offers six pages of vocabulary and grammar practice, covering language students have seen in the previous level In the Starter level, students are given a brief overview of basic language they may have seen at primary level, before beginning the main syllabus in Unit Main units Each main unit is divided as follows: Presentation pages Vocabulary page Grammar page Communication page Grammar page Skills pages The exercises in the Language focus section familiarize students with the language of the unit, without requiring them to manipulate it In Starter and Level 1, students focus on the target language in relation to specific scenes and sections of dialogue from the photostory; in Levels and 3, students find phrases and structures in the presentation text and use them to complete sentences or captions about the text Finally, Focus on you and Pairwork activities give students the chance to try out the new language in a personalized context, following carefully controlled models Vocabulary Presentation The presentation text on the left-hand page exposes students to the theme, grammar, vocabulary, and functions of the unit The exercises on the right-hand page allow students to interact with the dialogue in more detail, encouraging them to explore, use, and personalize new language before it is formally presented and practised on the Vocabulary and Grammar pages In the Starter level and Level 1, the text is a dialogue presented in a photostory format The photostories reflect the aspirations of the students, using familiar contexts to motivate and engage them Each unit focuses on a different episode in the lives of the central characters In the Starter level, the story takes place in a performing arts school and follows the fortunes of a new student, Holly Holly is happy to be at her new school and quickly makes friends, but she also finds that she has a rival who wants to prevent her from achieving her dreams The story culminates in the production of a school musical, where Holly finally wins the lead role In Level 1, we follow the story of Sam Sam loves basketball, but he is having problems with poor marks in his other school subjects As he faces a moral dilemma, he is helped by a friend to make the right choice, and in the end everything works out for the best In Levels and 3, the emphasis is on texts dealing with individual topics of a more grown-up nature, in recognition of the fact that students, along with their interests and tastes, mature very quickly during the teenage years A variety of formats and genres is used, including dialogues, magazine articles, and web pages Following on from the presentation text, students complete a series of questions to check basic comprehension The Check it out! feature draws students’ attention to useful colloquial expressions in the dialogue This page presents and practices a set of vocabulary items associated with the unit topic and previewed in the presentation lesson Look! boxes contain useful tips and draw attention to potential pitfalls, including spelling rules, exceptions or irregular forms, collocations, and notes about English usage Students once again have the opportunity for guided speaking practice with a Pairwork activity at the end of the lesson At the foot of the Vocabulary page students are directed to the Student’s Website and the Workbook, where there is further practice of the unit vocabulary Grammar Underlying the methodology of Champions 2nd edition is the conviction that students understand and remember rules better if they work them out for themselves As a result, a guided discovery approach to teaching grammar is adopted throughout the series Each unit has two Grammar lessons A grammar chart models the form of the key structures, using examples taken from the presentation text that opens the unit Having already experimented with the new structures earlier in the unit, students are then encouraged to reflect on correct usage in more detail A cross-reference to Rules directs the students to a grammar reference page in the corresponding Workbook unit, where detailed explanations and examples are given The activities on the page provide thorough and detailed practice of both form and usage, moving from carefully controlled exercises to more demanding production Grammar pages have optional Finished? activities which are designed as a fun way of providing extension work for fast finishers Grammar pages also often feature a Game that encourages personalized practice in a less formal context At the end of each Grammar page students are directed to the Student’s Website and the Workbook, where there is further practice © Copyright Oxford University Press 4004695 CHAMP 2e TB1.indb Introduction 04/11/2014 11:27 Communication One page in every unit focuses on everyday English Conversational language is presented in the form of a dialogue which reviews the vocabulary and grammar from the previous lessons In a similar way to the Language focus lesson on page of the unit, Communication lessons allow students to explore and use a new structure before they move on to more formal practice on the subsequent Grammar page The Learn it, use it! feature summarizes the target language in the dialogue, while a Pronunciation activity draws students’ attention to a specific sound or a relevant aspect of intonation The students then listen to this language in different contexts before practising it themselves in the Pairwork activity At the end of each Communication page students are directed to the Student’s Website and the Workbook, where there is further practice Skills The last two pages of the unit contain targeted skills work designed to equip students with the necessary strategies to build confidence and competence in each individual skill Skills lessons also provide a way of consolidating and recycling the language students have studied throughout the unit, whilst exploring different aspects of the unit topic Reading texts deal with the main topic of the unit in a factual way using real-life contexts Comprehension exercises typically start with a skimming or scanning activity, followed by more detailed questions that gradually increase in difficulty as the series progresses Listening activities extend the topic of the text A variety of activity formats is used to help students develop wellrounded listening comprehension skills The Speaking and Writing sections give students the opportunity to respond to the unit topic with their own ideas To help students to organize their ideas, both sections usually begin with a written preparation stage The aim is to strike a balance between giving clear, guided models on the page on the one hand, and allowing students freedom to express themselves and experiment with newly-acquired vocabulary and structures on the other Review units After every two main units there is a two-page Review unit comprising: Vocabulary and Grammar review and My Progress page Culture club reading page The first half of each Review unit covers the main vocabulary and grammar points from the previous two units The My Progress chart is a self-assessment chart correlated to the Common European Framework of Reference It is very motivating for students to reflect on their progress and this type of activity is also very helpful in encouraging students to take responsibility for their own learning 6 Introduction 4004695 CHAMP 2e TB1.indb Most teenagers are curious to know what life is like for their peers in other parts of the world Culture club reading lessons give a factual account of different aspects of the English-speaking world from a young person’s perspective The Focus on you section at the end of the lesson invites a personal response from students in the form of a piece of writing Curriculum extra There are three cross-curricular reading and project lessons in the Student’s Book, providing one page of material for each block of two units The Curriculum extra lessons link to the themes of the corresponding Student’s Book units, as well as to subjects that students typically study in their own language, such as geography, science, music, literature, PE, and history Each of the lessons concludes with a project that synthesizes the language focus and the content of the cross-curricular theme and gives students the opportunity to develop their creativity The projects can be done in class or assigned for homework Depending on time available and the needs of the students, the projects can be done in groups, pairs, or individually Workbook The Workbook section contains six five-page units of extra practice of the language and skills taught in the Student’s Book The Workbook exercises can be completed in class or for homework The first page of each Workbook unit summarizes the grammar structures introduced in the corresponding Student’s Book unit with comprehensive charts and detailed grammar notes The following two pages provide extra vocabulary and grammar practice The last two pages provide additional practice to accompany the Student’s Book Communication lesson, and further reading and writing practice Student’s Website The Student’s Website includes interactive practice of the Vocabulary, Grammar and Communication sections, a Text builder activity, and a fun Web quest for each unit of the Student’s Book For each Student’s Book unit there are eight Grammar activities and two Vocabulary activities, and a Communication exercise with audio There is also a Text builder activity for each unit of the Student’s Book which requires students to fill in missing words from a reading text to rebuild the text These activities are automatically marked A guided Web quest for each Student’s Book unit encourages students to search for information relating to the topic of the Student’s Book on the Internet using their English Champions 2nd edition e-cards allow students to create and send cards to their friends with messages in English and Champions 2nd edition wallpapers enable students to personalize their electronic devices © Copyright Oxford University Press 04/11/2014 11:27 Teacher’s Book The Teacher’s Book contains detailed lesson notes and answers for all the Student’s Book and Workbook material Each Teacher’s Book unit starts with a summary of the areas of grammar, vocabulary, communication, skills, and topical themes covered in the Student’s Book unit These themes relate to values and responsible citizenship, such as: • ethics and morals • society, including the themes of respect, solidarity, and justice • multiculturalism, including anthropology, human rights, cultural studies, sociology, and historical, geographical, legal, and ethical perspectives • the environment, including protecting the environment, and natural cycles • work and consumerism, including mass communication, advertising, sales, workers’ rights, and consumer rights • health The notes include a description of the aim of every exercise in the Student’s Book, followed by detailed instructions and answers There are also suggestions for Warm-up activities, and Extra activities that can be used to extend the Student’s Book content according to the needs and abilities of each class The Student’s Book is full of factual information and references to the real world The teaching notes provide support for this by giving additional notes and cultural facts in the Background notes Teenage students have an insatiable interest in music and popular culture, and the use of songs to consolidate the linguistic and topical content of the Student’s Book can be an effective way of motivating students The teaching notes for each Review unit include suggestions for suitable songs that can be exploited for this purpose The songs have been chosen because of their lexical, grammatical, or thematic link to the corresponding units See page for suggestions on how to exploit songs in class The review tests focus on vocabulary and grammar, and reading, writing, and listening skills Each test is scored out of 100 points Regular assessment makes it easier to monitor students’ progress Teachers can keep a record of individual students’ progress using the evaluation chart on page 12 Grammar and vocabulary Grammar help and Vocabulary help worksheets for each unit

challenging practice for the more able students Reading and writing There is one reading and writing worksheet per unit, helping students to develop their skills and confidence in these areas Pairwork There is one pairwork worksheet per unit, giving oral practice of the grammar and vocabulary of the corresponding unit Puzzles and games One page of puzzles is included for each unit, and two board games for each level of the series Although these resources give practice of the main grammar and vocabulary of the unit, the emphasis is on fun activities, such as crosswords, wordsearches, and code breakers Practice test for Cambridge ESOL examinations The Teacher’s Website includes a practice test for KET and a practice test for PET Class Audio CD The Class Audio CD is for classroom use There

there are six unit tests and three review tests All tests have A and B versions to help prevent cheating The tests can be opened using Microsoft® Word and edited before printing The unit tests include vocabulary and grammar questions, dialogue work, and a writing task Each test is scored out of 50 points © Copyright Oxford University Press 4004695 CHAMP 2e TB1.indb Introduction 04/11/2014 11:27 • Correct the mistakes Include some incorrect words or Classroom management An English-speaking environment • Use English for classroom instructions as often as you • can, and ask students to use English as well For example: Open your books at page 10 Let’s look at exercise Raise your hand Work in pairs Ask your partner, etc Students should be encouraged to use expressions such as: How you say … in English? How you spell …? I don’t understand Please can you repeat that? Can you say that more slowly, please? Can we listen to that again, please? Can I go to the toilet? • • • Managing large classes Large classes are easier to manage if you establish routines such as: • Write a plan of the day’s activities on the board • Make sure that everyone understands the task before they start Give clear examples and ask students to provide a few as well • Set time limits for all activities and remind students of time limits, for example: You have two minutes left • Walk around the class, monitoring while students work • Get to know your students’ personalities and learning styles so that you can maximize their potential in class • Allow stronger students to help weaker students while ensuring that there is always an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding Group and pairwork The interaction from working in small groups or in pairs is vital in a language classroom, and students quickly get used to what to expect Here are some tips for organizing group work in large classes: • Do not have more than five students per group • Set up group activities quickly by allocating students with a letter (A, B, C, etc.) Students form groups with other students who have the same letter • Demonstrate tasks with one pair or group at the front of the class • Set a time limit and keep reminding students of it Songs There are many ways in which songs can be exploited in class, including the following suggestions: • Gap-fill There are many variations of this type of activity, in which students are given the lyrics with certain key words deleted To make it easier for students, the missing words can be grouped together in a wordpool As students read the lyrics, they try to fill in the gaps, then they listen and check If you wish to make the activity more challenging, you could add extra words to the wordpool as distracters, or not provide the missing words at all It is important to choose the gapped words carefully, however, both so that they are audible, and so that students can guess from the context which word makes most sense in each gap 8 Introduction 4004695 CHAMP 2e TB1.indb • information in the lyrics Ask students to identify where the mistakes are and replace them with the correct words, before they listen to the song to check their answers Choose the correct alternative At regular points in the lyrics, students have to choose between two or more alternative words or phrases to complete the lyrics correctly Students then listen and check Put the verses in the correct order This activity works especially well with songs that tell a story Students are given the verses in the wrong order, and they have to guess the correct order before listening to the song Match rhyming words Many songs are structured so that alternating lines end with rhyming words, and this provides an excellent opportunity to work on different sounds One useful activity is to give students the lyrics with the lines of each verse jumbled Students then attempt to unjumble the lines, according to which lines rhyme with each other, before listening to the song to check their ideas Another variation is for students to choose between two alternatives to end each line This could mean choosing the word that provides the best rhyme, for example, or the word that makes most sense in the context Match words to definitions Songs often contain informal expressions, idioms, and ‘untidy’ grammar With stronger groups it can be useful to have students try to match difficult words and expressions to definitions or explanations Alternatively, where lyrics feature more standard items of vocabulary, students could work together in groups to find the words in a dictionary and agree on a definition Feedback It is important for students to have a sense of how they have performed Provide feedback while you are monitoring activities Alternatively, you can assess an exercise afterwards with the whole class: students can put up their hands to indicate how many answers they shared in pairs or groups, how hard or easy the task was, etc Encourage students to behave well using a points system Award points to pairs or groups that not make too much noise Deduct points from pairs or groups that are too noisy or who are not speaking in English Suggestions for further reading General reference Oxford Essential Dictionary – New Edition Practical English Usage – 3rd Edition by Michael Swan Grammar Oxford English

can write the names of the objects on the board and rub them off In groups, give students two minutes to memorize what is on the tray or board Remove an object and ask students to write down the missing object Continue until the tray or board is empty Check the answers with the class The group with all the objects in the correct order is the winner Simon Says Call out commands to the class If your command is preceded by ‘Simon says’, students must obey the instruction If it is not, they must ignore it For example: Simon says stand up (students stand up) Sit down (students remain standing) Students who get it wrong are out of the game This activity is good primarily for practising imperatives, but is also useful for practising vocabulary With a strong class, you could let a student call out the commands Bingo Tell each student to draw a grid of six squares and refer them to the vocabulary page(s) you have just worked on Give them a few moments to memorize the words and pictures in the vocabulary set Books closed, students then draw or write a vocabulary item in each square Call out vocabulary items from the set If the students have drawn pictures, call out the words in English If students have written the English words, you can call them out in their L1 With a strong class you could read out definitions and get students to work out the word When a student hears a word he or she has drawn or written, they must cross it out When all six vocabulary items are crossed out, the student can call out Bingo The first to call out Bingo wins the game Hangman Choose a word or phrase Write a gap for each letter of the word on the board Separate words with a clear space or slash, e.g I lived in Paris _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ Students guess which letters appear in the words Each student can call out just one letter If the letter is contained in the word, or phrase, write it in the appropriate place(s), e.g for the letter ‘i’: I / _ i _ _ _ / i _ / _ _ _ i _ If a student calls out a letter that isn’t in the word or phrase, write it on the board and draw one line of the hangman 20 Questions This can be played on the board with the whole class, in small groups, or in pairs One student chooses a secret identity, e.g that of a celebrity Other students must guess the identity by asking a maximum of 20 questions The student may only answer with short Yes / No answers, e.g Yes, I am No, I don’t, etc The game can be used to practise questions and answers in a variety of different tenses Chinese Whispers This game is excellent for practising pronunciation It can be played as a whole class or in small groups of at least six Put students in a line or circle Write a sentence on a piece of paper and give it to the first student They should read it silently, but not show it to anyone else The student then whispers the sentence to the person on their left, and so on The game continues until the last student whispers the sentence in the first student’s ear The first student then tells the whole group / class what he or she heard, and then reads out the original sentence Is it the same? © Copyright Oxford University Press 4004695 CHAMP 2e TB1.indb
