it assumes no prior knowledge of the skills described on the part of students or teachers A Aims and methods The course aims to review and consolidate the language and skills learnt at previous levels and to equip students for their future foreign language needs in the following areas: language skills (reading, listening, speaking and writing), grammar, vocabulary, practical skills and knowledge B Language skills The course aims to equip students with all four of the language skills at a level that will enable them to perform routine tasks at work and to successfully interact with others in a social context Reading Each unit has one main reading text In addition, there are many shorter reading passages found in different sections throughout the book There is a varied selection of reading tasks such as answering open-ended questions, true/false questions, matching headings with paragraphs, completing tables, expressing personal reactions to ideas, and working out the meaning of words The course also teaches students practical reading skills that will prove invaluable in both their future work and everyday life, such as skimming and scanning Listening Each unit has a listening text By listening to each other in oral pair work and role play activities, listening to their teacher and listening to native speakers through the accompanying CD, students learn a variety of listening skills, such as listening to and understanding instructions and information, following a conversation, completing a table while listening and answering questions after listening Speaking The course teaches students to use the most common forms of the communicative functions they are likely to need in society and the workplace Many activities in the Students’ Book and Activity Book are designed to be done orally Students practise speaking in controlled situations where the emphasis is on communication and meaning as well as accuracy Pair work is recommended for many of the activities to ensure that each student is given the maximum amount of practice Writing The course aims to equip students with practical writing skills, such as the ability to complete forms and take notes on simple messages and routine transactions Beginning with writing sentences, students progress through the course until they can write paragraphs Grammar The course aims to consolidate students’ understanding of the basic grammatical structures of English and to increase their ability to use these structures accurately, fluently and appropriately The course therefore provides a systematic review of the most essential grammatical structures These structures are revised in a graded order, which takes into account their frequency in everyday use as well as the difficulties of mastering forms and meanings Vocabulary The course provides students with both general vocabulary and specific vocabulary relevant to various practical skills The vocabulary section always relates to the topic of the unit and tries to enhance students’ knowledge of new words in the field and the correct usage of these words The course therefore provides a three-dimensional approach to vocabulary learning: firstly, it helps students to deal with lexical items in context; secondly, students have the chance to build up their own personal lexicon; and thirdly, they have plenty of opportunities to actually use vocabulary in context C Girls’ skills and knowledge The course provides students with skills and knowledge related to everyday and women’s social life such as knitting and weaving, using sewing machines and practical skills such as making clothes, embroidery and tricot etc D The components English for Starters Vocational Stream –Girls’ Series contains a Students’ Book (SB), an Activity Book (AB), a Teacher’s Book (TB) and a CD Students’ Book The SB contains the core teaching materials for classroom use It consists of twelve units, four Review sections and three sections entitled Culture and Values The sections follow a regular pattern: after every four units, there is a Culture and Values; for every three units, there is one Review section at the end of the book Activity Book The AB contains exercises that provide students with extra practice The number of units in the AB is the same as in the SB After every three units, there is a test that helps students revise what they have learned in the SB and AB At the end of the AB, there is a glossary of new words that the students will encounter in the course Teacher’s Book The TB provides advice and information about each of the twelve units It divides units into lessons and integrates SB and AB activities alternately For each lesson, the objectives are stated clearly, warm-up activities are suggested and answers and audioscripts are provided CD The CD provides all the listening passages included in the course The purpose of the CD is to provide students with correct examples of the spoken language and to develop students’ listening skills by giving them opportunities to listen to a variety of different speakers E How to teach the course Methodology Learning a language is an active process, so teaching means more than giving knowledge to the students; it also means helping them to use the language for meaningful communication Students cannot learn English only by listening to the teacher; they will learn it only by speaking and writing it themselves Schedule The SB and AB were devised keeping in mind the following schedule that suits the Vocational Stream –Girls’: 48 hrs SB (4 hrs per unit) 24 hrs AB (2 hrs per unit) hrs Review (2 hrs per review) hrs Tests (2 hrs per test) hrs Culture and Values (1 hr per page) _ 91 hrs Preparing to teach a unit Before teachers begin a new unit, they should study the Scope and Sequence page at the beginning of the SB to find out what grammar, functions, vocabulary and skills are taught in the unit Then, they must read the entire unit in the SB and AB, which will help them to see the direction and purpose of the unit Before teaching a unit, teachers should look first at the TB to see which sections should be taught together and how each unit is divided Then, they should work through the activities themselves so that they can see what the students have to and how they will get the answers The TB provides step-by-step procedures for every activity in the SB Language presentation The grammar rules that students need to learn are presented in pink boxes under the grammar section in every unit Any other new rules that students need to learn can also be found in pink boxes under the relevant section in each unit Purple boxes contain words or phrases that students need to learn and use in the corresponding activities The artwork of each page relates to the content of the page and can provide teachers with extra materials for any oral or written communication F The role of the teacher Good teachers use correct language forms and have good pronunciation They motivate students to learn by making lessons interesting and encouraging students to think for themselves Finally, good teachers provide all students with plenty of opportunities to practise language Most of the activities in the SB and AB are practice activities In a practice activity, teachers are not explaining language to the students or talking at the front of the class; they are giving students the opportunity to something with the language Therefore, after introducing the activity, the teacher is watching quietly, listening, noting problems for correction later and only interrupting if absolutely necessary Teachers may find it helpful to follow the steps below, adapting them when necessary: Setting up the activity This may mean explaining the aim of the activity or how it relates to what has gone before It may mean introducing a situation or picture that provides a context for the activity and may also mean pre-teaching some essential vocabulary that the students will need during the activity Demonstrating the activity This means showing the students by example what they have to and checking that they have understood the instructions Working in pairs This means students are thinking for themselves and using the language The teacher should observe quietly and help individuals if necessary Checking the work This means asking various students for their answers The teacher’s role is to confirm correct answers, correct mistakes, praise good work, any remedial teaching that is needed and answer questions G Learner development Learner development is an important feature of teaching Students should be encouraged to develop as independent and active learners of English, so many activities found in the SB and AB can be used to enhance student autonomy It is expected that students in the same class will often have different levels of ability in English The course therefore provides many opportunities for students with less knowledge or experience of the language to build up their knowledge and get extra practice At the same time, teachers can give more proficient students additional reading or activities to maintain their interest Many questions in the book need answers that are open-ended This is a crucial part of learner development Students can have different points of view regarding certain issues at work or in life, so many questions found in the SB and the AB have many possible answers Hence, it is the teachers’ job to let the students express themselves, only acting as guides who help students reach their own answers The review and tests sections provide extra exercises that allow students to revise the knowledge they have acquired in each unit The teacher can use these exercises as an example from which to generate more exercises with any changes they see fit to suit students’ needs H Teaching English for Specific Purposes Teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is teaching the language in specialised subjects Learners often have different purposes for learning the English language whether it be English for Economics, English for Business, English for Secretaries or English for Technicians and others A purpose-specific course is one in which the course content and methods are authentically representative of tasks in the target situation For example, an English for Technicians course presents topics and techniques that relate to a technician’s profession Such a course allows teachers to increase students’ capacity to use language in the specific purpose domain English for vocational purposes is an application of ESP according to students’ language needs for work This approach is learner oriented – not teacher oriented – with an emphasis on communicative competence Teaching ESP is more than just presenting language items or skills and strategies It is not just the content of what is learnt that is important but also the ways in which it is learnt Unit Sewing Machines Lesson One SewingMachines Machines 1Sewing Learning Objectives A Dialogue ■ ■ ■ Talking about sewing machines Demonstrating understanding of a text Identifying the relationship between a word and its definition Read the dialogue and answer the questions Instructor: Samira, please check that you have the correct tools with you when you want to sew a dress or a skirt Samira: OK Could you list them for me, please? Instructor: You’ll need a needle, a thimble, a tack thread and some solid thin pins Samira: Should I use any special kind of thread? Instructor: Sure The tack thread ought to be made of smooth light-coloured cotton Samira: How can I prevent silk and light-coloured clothes from slipping? Instructor: You can use solid thin pins to fasten them Samira: OK, thank you, sir I’ll note down everything you have just told me Instructor: That’s a good idea A Dialogue ■ Explain to the class that they are going to read a dialogue between a student and a sewing instructor ■ After they have finished reading, ask students to answer the questions individually ■ Invite volunteers to read their answers aloud Answers the correct tools; the silk and light-coloured clothes; the idea to note everything down solid thin pins light-coloured a The tack thread must be made of cotton b We use pins to fasten silk clothes Questions What the words in bold refer to? What we use to fasten silk clothes? Do we use dark-coloured tack threads or light-coloured ones? Correct the following statements so that they are true a The tack thread must be made of wool b We use pins to fasten woollen clothes Lesson Two Audioscript Learning Objective ■ Discussing different sewing machines and techniques B Listening ■ Tell the students that they are going to listen to someone talking about different sewing machines ■ Before you play the recording, ask the students to read the gapped text ■ Tell them to listen for the information they need to complete the text and not to worry about other details ■ Tell them that you are going to play the recording twice The first time, they should listen but not write anything Upon the second listening, they should complete the blanks ■ When the students have listened to the recording twice and have completed the task, ask them to check their answers in pairs ■ Then take responses from individual students reporting back to the whole class A sewing machine is an obvious requirement for a dressmaker Sewing machines are of different kinds The most important kinds are: Machines which sew only with a straight stitch, but this may be forward or backwards Machines with a sewing needle which makes a zigzag stitch Machines with a sewing needle which can also sew embroidery patterns The straight stitch machine has a special zipper foot which enables the operator to get up close to the zipper teeth The zigzag stitch machine saves a great deal of time in making edges, and may also be used for attaching lace and making buttonholes Answers dress maker only backwards zigzag embroidery Activity Book page exercise 8 10 11 12 straight stitch foot teeth lace button Creative and Critical Thinking Activities Here are ten creative and stimulating activities to use as warmups or time-fillers that will energise and stimulate the minds of students: Whip-Around: The group sits in a circle The leader offers a topic, then, quickly going around the circle, each group member offers the first answer that comes to mind (Participants may pass if they can’t think of anything to say) Sample starting topics: The best way to describe me is The thing(s) I best is/are I dislike more than anything else What I hope for most in my life is The place I would most like to visit is My favourite food is I wish The colour that would describe my mood (or personality) is Word Wizards: Put a word phrase on the board In groups, students try to think of as many words as possible that can be made from some of the letters in the word phrase (Sample: High School, cool, go, ) Pivotal Person: The group sits in a circle Inside the circle, two desks are placed facing each other On one desk, the leader sits, roleplaying as a character of his or her choice (Explain beforehand what role you will play Some ideas include a dishonest bank teller, a rude sales clerk, a newscaster conducting an interview, a waiter/waitress, etc) Then a volunteer sits on the opposite chair and interacts with the “pivotal person.” The two exchange unscripted dialogue while the group watches When someone else feels comfortable, he/she comes to stand beside the classmate sitting at the second desk The action then stops, the person beside whom the volunteer stood now leaves his/her desk, the new volunteer takes his/her place and the action continues After a few minutes, the leader may step out and offer the role of “pivotal person” to a volunteer who may entirely change the role A Way With Words: Students sit in a circle The teacher passes a blank sheet of paper to the first student player Player “reads” what is on the paper It could be a “Dear John” letter, a summons to court, a party invitation, etc It will be up to each individual to invent a unique purpose for that piece of paper As the paper goes around the circle, it will become more and more difficult for each group member to think of a new way to “read” the paper Pass-It: One person in a circle begins by throwing an imaginary object in a manner that suggests its characteristics: feather-light, bulky, hot, cold, prickly, slippery, microscopic, sticky, heavy and so on The recipient would react by “catching” the object according to its “size,” change its “size” and “throw” it to another classmate so that that person will know its “size” and so on around the circle Which Doesn’t Belong? Students are given four words or pictures They must determine which one doesn’t belong in the group If given crab, octopus, whale and dog, students could have many different answers One student could say that octopus is the odd word because it takes es in the plural form Another student could say that a dog lives on land, while the others live in the sea There are many solutions as long as students can back up their answer Analogies They are excellent for helping students understand the relationship between two words Students are given three words The first two words are related After students figure out the relationship between the first two words, they supply a fourth word which is related to the third word in the same way as the first two words are related An easy example for second language learners is: Apple: red – banana: What’s Right? This activity provides students with four sentences Students have to figure out which sentence is correct An example using math terms: All rectangles are squares All parallelograms are rectangles All squares are rhombuses All quadrilaterals are parallelograms 60 Something’s Wrong Here! This task gives students a chance to find the missing information and correct it The book suggests giving a series of statements with an incorrect fact Teachers should only provide second language learners a sentence or two It will be easier for second language learners to focus on a single sentence An example: Jupiter is the largest object in the solar system 10 Your Order Please! It provides students with a series of events that are in scrambled order For second language learners, the teacher should introduce this activity with the words first, next, then and last As students understand how these words help organise the sentences, they should be removed and students would have to order the events without the help of these keywords After students have correctly ordered the events, they should read the sentences by inserting the key signal words back into the sentences Advanced students can be given five sentences where one sentence doesn’t belong Review Answer Key Review (Units 1-3) A Put the correct word in the right place furs vines bone seamstresses F What would you ask?
