Culture and language Welcome to Lifestyle, an international course in English for work, socializing and travel Lifestyle is designed to meet the practical needs of adults who need English for a variety of reasons whether it be in their work or to mix socially with foreign nationals, or for travel and interaction with other travellers Lifestyle’s syllabus encompasses both professional and general English, so it is particularly suitable for classes where students have mixed needs You could use Lifestyle with any of the following student groups: • Students who have both professional and social goals for learning English • Company classes where the students come from different sections of an organization and perform different jobs • Diverse groups of people with different jobs and professions These groups might also include students embarking on their careers or people preparing for a career change • Students who have not yet identified a career specialism but anticipate a need for professional English in their future The key goal of Lifestyle Communication strategies Lifestyle’s key goal is to enable students to speak English with confidence Conversation is unpredictable and we cannot rehearse all the different English conversations our students will have in our lessons However, we can prepare them with coping strategies for a wide variety of situations Communication strategies are techniques for overcoming difficulties in communicating The communication strategies lessons in Lifestyle are designed to help students to explain what they mean, build relationships and use English effectively to get things done Functional language In addition to practical techniques such as checking understanding and active listening, Lifestyle targets functional language So it provides practice in language for making requests, offering, inviting, suggesting, thanking, agreeing, disagreeing, etc But in addition to providing functional expressions, Lifestyle aims to provide usage information on when and how we use the expressions When we use functional language in English, we follow rules Like grammar rules, we follow them subconsciously and we are often unaware of them until they are broken To a large extent these rules are ‘secret’ They cannot be uncovered by looking at lists of examples in the way we might discover grammar rules They depend on context, social relationships and culture In Lifestyle, we aim to uncover the rules The same sentence in English can perform different functions For example, if someone says Is that your jacket on the floor? they could simply be enquiring if the jacket belongs to you But in another context, they could be requesting that you move it Meanings depend on context and along with understanding the words people say, students need to understand their intentions To explain how the functional language performs, Lifestyle looks beyond the literal meanings of the words that make up functional phrases to the intentions that lie behind them Language and culture are tied together in many ways and direct translations from one language to another are not always possible An appropriate thing to say or in one situation in one language may be inappropriate in another Request forms are a good example To get people to things, English speakers often use expressions such as Could you ? or Would you ? where a bare imperative form (Do it) would be used in other languages Translated directly into other languages the English phrases would sound peculiar But failure to use them in English could make a speaker sound abrupt, uncaring, or even rude in many circumstances Lifestyle aims to raise awareness of some of these cultural differences Appropriacy and directness To communicate effectively, both grammar and appropriacy are important If a student begins a discussion with I am not agree, there is clearly a grammar issue I don’t agree or I disagree would be the correct form But there may also be an appropriacy issue Disagreement is often signalled tentatively at the start of English discussions and it is possible that the student is sounding more forceful and argumentative than they intended Err, yes but might better represent what they intended to say in English When students make grammatical mistakes in English, people generally recognize them as exactly that and they understand that they result from the language learning process However, when students make mistakes like this, they are often interpreted on a social or personal level People may attribute an inappropriate form to someone having a difficult personality There are many things we routinely say in English which are indirect For example, if someone asks you Are you busy? it could be a genuine inquiry about your workload, or it could be a polite signal that they want your help or attention Many people feel a direct style of communication would be better Saying I want your help would certainly be clearer However, indirectness is a regular feature in English conversation (as it is in many other languages) and it is not realistic to expect that students won’t encounter it Also, indirectness can have social www.frenglish.ru A02_LIFE_TB_PINGLB_3919_INTR.indd 10/03/2010 09:30 Introduction benefits Are you busy? can demonstrate a polite concern that I want your help lacks Lifestyle’s approach to communication strategies Critical incidents To raise cultural awareness, Lifestyle includes critical incidents These are short anecdotes about situations where cross‑cultural miscommunication has occurred The stories are generally told from two angles and illustrate two different ways of thinking Both ways are logical and neither one is right or wrong They are simply different The incidents illustrate ways in which the social rules people follow can vary from culture to culture Conversational dynamics Conversation is a dynamic process that involves turn taking If A says Hi, how are you? we can expect that B will respond with something like Fine thanks, and you? It is a unit of conversation where one person says something that almost requires another to respond in a certain kind of way In Lifestyle, functional language is generally presented in pairs of utterances rather than single-item lists The goal is to equip students with units of conversation, which are the basic building blocks of conversation Communication strategies Lifestyle highlights communication strategies that English speakers commonly use when they are getting things done For example, when we’re thanking someone, we might express delight, offer to repay them, say they shouldn’t have gone to any trouble or exaggerate and say things like You’re my hero or You’re a lifesaver Some of these strategies will be similar to the strategies students employ in their own language Others may be different You will find further information on communication strategies in the relevant sections of the Lifestyle Coursebook and in the detailed teaching notes in this Teacher’s book Working with Lifestyle pairwork activities by taking one of the roles yourself Where appropriate, you will find ideas and suggestions for adapting the group activities to one-to-one classes in the Teacher’s book notes for each lesson Lifestyle is particularly appropriate for one-to-one situations as many of the activities in the course draw on a student’s individual opinions and experiences which can be particularly fruitful areas to explore in one-to-one settings Components of the course Coursebook The Coursebook is the central component of Lifestyle and it contains the tasks and activities students will work on in class The Coursebook units are divided into double-page lessons, each with a clear aim, which are designed to make the course flexible and easy-to-use The number of units varies across the levels See more detailed information on the structure of each level’s Coursebook in Lifestyle at a glance on pages 8–12 CD-ROM The CD-ROM is attached to the back of the Coursebook This component provides extra practice and self-assessment for students working alone through a variety of interactive activities, including listenings It also contains a mini-dictionary and the complete set of Coursebook audio files in MP3 format Class CDs Audio recordings are available on the two CDs that accompany the Coursebook and are also available as MP3 files on the Coursebook CD-ROM Workbook The Workbook contains further practice of areas covered in the corresponding units of the Coursebook and introduces extra vocabulary to build lexis in the topic area The Workbook is designed to provide practice activities for personal study, allowing students to practise the language they have learnt in class independently outside class The answer key is included so students can check their own progress Workbook CD Flexible format Teaching situations vary so Lifestyle has been designed to have a flexible format so that you can work with the units in different ways You can start at the beginning and work through from beginning to end Following this path means students build on grammar structures and vocabulary that have gone before and steadily extend their skills Lifestyle includes regular review and provides constant progression Each spread in Lifestyle is a stand-alone lesson This means you can dip in and out, selecting particular lessons to meet the specific needs and interests of your class This approach is most effective when time is short and you doubt there will be time to complete everything One-to-one classes Lifestyle can be used for both small and large class sizes and many of the practice activities involve working in pairs or small groups If you are teaching one-to-one, you can perform the Attached to the back of the Workbook, the CD contains all the Workbook listenings for extra practice Teacher’s book This provides all the support teachers need including detailed teaching notes, cultural, functional and background notes and extra photocopiable materials The Teacher’s book is accompanied by a Test Master CD-ROM Test Master CD-ROM Attached to the back of the Teacher’s book, the Test Master CD-ROM is an invaluable resource to accompany Lifestyle The tests are based strictly on the content of the Coursebooks, providing a fair measure of a student’s progress The audio files for the listening tests are conveniently located on the same CD-ROM The tests can be printed out and used as they are, or can be adapted using Microsoft® Word to edit them to suit different teaching situations The Test Master CD‑ROM contains the following: Unit Tests (one ‘A’ and one ‘B’ test for www.frenglish.ru A02_LIFE_TB_PINGLB_3919_INTR.indd 10/03/2010 09:30 Introduction each unit); Progress Tests (one ‘A’ and one ‘B’ for every three units plus additional optional speaking and writing tests); a Final Test (one ‘A’ and one ‘B’ version) Website Further materials will be available on the Pearson Longman website: www.pearsonlongman.com/lifestyle These will include free downloadable wordlists, MP3 files of the listening material for each unit of the course as well as videos explaining aspects of the course for the teacher’s reference Unit sections Speaking Speaking is a top priority skill in Lifestyle and every lesson includes a substantial speaking task or activity There are a wide variety of task types including roleplays, discussions, questionnaires, talks, games, etc These tasks provide students with opportunities to experiment with new grammar, vocabulary or functional language and put it to use in a freer context Talking points The input lessons in Lifestyle finish with Talking points – discussion questions which invite students to express their personal ideas and opinions on the topic of the lesson They are positioned at the end of the lesson, but the Talking points can also be discussed earlier in the class if students bring them up (see Lifestyle at a glance pages 8–12) Listening Lifestyle listening texts include social conversations, telephone calls, professional meetings, discussions, talks, etc Students will hear speakers with different accents in the audio recordings They include British, American and other native speaker varieties and they also feature many foreign accents from around the world The goal is to prepare students to operate in international contexts Audio scripts of all the recordings can be found at the back of the Coursebook on pages 146–163 Reading There are a variety of different reading texts in Lifestyle (articles, quizzes, emails, etc.) and they feature many real people, companies, products and dilemmas They have been designed to provide a clear presentation of new language and also to prompt discussion Reading texts are generally short and snappy to maximize opportunities for speaking practice in classroom time More reading practice is available in the Workbook Mini glossaries are provided with most of the reading texts These mini glossaries give the student instant definitions for those words in a reading text that are not high frequency but that students would need to know to understand the text The grammar points presented in these sections will be practised again later with speaking practice activities in new contexts There is also a Grammar reference at the back of the Coursebook (see section on the Grammar reference) Word focus Lifestyle takes a systematic approach to vocabulary development Each unit is built around a different theme and each lesson has a different topic Together they cover a wide range of social and professional subjects To help students fix words and phrases in their memory, each unit of Lifestyle contains one or more Word focus activities Lifestyle pays special attention to collocations – words that are frequently used together in phrases Writing Each unit of Lifestyle contains a writing task Emails take priority but tasks such as writing PowerPoints, greeting card messages and reports on progress are also featured These tasks provide students with an opportunity to use the language they have learnt to produce written messages for a variety of work and social needs Extra materials There are three sections with extra materials at the back of the Coursebook You might want to draw your students’ attention to them at the start of the course Information files These files contain information for pairwork and small group activities Instructions for when and how to use them are provided in the Coursebook and are labelled ‘Turn to File 00, page 00’ Audio scripts Scripts of all the listening materials are available on pages 146–163 Grammar reference There is a Grammar reference section on pages 164–176 of the Coursebook that draws the grammar information together and provides a comprehensive overview Grammar is presented step-by-step throughout the lessons in the Coursebook and there are frequent cross-references to the Grammar reference section set within the grammar tables and in the Reminder box of each unit There is also a list of irregular verbs at the end of the Grammar reference section on page 176 Grammar Lifestyle takes a discovery approach to grammar Multiple examples of grammar structures are presented in context in listening and reading texts and then students are encouraged to deduce the patterns and complete the rules for themselves
