Introducing Harmonize

Harmonize is a new six-level lower secondary English language

course Its unique methodology with integrated projects

provides opportunities for students to use language in a real-life

context and work collaboratively towards project outputs and

presentations The availability of six levels allows for flexible entry

and exit, based on each school’s needs The key course features,

which include engaging videos in every unit, Project Logs,

Culture 360° pages and Online Practice, enhance students’

language-learning experiences Project work is supported through

the Project coach videos.

Material in Harmonize employs the latest research in second

language acquisition, and incorporates feedback from

practising teachers.

Harmonize key values

Transform your classroom into a collaborative

learning environment

Harmonize integrates projects into every unit, motivating students

to work together towards a common goal and learn language and

skills they can apply to other contexts Projects give students the

opportunity to develop skills beyond language learning for lifelong

success, with tasks that encourage mediation, communication

and collaboration

Spark students’ creativity as they research, develop

and deliver their projects

Students define the direction of their project work, creating unique

projects that are shaped by their own values, interests and creative

skills The Project Builders provide step-by-step project tasks

throughout the unit, encouraging students to build their project in

manageable stages.

The Project Log provides a unique, fun and creative space for

students to develop ideas, reflect on their projects, celebrate their

successes, and evaluate their progress.

Connect learning with the world outside the classroom

with meaningful topics, tasks and videos.

Project tasks help students communicate in English in real-life

contexts Through their project work, students explore languages

and other cultures whilst developing respect for difference and

diversity Students present their final projects in a variety of formats

such as a poster, blog, video, or web page.

Content-rich texts and videos, including the Project coach, provide

students with relevant real-world content and realistic language

models which keep them engaged with their learning

Online Practice helps students to become competent

autonomous learners by providing them with online skills practice

and activities to complete in their own time

Harmonize methodology

Integrated project methodology

Harmonize has an integrated project methodology, which is a

student-centred form of learning that involves students exploring

and attempting to solve real-life problems Project-based learning

is an important vehicle for the development of global skills for the

21st century, including digital literacies.

The projects in Harmonize contain a number of essential elements,

including:

• A challenging problem or question

• Audience-facing output task

• Key knowledge and skills

• Sustained inquiry

• Authenticity

• Student voice

• Reflection

• Critique and revision

The advantages of a project-integrated approach

Harmonize aims to capture students’ imaginations and inspire

learning with project-based learning and real-world topics A high level of engagement is achieved when learners find project goals meaningful and relatable, and this can in turn lead to deeper levels of learning Outcomes include improved language skills, transferable project skills, and much better retention of learning

How the project-integrated approach works

in Harmonize

In each of the eight main units, students work in small groups

towards a final project Each lesson culminates in a Project Builder task, recorded in the Workbook Project Log, which builds towards

the final project presentation The language systems (vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation) are not taught in isolation, but through the four skills as students work through the projects This empowers students to communicate with confidence and inspires them to take responsibility for their own learning

The syllabus has been developed across all six levels in consultation with teachers so that teachers can choose the entry level to the course based on students’ learning needs.

Skills development

Skills work is supported in Harmonize through a strong focus on

strategies Skill UP! sections give detailed information on specific

strategies, providing students with tips to help them apply these strategies inside and outside the classroom In addition to the

Skill UP! strategies for Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing,

there are also Video focus tips for working with video, Life skills, and Project skills tips to help students with their final presentation

of their project work.

Vocabulary

Each unit of Harmonize has two core vocabulary sets, which are

generally topic-based In addition, there are functional language phrases on the Speaking pages and additional Key phrases in the Project spreads at the end of each unit These elements make up the ‘core vocabulary’ for all students to learn.

For students who can cope with a more extensive vocabulary list, there are Extra vocabulary sets in some units These may come from the unit opener vlog, or reading or listening texts, and are also practised in the Workbook.

The two core vocabulary sets are presented in context on the Student Book page and followed up with practice tasks.

The Language summary pages in the Workbook list all core and

extra vocabulary from the units.

The Workbook has additional graded vocabulary practice in each unit, and the review pages provide cumulative practice of the grammar and vocabulary from the unit through exam-style tasks

Worksheets for vocabulary practice at three levels (Basic, Standard

and Challenge) are available on Oxford Hub.

Trang 10

Listening is an important part of language development and

can help improve oral production Harmonize gives students

opportunities to practise listening in a realistic way Four of the eight listening lessons are video-based, so students can watch and listen as they would in real life There is a variety of video genres, including vlogs, TED-talk style videos and documentaries

In addition to this, four of the listening lessons are based around listening extracts.

Each unit has:

• a video or listening comprehension on the Listening pages

• two other videos per unit, on the Warm-up page and Speaking lessons.

These provide lots of opportunities for students to practise their listening skills as they work through the projects.

Speaking

Speaking activities in Harmonize provide students with many

opportunities to practise accuracy and fluency and to develop

their competence in linguistic communication The Warm-up page presents the unit topic through a vlog and encourages students to

activate language connected to the topic and project Throughout the course, discussion tasks require students to give their own

opinion on a subject, or to relate a personal experience Think tasks

give students an opportunity to discuss in pairs and apply critical

thinking skills The Project Builders offer opportunities for students

to practise the language they have learned while developing their project ideas.

The Speaking pages present and practise useful functional

language from everyday contexts The functional language is

modelled in context in the drama video first before students are guided through a range of tasks

Pronunciation tips also feature at different points in four of the

units and focus on specific sounds, word stress, sentence stress and intonation.

Eight communicative Speaking pairwork worksheets in the Teacher’s Resource Materials offer additional speaking practice with practical outcomes.

Writing

There is one page in every unit devoted to guided Writing activities

Writing tasks cover a variety of text types, such as emails, articles, video scripts and reports, which relate to the unit project A model text provides a clear example of structure and uses target language from the unit The model text also exemplifies a language point, such as time expressions, conjunctions or punctuation The Writing

Skill UP! also gives specific tips to aid writing skills The writing

page Project Builder includes a carefully staged writing task that links to the final project The Project Log provides a writing task

Planner and a space for students to draft their writing.

The Writing workshop pages in the Workbook also use a model

text, useful language and a carefully staged Writing task to allow students to practise writing a number of different genres The

Online Practice contains further Writing tasks.

Blended learning

Learning materials in Harmonize are provided in a variety of formats

This is to cater for the wide range of learning needs modern teachers are faced with and ensures maximum flexibility with regard to presentation and practice options Lesson presentations

can be teacher-led in class using the Classroom Presentation

Tool, or students can investigate content at home before the

lesson via the Student Book e-book and Workbook e-book, or use the Online Practice for further practice after the lesson

Mediation is integrated in the course through targeted practice in the Student Book.

Grammar

The approach to grammar in Harmonize is based on the Oxford

English Learning Framework (OxELF) grammar syllabus, which

recommends at which level to teach each grammar point for

the first time, ensuring that grammar acquisition is accessible

to learners

Each unit of Harmonize has two main grammar points New

structures appear in context in a reading or listening text so

that the teacher can follow a guided discovery approach to

grammar Teachers can also present the new structure using

the Grammar animation or Powerpoint presentation on the

Classroom Presentation Tool

The grammar explanation can be reinforced through the inductive

grammar rules on the page, followed by short contextualized tasks

Expanded grammar tables, explanations and further essential

practice can be found in the Grammar reference section at the

back of the Student Book Students are also encouraged to practise

the grammar more freely in the Project Builder tasks

The Workbook has additional graded grammar practice in each

unit, and the review page provides cumulative practice of the

grammar and vocabulary from the unit via exam-style tasks

Grammar tables are also included in the Language summary

pages in the Workbook

Worksheets for grammar practice at three levels (Basic, Standard

and Challenge) are available on Oxford Hub

Video

Video is integral to Harmonize There are two or three videos in

the main Student Book unit The unit begins with the vlog on the

Warm-up page, which introduces students to the topic and some

key vocabulary In four of the eight Listening lessons in the Student

Book, there is a video offering listening comprehension practice

through a range of engaging vlogs, presentations and dialogues –

reflecting the way modern teenagers listen and watch in real life

The Video focus feature in these lessons encourages students to

consider the different ways in which effective videos are made The

video on the Speaking page engages students with an episode

featuring recurring characters and introduces key functional

language.

Reading

Harmonize includes a wide range of text types, including articles,

web pages, stories, emails and interviews All texts are carefully

graded and engage students in a realistic way Reading texts are

used in different ways throughout the book:

• To preview and recycle grammar: the main text in each unit is

used to preview the new grammar points, increase students’

exposure to recently presented vocabulary and sometimes

preview new vocabulary.

• To develop reading strategies: the Skill UP! presents a reading

strategy tip to help students build reading skills and is followed

by a relevant practice activity.

• To practise reading skills: a wide variety of comprehension

activities accompany each text along with further

comprehension practice in the Online Practice.

Shorter texts appear throughout the course to recycle and practise

grammar and vocabulary, to provide a writing sample and to set

the context for listening or speaking tasks.

To help students with reading, look at the background information

notes in the Teacher’s Guide so that you can pre-teach vocabulary

if necessary, and pre-empt any difficulties The Reading lesson

in the Workbook provides further practice of the Skill UP!,

comprehension exercises, and contains examples of the

unit grammar Further reading tasks are also included in the

Online Practice.

Trang 11

How to do project work

Harmonize has project work at the heart of its approach to

language learning In each unit, the language input and practice

contributes to five project stages (Project Builders 1–5), and the

final project lesson of each unit brings all the project work together

– usually in a group presentation The Project Builders encourage

groups to be cooperative, creative and inclusive of ideas and

are carefully constructed to make the final project presentation

achievable and engaging There is an in-built flexibility that

allows the projects to be relevant and productive in all classroom

situations, but it is true to say that managing project work in the

classroom is not always straightforward.

Setting up project groups

We recommend that projects are completed in groups of three

students They are designed so that, in one unit, the same group

of students works on the five Project Builders and the final

presentation together There are eight projects in the book so the

teacher is able to organize students into groups in different ways

The teacher can learn from the successes of student groups from

one unit to the next It’s useful to have a close look at the nature of

the unit project before deciding how to group students.

Student choice or teacher choice?

The teacher can try both It’s important for students to learn to

work effectively with a range of people, whether it is with their

close friends or others It’s good to learn to overcome distractions

and be productive when working with friends, but choosing

groups randomly can be a good option too It may be necessary

to stress to the students the importance of learning to work in a

successful group and that the skills required for success can be

very different to completing work individually Through the course,

students will develop a range of skills such as negotiation, listening

skills, cooperation, and constructive criticism, and it is useful for

them to be aware of this at the outset.

Group by ability?

A group with different abilities in it can often work well, especially

if the project requires a broad range of creative skills that are not

heavily dependent on linguistic ability But the teacher will need

to make sure that a strong student does not dominate the project

group, and that all students partake equally.

Sometimes it is useful to group students by similar ability levels

Stronger students working together can push each other to

challenge themselves and create a higher level of work A group

of weaker students can benefit from the support of a teacher

more easily.

Group by interests?

For some projects, especially those that rely on strong personal

opinions or tastes, it may work well to group students by interests

Otherwise, if students have vastly differing interests it may make it

difficult to agree on topics and it could end up with some students

becoming disengaged.

Assigning roles?

The projects will make it clear what is expected of each group

and the roles they might take It is useful, however, for each group

to have a project monitor or coordinator who is responsible for

making sure that the group work is completed at each stage and

the Project Logs are also completed They could also be responsible

for keeping an eye on the time during tasks.

The teacher should keep in mind that groups do not always work

well together It is sometimes worth changing a group, even after a

few lessons Swapping some students may improve the experience

Organizing group work in the classroomHow long should the project work take?

The Project Builders vary but the expectation is that the project work should be done in around 15 minutes, typically, at the end of

a lesson The final project lesson is likely to take a whole lesson, with some of the presentations perhaps taking place in a subsequent lesson Before students start their group work, it is important

to make sure they are clear about their task and how long they have The teacher could give them some tips on using their time effectively Some Project Builders involve small amounts of research

to be done individually outside the classroom Students need to know that it is important to do this work and to come to each lesson prepared so that their group can progress with the project.

Should students always speak English?

This will depend on the level of the students and also the demands

of the task There may be times when the practical aspects of the project are much easier to organize in the students’ own language

Most of the Project Builders expect the use of English because language from the lesson should also be activated In the final project lesson of each unit, there is always a focus on specific functional language which enables students to carry out their work as a group.

What should the teacher do during project work?

The teacher should use the time to circulate from group to group

They should ensure that groups are focused on the task It may be necessary to encourage some of the quieter students to take part and make sure that more confident students are taking ideas from the whole group The teacher should find opportunities to praise individuals and teams on both the content of their work and their approach to teamwork From time to time, it may be useful to stop the class to draw attention to exemplary work from one of the groups that the rest of the class may find useful It may even be useful to stop all the groups except for one so the class can observe some good examples of collaboration in a particular group.

Feedback and output stages

The teacher should try to build in a feedback stage after the final project lesson so that the groups can share any aspects of their work that went well By the end of the unit, students will have put

a lot of work into their projects, so it is recommended that the teacher allows time for each group to present their work and for students to critically appraise each other’s work.

Trang 12

Assessment for learning

• It allows teachers to teach more inclusively By providing more tailored support to individual students, teachers can feel more confident that no one is being left behind.

• It enables colleagues to support each other Assessment for learning offers a consistent approach which teachers and their colleagues can implement collaboratively.

How can I implement Assessment for learning

in my teaching?

Effective implementation of Assessment for learning is grounded in three key classroom practices: diagnostics (where the learner is), learning objectives (what the learner needs to learn next), and success criteria (what success looks like) These practices are interrelated and, together, lay the foundations for effective feedback.

The next section explains the three key practices in more detail.

Diagnostics

To be able to provide effective feedback, teachers need to find out what students already know and can do Teachers can gather this evidence through classwork and homework activities, including those that incorporate peer and self-assessment.

For instance, after a speaking activity, students could assess their own and each other’s performance using a set of can-do statements This, combined with the teacher’s assessment, can reveal what students are already doing well and highlight specific areas for improvement.

Classroom dialogue can also provide valuable insights into students’ understanding and there are a number of ways to maximize its potential as a diagnostic tool These include:

• short warmer activities.

• asking students open questions that require deeper reflection.

• allowing plenty of thinking time.

• exploring their answers through follow-up questions.

• providing opportunities for them to ask questions themselves.

to present the Lesson objectives at the beginning of each lesson in

Harmonize to help with this.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

• Understand the importance of balanced diets

• Learn food vocabulary

• Talk about quantity

However, it can also be effective to wait until after an activity and then ask students to infer for themselves what skills the activity was aiming to develop, why these might be useful and how they might

be applied.

What is Assessment for learning?

Assessment for learning, also sometimes known as continuous

assessment, is an approach that builds formal and informal

assessment practices into everyday classroom activities to directly

encourage learning It is recognized by educators around the world

as a way of improving students’ performance and motivation and

promoting high-quality teaching.

Assessment for learning relies on a constant flow of information

between teachers and their students Students provide evidence

of their knowledge, understanding and skills as they engage

in learning activities Meanwhile, they receive specific and

constructive feedback on their performance and progress, which

helps them to move forward in their learning This creates an

ongoing cycle of gathering information, identifying next steps and

supporting learners to achieve the set objectives.

In an Assessment for learning approach, it does not need to be

only the teacher who gathers and interprets evidence about what

students know and can do Students are also encouraged to do

this for themselves and for each other through self-assessment and

peer assessment This helps deepen their understanding of what

they are learning, why they are learning it, and what successful

performance looks like.

The evidence gathered for Assessment for learning does not always

need to be in the form of grades or scores Often, a warm-up

activity will give quick insights that will then inform the rest of the

lesson or a teacher will offer a brief comment about a student’s

performance on a particular task It should not focus only on

aspects that students need to improve It is just as important to

highlight what students have achieved and are already doing

well It can therefore be useful to focus feedback on ‘medals’ and

‘missions’ – what they have done successfully and how they can

move their learning forward.

Once students have received feedback, they need time and

opportunities to act on it It is by putting feedback into action that

students can ‘close the gap’ between their current performance

and their desired performance So, for example, after students have

received feedback on an essay, teachers could set aside lesson time

for students to redraft their work and/or set specific goals for their

next essay.

Why is Assessment for learning useful?

For students:

• It improves attainment Receiving quality feedback has a

positive impact on students’ achievement.

• It deepens learning Students understand not only what they

are learning but also why they are learning it and what success

looks like.

• It is motivating Assessment for learning emphasizes progress

rather than failure, encouraging students to set goals, recognize

their achievements, and develop positive attitudes to learning.

• It prepares students for lifelong learning By making students

more responsible and self-aware, it equips them to learn

independently and proactively in the future.

For teachers:

• It informs teaching decisions Assessment for learning provides

valuable information about students’ needs, allowing teachers

to decide what to prioritize in their teaching.

• It develops skills and confidence Assessment for learning can

encourage more flexible and creative approaches to teaching

and give teachers a clear sense that they are helping their

Trang 13

Is Assessment for learning a new approach?

In many ways, Assessment for learning reflects what most teachers have always done in the classroom Finding out what students can do and giving them feedback are, of course, fundamental and natural aspects of good teaching However, in an Assessment for learning approach, feedback is viewed as part of a continuous cycle

of goal-setting and reflection, with each learning activity feeding into the next The Assessment for learning framework also supports you in providing feedback in a way that is systematic and inclusive.

How can teachers use Assessment for

learning with Harmonize?

Assessment for learning is compatible with different approaches

to language teaching, from grammar-based to project work The

teaching notes for Harmonize highlight opportunities for teachers

to gather information, identify next steps for students and support them to achieve the set objectives In addition, there is a Reflect task at the end of each unit of the Student Book and the Reflections Log in the Workbook, which encourage students to spend time considering skills acquired during their project work and also areas for improvement.

When we showed our interview to the class, I felt

I preferred

asking questions giving answers

In order for students to make sense of learning objectives, these

need to be linked to clear success criteria If students understand

and recognize what successful performance looks like, they will be

better able to set clear goals, make use of feedback, and measure

their own progress This Teacher’s Guide contains many useful tips

that suggest ideas about how to agree objectives and establish

success criteria for the Harmonize projects.

One useful approach is to discuss success criteria with the students

For instance, if they are learning to write a formal email, the teacher

could elicit the key features of a successful formal email and why

those features are important The teacher can then add in any key

ideas they have missed

Log it! 5 pages in the Project Log section of the Workbook provide

a reminder to students of the key features of a text that they

should include.

Invent an email address for your group

Giving and analysing examples of what good writing looks like is

another way of drawing out success criteria, and teachers can use

the model writing texts in Harmonize to help with this

Peer and self-assessment are also powerful ways of engaging

students with success criteria For example, once students have

written an email, they can send it to a classmate, who then gives

feedback based on the agreed success criteria.

How is Assessment for learning different

from other kinds of assessment?

Assessment for learning is often contrasted with assessment of

learning (also called summative assessment), which measures the

outcomes of learning by showing where students are at a given

moment in time In reality, however, the two kinds of assessment

can overlap For example, you might give your students a

summative end-of-term test to measure their achievement If you

then use their results as feedback on how they can improve, the

same test can then become a tool for Assessment for learning

Unfortunately, many homeless people must live, and often sleep, on the streets When it’s

Charity organizations say that socks are especially necessary because not many people donate them New socks are best,

but clean, used socks (with no holes!) are

also very welcome, especially in winter.

My grammar reference and practice

112

• We can answer yes/no questions with a short answer.

‘Are you going to donate some money?’ ‘Yes, I am.’

‘Are they going to volunteer to help?’ ‘No, they’re not.’

• We form wh- questions with:

Question word + am / is / are + subject + going to + verb

Wh- questions

Question word be Subject going to Verb

Where am I

going to go?

When is he / she / it arrive?

What are you / we / they do?

• We can use both be going to and will to make predictions

about the future.

• We usually use be going to when there is some evidence

in the present to support the prediction, for example what we can see, hear, smell or feel.

There isn’t a cloud in the sky It’s going to be a lovely day.

I’m not going to finish There isn’t enough time.

• We usually use will to make predictions based on what

we believe or know.

You’ll love Australia It’s beautiful.

He won’t come He never comes to parties.

• We use the infinitive form of the verb without to after both be going to and will

Affirmative and negative: be going to Subject be going to Infinitive

without to

+ It ’s going to rain.

- I ’m not going to win this race.

Affirmative and negative: will Subject will / won’t Infinitive

without to

+ You ’ll have a great time.

- Sam won’t be late.

We often use I don’t think with be going to or

will when we are less certain about a prediction:

I think people won’t / aren’t going to drive flying cars

I’m going to visit my aunt in hospital this evening.

‘Are they going to meet us for lunch later?’ ‘Yes, they are.’

• We often use be going to with future time phrases,

e.g tomorrow, next week, tonight, next year.

I’m going to cycle to work tomorrow.

‘What are you going to do this summer?’ ‘I’m going to visit

my friends in Kenya.’

• We can also use be going to with adverbs of (definite)

frequency, e.g every day, twice a week, monthly.

I’m going to exercise every day.

• We form affirmative sentences with:

Subject + am / is / are + going to + infinitive without to

He’s / She’s / It’s ride a horse.

You’re / We’re / They’re visit friends.

• We form negative sentences with:

Subject + am / is / are + not + going to + infinitive without to

He / She / It isn’t come to the party.

You / We / They aren’t go to the library.

• We form yes/no questions with:

be + subject + going to + infinitive without to + ?

Is he / she / it

Are you / we / they go to the party?
