zone, and many gorillas are killed. In fact, these gorillas were only discovered about 120 years ago, and now there are only about 800 left in the African mountains. Another ocean mammal in extreme danger is the northern right whale. Because of hunting, fewer than 500 of these extraordinary creatures are still alive. A similar sad story is the Javanese rhino. People have been killing this beautiful animal to make medicine for hundreds

2.5 of years—and now there are approximately 50 left. And the worst story of all. Due to loss of habitat, scientists believe that there are very few ivory-billed woodpeckers in the world, maybe even none. How awful is that? Come on people! Wake up! Let’s finally learn from this and try to save what is left of our rich and varied wildlife—before it’s too late. It’s now or never…

2,000 1,000 1,500 800 500 50 possibly none

Tip Drill and write the model question on the board: How many giant pandas are left in the wild? Elicit the answer, “Fewer than 2,000.” Say the prompt: Mountain gorillas. Elicit the question, “How many mountain gorillas are left in the wild?”, and the answer, “About 800.” Pair sts up and have them take turns asking and answering questions about the number of animals left in the wild, using the figures from the chart. Monitor their questions and answers closely and correct any mistakes on the spot. At the end, have all sts say the numbers chorally.

Tell sts that they are going to listen to / watch the rest of the video. Ask: Which are the two best ways to change 2.18. people’s behavior? Then, have sts read 1-5. Play Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask: Do you agree? Why or why not?

2.18 Notice I, Y and E. <www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wx4FONMlEk&hd=1> Are we failing to communicate? Have we forgotten what first inspired our love of nature? All the evidence shows that the single most important factor behind taking action is our childhood experience. The wellspring of our commitment comes from the emotional high we reach when in with nature. But how can this wonder be harnessed to change our behavior? Showing the loss of animals in faraway places may pull a few heartstrings—even attract donations. But does it really change our behavior? What if we were able to communicate to people the wonder of nature that surrounds them and promote education that leads to awareness of threatened species and the habitats they live in? In all parts of the world, we’re beginning to see that public awareness does lead to change, where people can see the benefits from making their own contribution. It’s not the depressing s of the wildlife we are losing that moves us. It’s awe and wonder, enhanced by understanding, that can inspire us to take action. It’s love, not loss. 2, 5

Was last weekend as fun as you hoped? Lesson Aims: Sts learn and practice the Past Perfect via the contexts of visiting a place for the first time, experiencing different social conventions, and tweeting. Language It’s usual for people to shake hands and bow slightly. He hadn’t told me about bowing! By the time my stay was over, I’d learned my way around the city. Last year, I went to this amazing place, you know? I’d never been there before and… Vocabulary: Shake hands, bow slightly, push your way through, pour, blow on your soup. Grammar: Past Perfect; by + past expression + Past Perfect. Before the lesson: Prepare sets of cards with vocabulary from lesson 3.1, using the words and phrases below: square smog find your / my way around upscale harbor at the heart of (the city) slums landmark tourist spots skyline It’s the place to go.

Lesson 3.2

Function Taking a quiz and watching a video about a different culture. Reading tweets about a visit to Hong Kong. Reading about an exchange student in London. Delivering a one-minute monologue about a place you visited.

Warm-up Divide the class into groups of three. Give each group a set of premade cards (see Before the lesson). Have sts take turns selecting a card and explaining its meaning in their own words for the rest of the group to guess. Instruct sts to begin by telling the group whether their card has a word or an expression. Monitor closely and offer help when necessary. At the end, ask: Which word or phrase was the most difficult to guess? Which was the hardest to describe?

2 Reading A

Explore photos a-h and elicit as many details from them as sts can supply. Ask: What are people doing in photo a? What about photo c? Use the pictures and descriptions to pre-teach vocabulary sts will see in the quiz: hug, pour, blow on your soup, leave a tip, chopsticks, bow, and shake hands. Have sts match photos a-h to the underlined words in the quiz. Classcheck. Then ask: How much do you know about Hong Kong? Are customs there very different from here? What about the people? Read the quiz title with the whole class and ask: Has anyone ever been to Hong Kong?

Elicit the correct option for sentence 1, but don’t give sts the answer just yet. Have sts work in pairs to guess what the customs in Hong Kong are and to circle the best 3.4 so sts can check their options for 1-9. Then, play answers. Classcheck.

3.4 Notice the short and long pauses. While people in Hong Kong are very familiar with western culture, there are still unique social etiquettes that tourists should observe. When greeting someone in Hong Kong, a handshake is common, but do it with a slight bow. Kissing on the cheek and hugging is not practiced. It is OK to gently push your way through the crowd as Hong Kong is so densely packed; in fact, if someone says they’re sorry while navigating the crowd, it’s considered impolite. When giving gifts, always give them with two hands. Do not give clocks as the Chinese associate clocks with death. And gifts are never opened in

front of the person that gave them. When eating with others, it’s important to be aware of important table etiquette. As a courtesy, fill the tea cups of others before pouring your own cup, even if their cups are not empty. When you need a refill, keep the lid of the teapot half open, and the waiter will get the hint. Blowing on the soup is considered OK to cool down the soup. After you’re done, don’t leave your chopsticks standing straight up, as this signifies death. Leave them flat on the table. Tipping is customary—a service tip of 10% is expected—and tip the server directly, as leaving a tip on the table is considered impolite. Now you know a little bit more about Hong Kong. This is Rosanna Wilcox, informing you about Hong Kong.

3.4 E So what happened in the end? S Well, we abandoned the taxi, ran like crazy and, by the time we finally got to the stadium, they’d been playing for well over an hour. Thank God the security guards let us in. E So you only caught—what—the last ten minutes of the show? S Only the last six songs! But that was the best half hour of my life. I swear. Juan had been trying to find a job as an architect for months and he was going to his third job interview that week. He was particularly optimistic about that interview, but on the “big day” there was a massive traffic jam—a bus had gone through a red light and hit three cars. Juan arrived late and missed the interview. Sandra had bought two tickets to see U2 and had been waiting anxiously for two months to see them live. On the day of the concert, she and her friend left work two hours earlier and got a taxi to the stadium. They couldn’t make it on time, though. It had been raining nonstop and the traffic jam was huge. They got out of the taxi and ran to the show, but when they arrived, U2 had already been playing for over an hour. She only saw the last six songs of the gig.

I And you’ve been thinking of dropping out. Why’s that? Z Well, basically, journalism’s not my thing. I should’ve chosen another major. I Right, but… how can you be so sure that you’ve picked the wrong career? Z Well, for starters, I can’t stand writing and… I Oh… Z Yep. My writing really sucks. I can barely put two words together. I I hear you, but… um… Did you enjoy writing at all when you were in high school? I mean, there’s got to be a reason why you picked journalism. Z Well, I didn’t want to lose touch with Kylie, Bonnie, Maria, and Tom. I Excuse me? Z My best friends. They all wanted to study journalism, so I… hmmm… I thought I’d learn how to like it eventually. Guess I was wrong... Look, I know it was a stupid decision and I should’ve thought about it more carefully, but what’s done is done. So my question to you now is: Is it too late to switch majors? I Hmm. Yes and no. You see… Conversation 3 I = interviewer G = George I … so what is it that you do exactly, George? G I’m a… Roger, get out of here. I told you to wait outside, didn’t I? Just go!

Read Common Mistakes with the whole class. Have sts look at sentence 1 and refer them to activity 8D. Then, ask sts to fill in the blanks in sentences 2-6. Paircheck. Play 4.11 to classcheck.

Tip For further practice, ask the group to go to Grammar on p. 123.

In each group, teams 1 and 2 should play against each other and alternate turns, moving across the board game and making Third Conditional sentence endings. The team to finish first is the winner. Monitor groups closely and encourage peer correction. At the end, elicit some of the sentence endings sts from the game.

2. ’d / have 3. cleaned up / lost

Personal answers.

4. wouldn’t / done 5. would have / had asked 6. hadn’t spent / wouldn’t have overslept

C Ask sts to cover the sentences in B. Have them turn to the photos in 8B on p. 42 and, in pairs, try to say the sentences from memory. Classcheck. See answer key in

Tell sts that team 1 will start the game. Ask them to toss their coin and move one (head) or two (tails) spaces. When team 1 stops at a space, each student in the pair must complete the sentence on it; that is, the team must come up with two different endings for the prompt. Remind sts to use Third Conditional sentences only. Explain that team 2 will check if the sentences are right or wrong. Then, it will be team 2’s turn to play. If one (or both) ending for the sentence is not correct, sts have to wait one extra turn for the other team to play.

.

D Have sts swap partners. Ask the new pairs to look at situations 1-3 and write two Third Conditional sentences for each of them. Walk around the classroom and monitor sts’ work. Classcheck. Possible answers: 1. If I hadn’t gone to that party, I wouldn’t have met that girl. If I hadn’t met that girl, I wouldn’t have got married. 2. If the police had not stopped him, he wouldn’t have lost his license. If he hadn’t offered them a bribe, he wouldn’t have gone to jail. 3. If Sue hadn’t taken the bus, she wouldn’t have had her ticket stolen. If Sue hadn’t bought a lottery ticket, she wouldn’t have won.

E

Tell sts that they are going to play the game “If Stones!” Divide the class into groups of four. In each group, assign two pairs: team 1 and team 2. If there is an odd number of sts in class, assign one group of three with two people on team 1 and one person on team 2. Give each group two coins, one for team 1 and another for team 2. Ask sts to set their coins just in front of the first square—“If I hadn’t come here today, I would have…” Refer sts to the instructions on the page and demonstrate tossing a coin and getting heads (to move one space) and tails (to move two spaces).

F

MAKE IT PERSONAL Assign new pairs. Have sts play “What would have happened if…?” Ask sts to look at D again and instruct them to come up with a similar sequence of at least three sentences about an event to create a story. Read letter a, “an accident that could’ve been a lot worse,” and elicit an example sequence. Then, model the activity by writing on the board: I put a flower vase on my window. My cat started playing with it. The vase fell off on the street. Nobody got hurt. I cleaned up the mess on the sidewalk. Leave the model on the board for sts to use as a reference.

Allow pairs of sts time to think of sequences for contexts b-f. Walk around the class and offer help if necessary.

Stronger classes Ask sts to look at their sequences and create Third Conditional questions using “What would’ve happened if I had(n’t) + participle…?” Tell sts to save their questions to ask the whole class later, when sts read their sequences to the group. When all sts have finished, refer to your model sequence on the board and elicit Third Conditional sentences related to the sequence, e.g., “If your cat hadn’t played with the vase, it wouldn’t have fallen off the window / this accident wouldn’t have happened.” / “If you hadn’t put the vase on the window, your cat wouldn’t have played with it.” Invite sts to read their sequences to the class and have the class come up with as many related Third Conditional sentences as possible. Monitor closely for accuracy and pronunciation, correcting on the spot, but also promoting peer correction and collaboration.

G Tell sts they’re going to play “Guess the Word.” Explain that they will guess the beeped words in sentences about Jacob Barnett, the genius from the article in B. Tell them that all the words are from the chart in F. Play the first part of 4.14 and challenge sts to say the missing word before it is actually said on the recording. Sts must be fast; do not pause the audio track. Award one point for sts who say the right word and two for sts who say the right word with the correct pronunciation, placing the stress on the correct syllable. Play the rest of 4.14 and continue the game. The answers are provided in the recording itself, at the end of each pause.

Tip If the number of sts is too large and it is difficult to hear which sts are pronouncing the word correctly, divide the class into two groups, team A and team B. Alternate turns, awarding sts’ points to their teams. 4.14 1 His parents suspected he had 2 He has trouble sleeping because

H

Have sts swap partners. Ask them to hide the article about Jacob Barnett with a sheet of paper, their notebooks, or their workbooks. Ask them to leave the first line of the text visible and to cover the rest. Explain that sts should work in pairs to read the first line of the article and guess the first word of the following line. Sts should then slowly slide the paper down to reveal only the next line of the text and check their guesses. Direct sts to repeat the procedure with all the lines of the article. At the end, ask pairs: Was it easy or difficult? How many did you get right?

in Action: Sympathizing and Criticizing A

Have sts look at the photos and elicit as many details as possible by asking: Where are these people? What might’ve happened? How do you think they feel?

F Oh my goodness! Well, look, at least you didn’t get hurt. [beep] It could’ve been worse. Conversation 2 Jo = Josh B = Belinda Jo Oh, no! Oh, no! Not again. B What? Jo Seven hours of work gone to waste. B What? Jo Oh, you don’t wanna know. B Know what? Jo PC crashed again. B Don’t tell me you had no backup. Josh, this is the third time this year! [beep] You should’ve known better. Conversation 3 G = Gina J = Jay G I thought this was a new car. J It is. G Oh… uh… so… J Worst thing I’ve ever bought. G Oh, no. Really? J Yeah, this is the second time it’s broken down. And don’t get me started on the price I paid. G Oh Jay, what a shame! You used to love your last Focus. [beep] Well, what’s done is done. You can always get rid of this one and get yourself a new model.

Read both examples for dialog 1 in the chart: “It could’ve been worse” vs. “Will you ever learn?” Point to both possibilities and say: Listen to the first conversation again and, when you hear the beep, guess which sentence will be used. Explain that sts will have four seconds to say it.

Conversation 4 D = David C = Carl A = Anna D God, I hate this one. C What? No, you don’t. D What do you mean? Look at this painting. My four-year-old could’ve done better. C David, shut up. A No, go on. I’m listening. D You know what I hate about it? A What? D The use of colors. The whole thing’s so primitive, you know? How can they call this art? C Listen, what my friend means is that… A Can you excuse me for a moment? There’s somebody I’ve got to speak to. C David, are you out of your mind? She’s the artist! D What? Oh my God. [beep] C What were you thinking? D But how was I to know?

Play 4.16 and elicit, or prompt sts to guess, the sentence after the beep. Challenge them to do so within the pause in the audio track. Pauses are followed by correct answers.

1. It could’ve been worse. 2. You should’ve known better. 3. What’s done is done. 4. What were you thinking?

Tell sts that they are going to listen to four dialogs. Ask them to number photos 1-4 according to what they hear. Play 4.15. Paircheck. Classcheck.

4, 3, 1, 2

When you greet people, you shouldn’t hug them and kiss them on the cheek. When you’re walking through a crowd, you should gently push your way through and say nothing. When you receive a gift, it’s good manners to open it later. Clocks make bad gifts. When drinking tea, you should pour your friends’ cup first. In Hong Kong it’s OK to blow on your soup. Leaving your chopsticks straight up means bad luck. After eating, you shouldn’t leave a tip on the table.

W So, can you tell me how the problem started? S Uh, it hit me that I was a, that I had a shopping problem when I was like $7,000 in debt. I had, like, credit cards with so many stores, and I just paid for everything on the cards, you know? But you know what? Most of the debt isn’t purchases. I mean, I have a LOT of stuff, but not $7,000! I maybe only spent, you know, like three—four thousand dollars on bags and shoes and things, but the rest of the money, the rest of the debt is the percentage, you know, the percentage the card company wants me to pay, the uh... the interest I have to pay. W And how did you feel? S So, it started to get, like, a BIG problem, you know? Like, I felt sick when I looked at my credit card statements and I just didn’t know what to do, I mean, how was I going to pay that money? I started borrowing money from friends,

How often do you go on shopping sprees? What type of products do you buy? What kind of products do you prefer to pay in monthly installments?

$10 here, $20 there. But most times I just spent it again, so that was no good. My friends told me I should ask my dad, but I couldn’t ask him to lend me money, ’coz he would be so angry with me. You know, it was so terrible. My relationships were breaking up, I was getting depressed, you know, and behind it all just this huge debt, you know? W That’s bad. So what did you decide to do about it? S So, yeah, then I heard about Shopaholics Anonymous, and I went to some meetings and got some help. And now, now I think things are getting better, you know? Like, they told me to all the credit cards and promise to pay and I, uh, also I, uh, cut up my credit cards, that was REALLY hard. And they helped me to make a plan, like, now I only go to the mall once a month, can you believe that? And I try to only spend $50 a week—I only use cash, so I put $50 in my purse on Monday and that’s it, no more for the week. Well that’s the plan, sometimes I spend a little more, like at holidays and things, you know? But you know what the big lesson I learned is? Don’t buy what you can’t afford. Simple as that. A.

Anyway, she lost her job, kept on shopping, just couldn’t stop, and uh… anyway, she ran up a huge debt. Massive debts. She owed the credit card company more than 20 grand, I think. So, long story short, here’s what she does… She creates a site, writes an honest letter on the home page—just like mine— and bingo! In a matter of days, the donations start pouring in, from all over the world. Turns out she was able to pay off her debt in 20 weeks. L Wow! So you’re telling me she got 20 grand from complete strangers? J No, no... It was actually 13K in donations and the rest… Well, I think she used her savings and sold some of her stuff on eBay or something like that… She actually wrote a book about her experience, and then, um, another one, now she’s a famous writer, apparently… They even made a movie out of her last book.

Review 3 Midterm The 55 Seconds game is an extended collaborative speaking game. Pairs play against each other as two teams competing and scoring points.

Tip This is an opportunity for an oral evaluation of the class at the end or midpoint of the course, depending on whether you are using the split or the full edition. The aim is to generate enough speech to give an oral mark. Monitor sts closely, so you hear enough of each student’s speech to be able to award a simple, impressionistic evaluation mark, for example: A = Excellent B = Very good C = Good D = Needs improvement This can translate into a significant percentage—20%, 30%, or even more—of your overall evaluation score for each student. To play the game, divide the class into groups of four. Each group is divided by two teams of two. Within each pair, sts should decide who is st A and who is st B. Groups can toss a coin to decide which team starts the game. Each of the five rectangles represents a unit, from unit 1 on the top left and continuing counterclockwise to unit 5 in the middle. There are four games in each unit square. Explain to sts that they will have 55 seconds for each game. One team monitors the time (55 seconds) while the other team plays. Once both teams have played all four games on a unit square, they should move on to the next one. The winner is the first team to reach a total of 55 points. They should shout out “55 finished!” when they get there. To begin, team 1 should start at the square for unit 1 (top left), and team 2 should start at the square for unit 4 (top right). First team 1 and then team 2 should play “Count the Questions.” Then, the teams should follow the arrows to their next units and play “Describe Discover.” Teams should continue following the arrows from one unit to the next, playing the games in this order: first “Count the Questions,” next “Describe Discover,” then “Role-Play,” and finally “Topic Talk.” Set up each game carefully the first time sts play it, so they know how to play it (see the examples below). Point out the instructions and scoring for each game under the unit 4 square. Have sts read the instructions before they start playing the game. To make sure they understand, ask them to give an example of what to do each time.

Count the Questions In this game, the opposing team chooses one of the small photos for the other team to speak about and counts the correct questions the sts are able to ask about it. St A asks all the questions he / she can about “the story behind the photo.” Each question scores one point, so the more correct

questions the student asks, the more his / her team scores. St B answers st A’s questions however he / she likes, trying to be as imaginative as possible. They score 1 point per correct question. The sts on the other team make a note of any questions they think are wrong and can challenge them at the end. If any of the questions are found to be incorrect, the team loses the point scored. Then sts swap roles and repeat the process using a different photo. For example, questions for the first photo in the unit 1 square might be the following: Who’s the woman in the photo? (The old lady on Facebook.) Is she sleeping? (No, she’s using a computer.) Is she alone? What’s she wearing? Is she eating? What’s she thinking? What’s behind her? Sts may make up any questions and answers they like; they do not need to match or the story from the book, as long as the question is accurate and the answer is reasonable for the question.

Describe Discover In this game, the opposing team chooses a noun, adjective, or verb from the unit and whispers it to st A. Then, st A must define and describe the word or phrase—without using the word itself—for st B, who listens, asks questions and takes guesses until he / she identifies and says the word. The team scores 5 points for a correct discovery within the 55 seconds. Then sts swap roles and repeat the process using a different word. For example, if the word were speed dating, st A might say, “It’s a noun. It’s something you do with people you don’t know. You go to a special place and meet lots of new people quickly. You ask questions and they ask you questions in a limited time, until you meet a person you like...”

Role-Play In this game, teams act out the situations illustrated in the large cartoons. Encourage sts to be creative! Give them 30 seconds to prepare and 55 seconds for the role-play itself. First one team and then the other should act out the same role-play. If they land on the same role-play twice, they should swap roles. Sts should be familiar with the idea of role-playing, as they have already done several role-plays during the course. Teams should calculate their points at the end of each role-play. To score, teams begin with 10 points and lose: • 1 point for each mistake the other team notices. (The opposing team should note mistakes and tell the other team at the end of the role-play.) • 5 points each time they pause for 5 seconds or more. (The other team should time this accurately.)

R3 Tip Before sts begin, you may wish to remind them of some useful fillers and hesitation devices, e.g., uh, er, um, well, you know, I mean, right, you know what I mean, where was I, so, as I was saying, anyway, the thing is, actually, literally, basically.

Topic Talk In this game, the opposing team chooses a topic from the three listed in the blue box and counts the mistakes as sts on the other team discuss the topic. In their discussions, sts should ask questions, give opinions on the pros and cons and generally say as much as they can that is relevant in 55 seconds. Then, sts should swap roles and the opposing team should choose a different topic for them to discuss. Remind sts to use each topic only once.

Teams should calculate their points at the end of each discussion. To score, teams begin with 10 points and lose: • 1 point for each mistake the other team notices. (The opposing team should note mistakes and tell the other team at the end of the discussion.) • 5 points each time they pause for 5 seconds or more. (The other team should time this accurately.) Monitor closely as sts play, resolve any questions about what is or is not accurate and keep a running tally of teams’ score to keep the games competitive and add to the fun. If one group finishes very quickly, have them swap partners and play again.

6.1

6 Unit overview: In unit 6, sts study restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses in the contexts of TV, movies, and videos. Sts also watch a “How to” video on how to make a movie and write their own tip on a different “How to” topic using Imperatives.

Are you addicted to TV? Lesson 6.1

Lesson Aims: Sts learn various TV genres, expressions, and TV-related vocabulary and use this vocabulary to talk about their personal viewing habits and programs in general. Function Answering a survey on TV.

Language Which kinds of TV shows are you into? How do you prefer foreign TV shows: dubbed or with subtitles? Listening to a father and daughter talk about the history of TV. The first TV I was in black and white, and it was massive. Talking about viewing habits. I often watch TV on my tablet in bed. Vocabulary: TV genres: cartoons, soap operas, sports events, live gigs, medical drama. Compound nouns: billboards, talk shows. Dubbed, subtitles, reviews, subscribe to, stream a show, trend on Twitter, cyber buddies, be into (something), be addicted to (something). Grammar: Review Present Simple for habits and routines.

Warm-up Have pairs of sts take turns asking and answering the lesson title questions from unit 5 on p. 48-57. Encourage sts to ask follow-up questions when appropriate. Monitor pairs closely and take notes of interesting or creative answers, as well as of the use of appropriate vocabulary and grammar, so you can provide them with positive at the end. Classcheck.

1 Vocabulary: TV Genres and Expressions A Books closed. Invite sts to list the best TV programs on local channels. Ask the whole class: In your opinion, which are the best TV programs on (sts’ nationality) channels? Think of at least five programs. Then ask: Which are the five worst programs? Classcheck. Discuss the genres of the TV shows sts mentioned by asking: What type of TV program is (name of show)? Is it a sitcom? Ask the same question about more local shows to pre-teach some TV genres: game shows, cartoons, reality TV, soap operas, documentaries, and news programs.

Books open. Focus on the photos on the top of p. 60-61 and find out whether sts recognize any of the programs, people or characters. Point to photo a and ask: What type of TV show is this? (talk show). Get sts to look at question 1 and match photos a-i to the TV genres. Paircheck. Play only question 1 in 6.1 and pause after each genre for choral and individual repetition. Classcheck sts’ answers to the matching activity by having them point to each photo as the genre is named in the track. Resume 6.1 for sts to listen to and read the rest of the survey.

(h) cartoons (b) stand-up comedy (c) game shows (e) medical drama (d) sitcoms (g) live gigs (a) talk shows (i) reality TV

B

Point to the words in bold in question 1 in A. Ask: What does it mean to “be into” something? Have sts look at that part of speech and the definition in the box: “verb really like.” Instruct sts to match the other words in bold and phrases from A to the remaining definitions in the box. They should write the “glossary” or base form of the words. Paircheck. Play 6.2 so sts can check their answers.

8. billboards 7. reviews 5. subscribe to 1. be into 2. (be) addicted to 3. dubbed 4. subtitles 6. season

C Read World of English with the whole class and elicit and drill pronunciation for all the compound nouns in the box. Ask: Can you think of any other compound nouns? Have pairs of sts take turns saying words from World of English on their own. Monitor sts’ pronunciation closely for word stress and correct any mistakes on the spot. Classcheck by inviting volunteers to pronounce a word for the class to repeat after them.

11/21/13 12:34 PM

6.1 Song line: There’s nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio. That means that much to me. Song: “America” Band: Razorlight (UK) Year: 2006

Go over Cyber English with the class. Then ask: What about “social TV”? Have you ever heard about that? Tell sts that they are going to listen to a conversation between a father and a daughter to learn about social TV. Play 6.3 and ask sts to check the correct answer. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask: What else did you understand?

6.3 Notice the sentence stress and weak forms. D = daughter F = father D Hey, did you have a TV when you were a kid, Dad? F Yeah, believe it or not. TV has been around pretty much for ever. But it’s changed a lot in my lifetime. D What? TV’s just TV, isn’t it? F No way! The first TV I was in black and white, and it was massive. TVs now, you can put them on the wall and they take up no space. When I was a kid, they were like a piece of furniture. D Huh. F And the way you guys watch TV is very different from my generation. D I don’t get it. What do you mean? F Just think. When I was a kid, we watched TV together in the evening as a family. D Watch TV with your parents? Yuck! F Yeah, really, and there was no choosing. We watched what Mom and Dad wanted to watch! Now, you all just or stream everything—sitcoms, movies, news programs— and watch what you want, when you want. D Live gigs, soaps, yeah, that’s true, I guess. Uh, I mean, I hardly ever watch TV in real time. Only big sports events.

F Or in the car on long journeys… You never speak to us! Yeah, and TV is just about everywhere now—on tablets, computers, smartphones—you name it. D Sure… F Hm, and even watching TV has changed. D How? We still use our eyes… F Yeah, right, but instead of chatting to friends or family in the same room, everybody uses their smartphones to chat with their “cyber buddies,” you know, somewhere else. D Oh, come on Dad! That’s social TV! Twitter is the best place to talk about TV now. F Uh-huh. But there’s one thing I’m sure of. The word “viewer” will never mean the same again. It’s where TV meets social media.

Cop Rock, and aired on ABC in the late 80s… No, no, no… Make that early 90s. 1990, actually. DJ 2 I wouldn’t it. I was still a baby. DJ 1 Yeah, right. Anyway, Cop Rock is about a group of policemen who—are you ready for this?—sing and dance while they’re at work arresting criminals and keeping the city safe. Kind of like Glee, you know, but with cops instead of high school students. TV Guide actually named it one of the worst shows ever and, honestly, I’m not surprised. Singing cops! Come on! DJ 2 How many episodes were there? DJ 1 Well, it lasted a whole season, actually. ABC spent a lot of money on Cop Rock and they really wanted it to succeed, but I guess America wasn’t ready for singing and dancing cops. 1.

MAKE IT PERSONAL Invite two volunteers to read the model dia the speech bubbles for the class. Focus on the 5 box and drill other possible endings for the model sentence about Joss Stone, e.g., “She’s a singer that most of my friends are into.” “She’s a singer who I’ve never even heard of.” “She’s a singer I can’t stand.”

Model the activity. Pair up with a student and say: You’re st A. I’m st B. Point to the first item in row A (“a singer / group”) and elicit an example from st A, e.g., “the band U2.” Then, point to the 5 box and say: It’s a band that I’m getting tired of. St B should use the name of the band supplied by st A to start the sentence, e.g., “U2 is…”. Have sts work with partners they don’t usually get a chance to talk to. Assign roles A and B within each pair. Explain that st A should look at row A and give an example of each item, i.e., the names of a singer / group, a song, a TV show, and an actor. St B should look at the 5 box and use phrases with relative pronouns to express opinions about each example provided by st A. Monitor pairs closely and offer help as necessary. Take notes for delayed correction. Have sts swap roles, with st B referring to line B, giving examples of a movie, a politician, a scientist, and a website. St A should use phrases from the 5 box to express opinions about each example. At the end, have sts suggest names of items from either A or B and invite several volunteers to give their opinions on the examples provided, using phrases from the 5 box.

What are the last three movies you saw? Lesson Aims: Sts study and practice inserting extra information with non-restrictive relative clauses through the context of listening to and reading about blockbuster movies.

Lesson 6.3

Function Reading about curious movie facts. Adding extra information. Listening to a radio quiz about a movie director. Writing questions for a movie quiz.

Language James Cameron initially didn’t want Titanic to have a theme song. George Clooney, who has starred in over 30 movies, also played Batman in 1997. Which American actor has starred in more than five Tim Burton movies? Which superhero does Robert Downey, Jr., who I’m really into, play in the movies?

Vocabulary: Star (in a movie), sequel, plot. Grammar: Non-restrictive relative clauses. Before the lesson: Sts will work in groups of six. Prepare a set of six paper cards for each group. On each card, write the name of a blockbuster movie or series: (1) Titanic, (2) Toy Story, (3) Avatar, (4) The Lord of the Rings, (5) Harry Potter, and (6) Pirates of the Caribbean. Shuffle the cards in each set so that although groups will be guessing the same six movies, the movies will appear in different orders, so sts won’t be able to copy or guess answers from the movie being described at the same time by other groups.

Song line:

Warm-up Divide the class into groups of six. Give one set of cards (see Before the lesson) to each group. Explain that sts should take turns picking up a card and saying what the story is about.

11/21/13 12:35 PM

6.3 specifies or defines—the woman who is being talked about. Refer sts to 4A in lesson 6.2 for examples of restrictive relative clauses. Reinforce the use of commas in non-restrictive relative clauses (as in sentence 1 on the board) and the absence of commas in restrictive relative clauses (as in sentence 2). Go over Common Mistakes with the whole group to teach the concept of that vs. which.

Tip For more practice, direct sts to Grammar on p. 127.

B

Ask sts to find and underline four other non-restrictive relative clauses in the text in 5B. Remind sts that nonrestrictive relative clauses can also be at the end of sentences, after a comma. Paircheck. Classcheck.

been talking about filmmakers who have changed American cinema. And we have Gloria on the line. Gloria, how’s it going? I’m good, thanks. The first question is about Tim Burton, who many people consider the finest filmmaker alive today. Oh my God, I love Tim Burton. I think he’s the best. So, here’s our first question… Are you ready? I guess… Which American actor has starred in more than five Tim Burton movies? That’s easy. Johnny Depp. Correct! Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, who are also close friends, have been collaborating since 1990. Oh, I love him too. Great actor. Second question… In 2005, Tim Burton directed a movie based on an old British novel. It was about an eccentric guy who owned a factory. What did his factory produce? Can you give me a clue? Well, it’s something that some people are addicted to. Oh, I know, I know. Chocolate. Did you say chocolate? Yep. You’re absolutely… right. The movie, which only received one Oscar nomination, is called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Although it’s supposed to be for kids, I loved it! Anyway, here’s our third question. What color does Tim Burton wear most of the time? What color does he like to wear? Oh… That’s a tough one. OK Gloria. Time’s up. Well, there’s a lot of blood in some of his movies, so I think he likes… red? Well, actually, no… Tim Burton once allegedly said he likes to wear black because he’s too lazy to match up different colors when he’s getting dressed. Well, that makes sense. Most of his films are pretty dark, aren’t they? Question 4 is about Steven Spielberg. Are you ready?

1. Johnny Depp

2. Chocolate

3. Black

6.4 6.10 Notice the stress and weak forms. Here are some tips and tricks to making a short video. Plan your shoot. What is your video about? Sketch out your idea. Think about what your topic will be and how many people will be in it. What do you want the final video to look like? Technologies. Decide what media you will be using: digital camera, camcorder, webcam or mobile phone. Capture your clips. Press the record button a few seconds before the actual shoot. The professionals always say “Keep it steady.” If possible, use a tripod. Take lots of shoots and still images— they might come in handy. Try not to cut off the top of the subject’s head. Lighting. Shoot in a well-lit area. Make sure there is not a bright light like the sun behind the subject. Before your final recording, do a test shoot to check the lighting. Length of shoot. Plan your script beforehand. Don’t talk about one topic for too long, as this may lose the viewer’s interest. Keep the video short and simple. Sound and audio. It’s best to use an external microphone. Always be conscious of background noise. Always do a sound check before the actual shoot. Copyright. If you are shooting outside, make sure you don’t capture anyone on camera without their permission. It can be difficult to use images from the Internet, so be adventurous and take your own. Always gather written permission from your subjects. Accessibility. To make your video accessible to all: Prepare transcripts, use subtitles, record a voiceover if you are making a video of still images. And , have fun making your video. Personal answers.

N Hi, I’m Nick Gillespie with Reason TV. I’m here today with Mark Bauerlein, author of The Dumbest Generation. A provocative new book that says “the digital age stupefies young Americans and jeopardizes our future.” In fact, there’s even a, uh, second uh, subtitle, which says “don’t trust anyone under thirty.” Mark, what’s the premise of the book?

It doesn’t open them up to the great big world… of ideas and artworks and, and, and documents and politics and foreign affairs—which is all out there on the Internet, the potential is there. Instead, it gives them what… teenagers really care about: other teenagers. N Mmm hmm. M Access to one another. They’re not going to the Smithsonian Institution website. When Nielsen Ratings examined the most popular websites for young adults, nine out the top ten, teenagers, nine out of the top ten were for social networking. N Mmm.

Vocabulary: Logo, makeover, college lecture, fortunately, however, in addition. Grammar: Expressing preferences: prefer (something) to, like (something) better, both, either.

Lesson 8.5

Function Comparing old and new logos. Listening to and predicting information.

8.18 ... the next couple of days. So today, as part of our “image is everything” series, we’re going to be looking at the reasons behind three different companies—global companies— altering their logos and how their target markets liked—or didn’t like—the new versions. And trust me, some of the stories are fascinating. Our very first…

You aren’t from New York.

You aren’t from New York, are you?

The cost involved.

Resume 8.19 so sts can check their answers. Repeat the procedure for sentences 2-6, pausing the track at each beep. Classcheck. 8.19 So, as most of you probably know, Myspace was by far the most popular social networking site from 2006 to 2008. At the time, it was worth, what, about 12 billion dollars... Yeah... Things were going pretty well for Myspace. But one day… (beep) Facebook came along and, sadly, Myspace started to shrink—profits fell, people were fired, and so on. So, here’s what Myspace does: it radically changes its… logo. Now, do I like it? Well, obviously, existing s—the people who already access Myspace— won’t have trouble ing the name of the site. However, (beep) if you’re trying to attract new s, you know, people who might’ve never visited the site, then that might not work. I mean, how do they type the address? What name do they google? So, was this a good idea? Hmm... (beep) Definitely not. Now, take a look at the second slide... As some of you

8.5 may know, in 2011, Starbucks celebrated its, uh, its 40th anniversary. To mark the occasion, they must’ve thought: “Hey, let’s create a new logo and drop the words ‘Starbucks Coffee.’” Well, unfortunately, (beep) most Starbucks customers were not crazy about the new logo... They preferred the old one and didn’t quite understand why Starbucks took their name off. Well, personally, (beep) I find the new green logo simple and elegant. You see, Starbucks and its logo are well-known all over the world, and the green circle… well, the green circle speaks for itself. In other words, (beep) the logo doesn’t need to tell the world that it’s Starbucks Coffee—everybody knows that. 1. negative 2. new

They must’ve tried to create something modern and contemporary, but, boy, were they wrong. The dark blue square on the left certainly looked very traditional, didn’t it? It was used for more than... more than two decades, and most people loved it. Then the new one comes along and, guess what, everybody... hates it. In a matter of hours, there are thousands—I mean thousands—of negative comments on Facebook and Twitter. A few weeks later, Gap discards the new logo, returns to the old one, and fires the president. How about that? Honestly, I think they were right to go back to the old one. Moral of the story? Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Personal answers.

For using something that’s out there for the whole world to use? Just last month they arrested this 19-year-old who’d been ing CSI episodes. That’s so unfair! That’s why I really think songs, books and music should be completely free. Also… 2 So this one’s kind of hard to answer, but, uh… Gee, I don’t know, maybe… armed robbery... I’ve been living in this neighborhood for, what, two years and I’ve never seen a robber. So, yeah, I mean, I never even think about it. I feel pretty safe here, actually. By the way, this is really for a school project, right? I mean, you’re not going to share this on the Internet or anything, are you? 3 … Uh, yeah. Burglary. Our next door neighbors went away for the weekend and someone broke into their house. I was watching TV, you know, and I saw the whole thing. The burglar was a woman in her 40s—yeah, a woman, a blonde woman wearing a mask. I called the cops, but when they got there, she’d already left, you know? So, I wondered… 4 … Yeah, and call me a pessimist, but, really, I don’t see any way out. What are this generation’s values? No one knows for sure. No wonder teens are turning to drugs more and more, and I… well, I think drug dealing is likely to get worse as the years go by. And you know what? The new legislation next year will probably make no difference. I mean, sending drug dealers to prison is not enough. You see… Excuse me… 5 … Yeah. Well, not only me, but every mother in my neighborhood. I mean, my husband and I are doing OK: brand new car, nice house, we’ve just had a new pool built… So, you know, all eyes are on us. So, uh... I keep telling my kids to, you know, just run if someone they don’t know gets too close… Run as fast as they can, no matter who—anyone can be a kidnapper in potential, you know? Or, God forbid, even a murderer. So, yeah, that’s something that worries me. A lot. Oh, and here’s something else…

Which of the crimes listed… Speaker 1 … shouldn’t be considered a crime? Speaker 2 … do you worry about the least? Speaker 3 … have / has affected someone you know? Speaker 4 … will probably increase in the next 10 years? Speaker 5 … do you worry about the most?

More and more attacks will be carried out wirelessly, and we won’t be protected. Viruses will spread across multiple devices very, very easily. They’ll jump from phone to phone... and then from phone to laptop and then to tablet… H Over wireless networks… D Exactly. So you might be walking down the street and… bang! And you know, there’s actually some data suggesting that by the end of the decade 20% of all world smartphones will have been targeted by cybercriminals. And that’s an optimistic estimate. H Wow.

We find the defendant guilty. He was sentenced to three days in jail… … fine and three days at the local penitentiary. … and had to pay a $1,000 fine. But for whatever reason the judge gave him an alternative: listen to classical music for 30 hours. Easy choice, right? Not for Michael.

phone rang and broke the silence. Judge Robert Rather didn’t like what he heard: “Whose phone is ringing? Bring it to me now!” Nobody did. “Everyone will be arrested unless I get that phone now!” Again, no one confessed. Judge Rather wasn’t kidding: all forty-four people present were charged with disturbing the peace and sent to jail. After suffering in prison for a couple of hours, they were released, of course. But the judge was permanently removed from office for abusing judicial power. In a recent interview, he said he had been under a lot of stress. Last month, 42-year-old Joe Montana woke up and decided to get himself into trouble. On his way to work, he ed four police officers and called all of them “pigs.” Montana was arrested for disrespecting an official, taken to court and, to his wife’s despair, convicted. But here’s the unusual part: Joe Montana was given a choice. He could be sentenced to a week in jail or stand on a street corner next to a 400 lb pig for two hours. As if this was not bad enough, he would have to wear a T-shirt that said “Not a police officer.” Joe chose the pig.

1. A man called four police officers “pigs.” 2. A phone rang in San Francisco’s District Court and, as nobody confessed to owning the phone, the judge sent all the people present to jail.

What was your best birthday present ever? / Are you good at making excuses? Lesson Aims: Sts learn how to identify sarcasm in writing and look at and practice phrases for making excuses. Language … giving her one-year-old son a relatively inexpensive $40,000 birthday party. Listening to people giving excuses. “Go away or I’ll call the police.” “Wait a minute. This is not what it looks like!” Acting out excuses. It’s not what it seems! Just hear me out! Vocabulary: Expressions describing people: “a man of principles,” “self-proclaimed.” Phrases for giving excuses. Grammar: Review of say vs. tell. Before the lesson: Write the following questions on the board:

Lesson 9.5

Function Reading and identifying sarcasm.

Will you have saved enough money to buy a new car by this time next year? Will you have finished your English course five years from now?

Warm-up Review the Future Perfect and the Future Continuous by pointing out the questions on the board (see Before the lesson) and having sts discuss them in pairs. Classcheck.

Skills: Identifying Sarcasm A

Focus on the text title, “Crime doesn’t pay. Especially if you’re a dumb criminal.” Elicit predictions about the text. Tell sts that they are going to read stories about four “not very brilliant” criminals. Have them read the stories. Refer sts to 1B and 1C on p. 94-95 and ask them to use the vocabulary on these pages to name the crimes described in paragraphs 1-4. Paircheck. Classcheck.

1. robbery 2. kidnapping 3. theft 4. burglary

B

Read the four titles with the whole class and have sts match them to stories 1-4 in A. Classcheck.

1. Old enough to break the law. 2. Nope, it never happened. 3. Too much information. 4. Unintended call. Ask: How do you think stories 1-4 end? What will happen next? Have sts work in pairs to make predictions. Then, classcheck sts’ guesses and play 9.17 to check.

9.17 Crime doesn’t pay. Especially if you’re a dumb criminal. 1 Old enough to break the law. Twenty-four-year-old Harry Zimmerman walked into the local convenience store with a gun and told the cashier to put all the money in a bag. On

By this time next week, what important thing will you have done? What will you be doing tomorrow between 8 and 9 p.m.? Will you be working in 20 years’ time?

his way out, Zimmerman saw a bottle of scotch behind the counter and told the cashier to put it in the bag too, which the woman refused to do because she suspected he might be under 21. So, to prove his age, Zimmerman, a man of principles, showed her his driver’s license, took the bottle and ran away. A few minutes later, he was arrested. Guess what? The cashier had called the police and given them his name and address. 2 Nope, it never happened. Forget “the dog ate my homework.” Today’s kids have infinitely better ideas. Like 22-year-old Brazilian student Susan Correia, for example, who was charged with reporting a false crime. One day Susan called her mother in tears and told her that she’d just managed to escape from an old deserted house, where three armed men had held her captive for a whole day. In despair, her mother called the police, who soon discovered that Susan had actually spent the day at a friend’s house. At the police station, Susan itted that she faked the crime because she hadn’t studied for a test at school and didn’t want to disappoint her mom. Again. Nice try, Susan. 3 Too much information. Rashia Wilson, from Tampa, Florida, was sentenced to 22 years in prison for buying a $70,000 sports car and giving her one-year-old son a relatively inexpensive $40,000 birthday party—you know, just like the ones your parents used to throw. Unfortunately, the self-proclaimed queen of fraud (yes, that’s what she called herself. Subtle, huh?) took lots of photographs revealing how she’d been using taxpayer’s money and, believe it or not, posted them on her Facebook page! For the whole world to see—and that includes the police. 4 Unintended call. Today’s ultra smart criminal award comes from Fresno, California. 911 operator Christina Roberts received a very unusual phone call. She heard a male voice saying “I don’t think there’s anybody home,” followed by the sound of glass being broken. A few seconds later, another one asked “Where’s the safe?” It didn’t take her long to realize what was going on. Two men were breaking into a house and one of the burglars had accidentally dialed 911— maybe his phone was in his back pocket. Pure genius.

Read definitions 1-3 with the class and have sts check the one they think best describes a “toxic friend.” Play 10.15 so sts can check their answer. Then ask: Who do you think suffers more from this problem: men or women?

10.15 Any true relationship between friends or significant others should be one between equals: you give and take equally. One person’s needs aren’t met over another’s. Friends and partners are supposed to give you energy and lift you up when you’re down and want the best for you. But… sometimes we get into relationships that drain energy from us. These are toxic relationships and they can negatively affect all aspects of our lives. On this week’s WellCast, we’re going to tell you how you can tell if you’re even in a toxic relationship. And then we’re going to help you extricate yourself from that unhealthy situation, pronto!

C Tell sts that part 2 gives viewers / listeners step-by-step tips on how to deal with toxic friends. Point to the chart and ask sts to read 1-6 briefly. Pre-teach the literal meaning of doormat—show a real one or google images of it—and tell sts that they are going to hear this word in the recording. Play part 2 of 10.16 and have sts match the two columns in the chart. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask: What does “doormat” mean in this context?

10.16 Notice the pauses. Step 1: Diagnose the relationship. How do you know if a friend or partner is bringing you down? Well, in much the same way that you know you’re coming down with a cold. Toxic relationships come with symptoms. When you’re around this person, how do you feel? Here are a few other questions you should ask yourself if you’re thinking you might be in a toxic situation: Does my friend put me down all the time? Are they jealous when I spend time with others? Do they constantly bring up parts of me that they want to change? Do they take more than they give? Am I only doing the things that they want to do? Step 2: Recognize your role in the relationship. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.” All right, look, you know we got that from The Princess Diaries, obviously. Moving on. Listen, you have autonomy in every relationship in your life. If a friend or partner is stealing your sunshine, you need to figure out what you’re doing to allow them to do this. Are you being a doormat? Are you putting this person’s emotional needs ahead of your own health?

169


11/21/13 12:36 PM

10.4 Step 3: Start to build boundaries for this relationship. Does your friend invite themselves over at all hours of the night? Are they constantly bossing you around? Are they always borrowing money from you? Once you know the boundary that you want to set, stick to it! Draw your line in the sand. Step 4: Recognize that you can’t change other people, but you can stop being a doormat. If you’ve determined that a friendship or relationship is toxic, you know that you have to change the nature of that relationship. Start by spending less time with that person and do your best to detach yourself emotionally. Setting boundaries will hopefully help you begin to phase this relationship out. Step 5: Get a second opinion. Especially if you’re emotionally vulnerable, the best thing you can do is surround yourself with people who love you and who want you to be happy and healthy. Use them as a lifeline during this time. Step 6: Above all else, look out for yourself. Studies have shown that people with low self-esteem are far more likely to find themselves in toxic relationships. You will never be treated with love and respect unless you absolutely believe that you deserve these things. : you teach people how to treat you. So do yourself the favor of loving yourself!

expressing your ideas fluently instead of speaking 100% correctly all the time. ’Cause, you see, the more you stop to think about what you’re going to say next, the more you hesitate. And : People will still understand you if you make a few mistakes. And here’s another suggestion: Have you thought about asking a friend to practice with you for a few hours a week? You probably have at least one or two friends who speak some English, right? So think about it: You can have fun and improve your English at the same time without having to, I don’t know, live abroad or anything. Thanks for writing Bruna. Our second message comes from South Korea. Our listener says he has trouble understanding spoken English… Yeah, that’s a common problem. Byung-Sang, listen, I have two suggestions. First, listen to as much English as you can outside the classroom. For example, a good way of practicing is watching Internet videos on sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, and so on, at least every other day, for about an hour or so. Religiously. Turn the subtitles on and off sometimes too. But be sure to choose a variety of videos—both more and less challenging, OK? And who knows, you might even learn a new expression or two! And here’s the second suggestion: If you want to improve your listening, you should consider giving pronunciation a little more attention. Yeah, I’m serious. Research has shown that students with good pronunciation tend to be much better listeners. How about that? And our final message comes from Omar—where’s he from?— oh, Turkey, wow. Omar says he’s not comfortable reading quickly, for, uh, for general comprehension. Omar, listen, your friend is right: reading too slowly is not always a good idea. For example, if you take an international exam, you’ll need to be able to read fast, without a dictionary. So here’s what I think you should do: Next time you approach a text, read it once quickly first. Then, if necessary, read it again, more carefully, looking for information you need. But try to avoid reading slowly all the time. And about your vocabulary question, here’s something that might help: learn words together. For example, how about learning “make an effort” instead of “effort”? Or “take a course” rather than only “course”? Our brains like these kinds of associations, you know? Well, that does it for us tonight. In the next episode, we’ll be talking about…
