also be found in this Teacher’s Guide on pages 90–101 Get Ahead devotes a page in every fourth unit to guided writing Through model texts and carefully supported writing guides, all students will be able to produce their own writing in a variety of text types including postcards, e-mails and descriptions The Writing worksheets on the Teacher’s Resource Disc (TRCD) provide an extra page of Writing practice for each unit Each level has 12 units of six pages Each unit has three lessons, which include a page of language presentation followed by a ‘language in use’ exploitation page Each lesson is

order to increase flexibility, each individual page can also be taught as separate, individual lessons The principal focus of the course is to practice vocabulary and grammar in communicative contexts

of reading, listening, speaking and writing Get Ahead level corresponds to CEFR A1–2 (Beginner to Elementary) This means that at the end of level 2, students will be able to: • understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment) • communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters • describe in simple terms aspects of his/her background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need Grammar Each unit in Get Ahead contains a page of grammar presentation and practice Each grammar presentation includes opportunities for students to experience and produce the language

unit there is a Pronunciation activity focusing on difficulties encountered by Asian learners Introduction 4131094 GetAhead TG2 PRESS.indb PISA framework PISA (The Program for International Student Assessment) is an international framework aimed at evaluating the performance of students at the end of compulsory education across various subject areas, such as reading, mathematics and science The style of the reading assessment, which encourages critical thinking, is becoming increasingly influential in assessing students In Get Ahead, students study a variety of text types Through the listening and Try it out activities which follow the reading text, students are encouraged to interpret and reflect on the topic they have read These activities help to build skills needed for

are made up of students with different • learning abilities As a teacher, you need to recognize individual students’ abilities and differentiate the activities you give them accordingly Throughout the teaching notes there are activity ideas for weaker students, who need more reinforcement and review, and for stronger students, who need more challenge to enable them to learn language more autonomously Vocabulary • Make your vocabulary presentations as visual as possible • • • • by using pictures from magazines or the Internet With stronger students, brainstorm vocabulary before getting students to open their books With stronger students, any vocabulary exercises orally, especially gap fills Teach students how to read phonetic symbols Encourage them to use the phonetic transcription in the Wordlist in the Workbook and in their dictionary as a guide This will help encourage learner autonomy Use the Vocabulary Builder at the back of the Student Book to review and extend vocabulary Grammar • Where possible, elicit a translation of the new grammar • • • • • • structure from students at the end of each presentation Leave a model sentence on the board for weaker students to refer to when practicing grammar structures Complete the first two sentences in a grammar exercise with the whole class, so that students know exactly what they have to and so feel more confident With stronger students, all of the grammar exercises orally Allow students to compare their answers Let individual students correct their own mistakes by giving a prompt to indicate the error, e.g Are you sure? Encourage peer correction among all the students by using the prompt Can anyone help? Use the Grammar Builder at the back of the Student Book to explain grammar rules more fully and for extra practice • • Listening • Ask students to read the task and predict the answers before listening • With weaker students, pre-teach any vocabulary and • • • • Before reading, encourage students to look at the pictures and • • • • • • • the headings and predict what the text is going to be about Read the article aloud with the class Ask them to point out key words that they know and write them on the board With weaker students, ask them to underline any new vocabulary Make sure that students ask about vocabulary using appropriate expressions in English Read through the reading task with students and make sure they understand the questions and what they have to Encourage weaker students to underline the part of the text which contains the answers to the questions Get stronger students to write some extra comprehension questions to ask the rest of the class Writing • Use class time to show students how they can use the • Always greet your students in English at the beginning • write it on the board Play the audio a number of times Encourage students to listen carefully for general understanding the first time The second time they should listen for specific information and make notes With weaker students, you may want to prepare a photocopy of the audio script for students to read while listening a third time, so that they can finish answering any questions they find difficult With stronger students, adapt listening tasks to make them more challenging For example, ask Wh- questions instead of using true or false tasks and ask them to answer with complete sentences Reading Speaking and end of each class Review months and dates from time to time by asking What’s the date today? Be prepared to accept one word answers from weaker students as long as they are in English Encourage stronger students to use complete sentences With weaker students, practice dialogues as a class first and leave some words on the board as prompts Allow students to keep their books open during dialogues, so that they can see the model dialogue When students have to answer questions about themselves, allow weaker students to write out their answers first encourage them to invent more questions or a similar dialogue Make a note of pronunciation mistakes and correct them as a whole class after an activity has finished Use the Communication pairwork worksheets on the Teacher’s Resource Disc for more speaking practice • • • • • model text and preparation questions to help them Write a collaborative piece on the board, referring to the model and using answers and ideas from the students Ask students to write in pairs This encourages teamwork and also makes it easier for you to circulate round the class If possible, use a session in the computer room for writing Students often prefer to key in their work If they save their work you can ask them to correct and edit it Always make it very clear to your students that you will correct and assess their work This is important for students’ motivation It is motivating to display students’ written work on the walls Use the Writing worksheets on the Teacher’s Resource Disc for more writing practice © Copyright Oxford University Press 4131094 GetAhead TG2 PRESS.indb Introduction ix 29/10/2013 11:08 ASEAN PROJECT 5:  A tourist brochure Read the tourist brochure Where can people go parasailing? www.amazingvietnamcamps.oup.com Home Dates Our Camps Amazing Vietnam adventure camps Have you ever wanted to visit Vietnam?

Coral reefs Coral reefs are built by tiny marine animals, called corals They grow in large colonies and produce a hard mineral, called calcium Reefs grow best in warm, shallow water Most coral reefs form around volcanic islands, but some reefs, like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, form on underwater hills and rocks Coral reefs are often called the “rainforests of the sea," as so many sea animals live on them They occupy less than 0.1% of the world’s ocean surface, yet they provide a home for 25% of all marine species Case 1: Tioman Island, Malaysia Tioman is a tropical island near the south-east coast of the Malay Peninsula It has 245 km of coastline and its highest point is an extinct volcano called Gunung Kajang The coral reefs around the island contain 183 species of coral, as well as 223 species of fish Case 2: Tubbataha Reef, Philippines The Tubbataha Reef is near Palawan Island, in the Sulu Sea It formed on a group of extinct volcanoes that are now underwater The reef now has an area of about 1,300 km2 It contains 360 species of coral, 600 species of fish and 13 species of dolphins and whales Read the factsheet again Answer the questions How are coral reefs formed?
