(Food) Bells and Breaks (School) World of Wonders (Books and films) Have a Nice Holiday (Hobbies and holidays) • The units are supplemented with ‘Reading for Pleasure’ texts, which have an emo tional and moral message for Ss • The coursebook also contains tests – one for each unit • There are four projects in the coursebook, one in each term • The coursebook has been designed to cover the three hours per week programme In • • • • • • • • • case the school has only two hours of English per week, the flexible structure of the book enables the teacher to omit some of the coursebook materials without under mining the integrity of the coursebook The sections to be omitted in this case are: reading for pleasure, tests, projects and one lesson in each unit (The recommended lessons are: Unit 1, lesson 8; Unit 2, lesson 8; Unit 3, lesson ; Unit 4, lesson 8: Unit 5, lesson 9; Unit 6, lesson 9; Unit 7, lesson 9; Unit 8, lesson 9; Unit 9, lesson 9) The coursebook will then cover the two hours per week programme The Teacher’s Book (TB) opens with the Student’s Book (SB) unit maps which present the content of the SB and helps to orient the teacher Each unit is preceded with unit objectives – what Ss should have achieved by the end of the unit The TB presents the syllabus, followed by lesson maps and lesson briefs Each lesson map contains a box with the four main aims of the lesson – practical, educational, developmental and instructional The map also includes two other boxes: 1) Focus box and 2) Materials and Preparation box The Focus box gives the teacher information on the main focus of the lesson – the communicative area, grammar or vocabulary The Materials and Preparation box highlights the main materials and preparation tips for each lesson The large and detailed Procedure box contains notes on the lesson stages and the suggested timing for each stage, states the aims and classroom management mode of each activity Lesson briefs are not detailed lesson plans They only comment on those stages of the lesson, which could present difficulties either for the teacher or for the stu dent In the lesson briefs we give advice on how to deal with the most difficult moments of the lesson, suggest variations of lesson activities, give keys, tape scripts and suggested answers The lesson briefs for Unit are more detailed than those for the rest of the book It is done to give the teacher all the support and help possible with the new book and to enable the teacher to get accustomed to the way the SB materials are treated in the TB We recommend all teachers – both beginners and experienced ones – to make use of the TB materials while preparing for a lesson as they are very important for getting the best use of the book Failure to refer to the lesson maps or lesson briefs might mean that some highly significant message of the coursebook could be overlooked and its value undermined The Student’s Book (SB) also contains an overview of the syllabus – the content map It contains materials for lessons, conveniently presented on double pages; reading for pleasure texts, project pages, a glossary of active vocabulary and a grammar appendix The Activity Book is black and white It contains exercises for homework There are three exercises for each lesson in the AB The first two of them are for all students Ex.3 is meant for the most capable and motivated students and the teacher can choose whether to assign it for homework or not The Cassette contains all the listening material for the SB, including pronunciation activities, texts for listening and ‘Reading for Pleasure’ texts Skills (Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing) • Each lesson includes either listening or reading (activities on receptive skills) and ends up with speaking or writing (activities on productive skills) Listening and reading materials are not only intended for listening and reading in their own right They can also be a vehicle for introducing the new grammar or vocabulary of a lesson The wide variety of tasks for listening and reading activities helps to raise Ss’ motivation for learning English • Each reading or listening activity can be subdivided into three logical steps: Pre , While and Post stages Each of the stages has its own purpose and prepares Ss for better understanding of the text and better internalization of the input It is there fore very important to follow the order of the stages suggested in the textbook and not to omit any of them Even when reading and listening texts are used for intro ducing the new vocabulary or grammar, they are preceded by a pre listening or prereading task which familiarizes Ss with the text and enables them to the following activity better • We recommend that you stick to the time limits suggested in the lesson briefs and not spend too much time on any activities If the aim of an activity is stated as skimming, it means the Ss should the activity quickly So the teacher has to set the time limit for this activity and observe it Otherwise the skimming activity will turn into an intensive reading activity, disrupt the lesson flow and fail to develop what it was supposed to develop • Speaking activities vary as far as Ss’ participation and classroom management are concerned They can be meant for pairs, groups and whole class and can take the form of a monologue, a dialogue or a conversation Games, role play, creative tasks make lessons interesting • Writing is both creative and non creative, but is almost always personalised: Ss write about themselves Sometimes writing is combined with grammar in the so called ‘grammar diary’ activity (see below) This activity is designed to help Ss internalise grammar structures better and more easily • Reading aloud is very rare Teachers should not substitute reading aloud for other reading activities as reading aloud is not communicative and hinders comprehen sion Pronunciation can be checked during speaking activities Language and Communicative Areas • The functions (communicative areas) and vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation • • • • • (language areas) were selected according to the communicative needs of Ss, the Council of Europe framework for language teaching and the Belarusian school syl labus for the lower secondary school Communicative areas are highlighted in the Focus box, Procedure box and Unit objectives They are the functions giving life to the vocabulary and structures of the textbook Pronunciation materials (including work on stress, rhythm and intonation) are recorded by native speakers They are motivating and fun The Active vocabulary of the textbook is presented in meaningful contexts with the help of visuals, definitions and listening and reading texts, which enable the stu dents to guess the meaning of the new words from the context Practice, games and communicative situations help to activate and practice the new vocabulary Grammar is approached in a new way We not start with rules First Ss are exposed to a new structure Then they analyse it formally, work out the rules for themselves and activate the structure Finally they proceed to the practice stage It is therefore highly important to follow the recommendations in the TB on how to treat grammar In the textbook there are the so called ‘Grammar Focus’ activities They are supposed to teach Ss to analyse the structure they have been exposed to and to avoid rote learning Thus grammar is treated communicatively The scheme for the communicative treatment of grammar is: communicative situation > analysis > communicative situation The Grammar Diary helps to personalise structures by passing them through the filter of Ss’ experience and feelings We recommend that Ss start a special notebook for the Grammar Chart, Grammar Diary and any grammar notes they are likely to make It is therefore advisable to ask Ss in advance to bring their grammar notebooks to school each time they are supposed to make notes or to write grammar diary entries Classroom Management • Classroom management models (whole class, group work, pair work and individual work) differ from activity to activity You should follow the recommendations in the TB as far as classroom management is concerned Teachers should not under any circumstances replace individual work, pair work or group work by whole class work • Ss must get accustomed to reading and understanding instructions themselves, without the teacher’s help It might present difficulties at the first stage, where the teacher’s support will be indispensable, but then will become easier and will definitely contribute to students’ development • Pair work and group work seem difficult to control, but they are very purposeful They relax Ss, giving them courage to speak, promote classroom cooperation, stretch STT (student talking time) and develop communicative skills It is best to vary the students in groups in order to obtain different combinations of personali ty and ability levels During a pair or group activity the teacher should move around the classroom helping or monitoring Ss’ work Error Correction and Evaluation • Tests can be done in class or at home as a progress check • Creative tasks and project work should be differently evaluated compared with other tasks • Teachers should watch for the accuracy or fluency focus in the TB briefs Some tasks, especially at the introduction and activating stages, need closer teacher control and more intervention on the part of the teacher Error correction is obligatory at these stages On the other hand, the activities, which are aimed at developing fluency and encouraging Ss to speak, should not be constantly interrupted by the teacher On the whole errors may be tolerated provided Ss show progress in eliminating them You can make a note of frequent errors and work on them in the next class • There is plenty of evidence in language acquisition research that most errors go away when the learner is ‘ready’ (i.e when he/she has properly internalised a ‘rule’ or language system) and not when the teacher wants them to go away! If you keep on drawing attention to the ‘rules’, recycling them whenever possible, your students will gradually become more accurate and fluent in English If you build up too negative and critical attitude to errors, Ss will become over anxious and reluctant to experiment with their English New Concepts • ‘Reading for Pleasure’ lessons are very specific due to the type of tasks involved • • • • • • The emphasis is not on the language – vocabulary, pronunciation or structures The texts themselves and the tasks accompanying the text are aimed at developing Ss’ taste for reading, their reading comprehension, their ability to read between the lines, Ss’ cultural and language awareness and at enlarging their passive vocabulary The texts can be read either in class or at home They are not meant for reading aloud or retelling unless it is somehow pointed out in the SB or TB Therefore fol lowing the teacher’s notes is of great importance The texts were chosen to recycle the language material learned during the unit However in the texts Ss can sometimes encounter words and structures they are not familiar with yet Do not make Ss memorise them as these words and structures are supposed to develop Ss’ passive, not active vocabulary The pronunciation of these words can be checked and corrected while Ss are working on the text and doing the tasks Encourage Ss to look the new words up in their dictionaries or to work out their meaning from the context The ‘Reading for Pleasure’ lessons provide Ss with an opportunity to the cross language comparison and analysis and to see the difference between word for word translation and real understanding of a text The ‘Reading for Pleasure’ classes are highly communicative as the language is treated not as an aim but as a vehicle for delivering the author’s message Evaluation of the Ss’ performance should be done according to their contribution to discovering the author’s message and mistakes should be tolerated The concept of ‘Project Work’ is not absolutely new to the teachers of English However, teacher’s notes on how to prepare for and how to present a project shouldn’t be neglected Ss’ effort put into their projects should be properly evaluated too Projects not have the language side only; they are made of many different components – logical organisation of the content, visual aids, presentation skills, Ss’ experience, imagination, diligence and creativity If the teacher sets to assess all these factors, they should first teach their Ss how to organise the content, how to include the visuals, how to present the project, etc Both the teacher and the students should have criteria for the evaluation of the project We can only check what has been taught Tests also check what has been taught The tests in the ‘Magic Tour’ test reading, listening and writing skills and language areas: vocabulary and grammar Speaking can be evaluated separately or as part of the project presentation Assigning and Checking Homework • Written homework exercises can be found in the AB There are three of them: ex.1 and – for all Ss and exercise – for motivated Ss However it is not the only way to provide students with homework Chants and rhymes, poems and songs learned in class can become Ss’ homework as well They can be learned by heart or used as a basis for students produced conversations, chants, poems and songs On the one hand these textbook materials are rich in active vocabulary and structures; on the other, they are motivating and fun This combination makes such homework useful and interesting Texts for reading included in the SB can serve as models for Ss’ stories, descriptions, narratives, etc Moreover an inventive teacher can think of assigning any other homework provided it is manageable for Ss and effectively sup plements the textbook materials • Written homework is checked by the teacher in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Education Any oral homework assigned by the teacher can be checked at the beginning of the class instead of, before or after the warm up activ ities suggested in the TB Teachers should never substitute checking homework for other activities for if they do, they won’t be able to cope with the textbook pace Thus, preparing for each lesson, teachers should think of the most effective and least time consuming ways of checking homework Enjoy our Magic Tour!
