History, or the re-telling of historical events, can also be influenced by a culture or nation’s perception of the events National Geographic’s non-judgmental and culture-neutral accounts allow students to look behind the superficial events and gain a deeper understanding of our ancestors Animals The animal kingdom is always an appealing and interesting topic LIFE provides astonishing photos that give a unique insight into the hidden lives of known and lesser-known animals, offering rare glimpses of mammals, birds, bugs, and reptiles in their daily struggle for survival It also informs and surprises with accounts of animals now extinct, species still evolving, and endangered species which are literally fighting for their existence Environment It isn’t always possible to find clarity in texts on the environment and climate change, or trust that they are true and not driven by a political agenda National Geographic’s objective journalism, supported by easy-to-understand visuals, presents the issues in an accessible way The articles are written by experts in their fields It’s often true that those who have the deepest understanding of issues are also able to express the ideas in the simplest way High-quality thinking and expertise are not synonymous with complicated concepts expressed through complicated language; in fact, usually the reverse is true National Geographic photography We live in a world where images are used more than ever to reinforce, and at times replace, the spoken and written word To present discourse without them is both unrealistic and unhelpful Our memories work in pictures; our experiences and the things we learn about the world are stored using them Raising awareness of this can help students to remember language more easily All too often photos in books are cosmetic and without impact National Geographic has great photography and powerful images at its core, so it seems natural that photographs in LIFE should serve as the starting point for each unit The photographs in each spread are also integral to the written and recorded content and every opportunity has been taken to use photographs to stimulate learning In LIFE, there are photographs that: tell a story by themselves support understanding of a text provoke debate stimulate critical thinking by asking you to examine detail, think about what is not shown, or question the photographer’s motives raise questions about the ethics support the language learning process by representing lexical sets or language functions As a first exercise when handing out the new book to your students, ask them to flip through the book, select their favorite photograph, and then explain to the class what it is they like about it Some suggestions for working with the photographs: pictures of people or animals capture a moment, so ask students to speculate on the events that led up to this moment and those that followed it pictures of places aim to capture their essence, so feed students the vocabulary they need to describe the details that together convey this (the light, the colors, the landscape, the buildings) National Geographic video Each level of LIFE features National Geographic videos on a whole range of subjects Each video is connected with the topic of a corresponding unit and can be used in conjunction with the video lesson pages in the unit Video sections are divided into three parts: Before you watch This section leads students into the topic of the video and engages them in a pre-watching task While you watch These exercises check comprehension of the video, both in terms of what a student sees and hears After you watch This section allows students to respond to the video as a whole and take part in a productive speaking task using language and contexts from the video The videos are designed to form part of your lessons However, if you don’t have time in class to watch them all, you can ask students to watch the videos and complete many of the exercises on the page in the Student Book This can form a useful part of their self-study Students can also watch the videos again after seeing them in class This is useful for review and students can focus on parts of the audio that particularly interest them For more variation with the videos, here are some more ideas you can use and develop: Play the video without sound Students predict what the narrator or people are saying Then play with sound and compare Play the sound only with no video Students predict where the video takes place and what is happening Then play with the screen on and compare Show the first part of the video, pause it, and then ask students what they think happens next Give students a copy of the script for the video and ask them to imagine they are the director What will they need to film and show on the screen? Afterwards, they can present their screenplay and finally watch the original Write a short text on the same topic as the one in the video, leaving some information out Students read the text and then watch the video They make notes on any new information and rewrite the text so it includes the new details With monolingual groups, choose part of the video with someone talking Ask students to listen and write down what they say Then, in groups, ask them to create subtitles in their own language for that part of the video Each group presents their subtitles and the class compares how similar they are National Geographic and critical thinking There is a graded critical thinking syllabus in LIFE that starts in Level and runs through all the later levels The critical thinking activities appear in Lesson C of each unit The syllabus covers areas such as reading between the lines, differentiating between opinion and fact, evaluating the reliability of source material, assessing the relevance of information, identifying the techniques used by an author to persuade the reader, weighing up evidence, etc These activities require students to engage with the reading texts at a deeper level and to show real understanding, not just reading comprehension This training in evaluating texts, assessing the Introduction v validity and strength of arguments, and developing an awareness of authorial techniques is clearly a valuable skill for those students learning English for academic purposes (EAP), where reflective learning is essential However, it is also very much part of the National Geographic spirit, which encourages people to question assumptions and develop their own well-informed and reasoned opinions In this sense, it adds another dimension to the experience of learning English through National Geographic material LIFE methodology Treatment of grammar Target grammar is presented through reading and/ or listening input in the first two spreads of each unit This input is authentic, adapted for level as necessary, using the target language in natural and appropriate linguistic contexts This not only aids comprehension, but presents good models for the learner’s own language production through a variety of “voices” and genres The primary focus is on the topic content before the learner’s attention is drawn to the target grammar structures Learners are first directed to notice this language by various means, such as using highlighting within the text, extracting sample sentences, or having learners locate examples themselves A variety of task formats are used to lead learners to analyze the form, meaning, and use of the grammar structures, as appropriate Such an approach can be highly motivational by actively engaging learners in the lesson and allowing them to share and discuss their interpretation of the new language After this stage, clear paradigms or examples of form and use are given on the page in a simple summary box This supports the learners and is a check point for the teacher and learners alike as it summarizes the information learners will have arrived at through completing the discovery tasks A cross-reference is provided to more detailed information and additional exercises at the back of the book These are suitable for use both in class and for self-study, according to the needs of the learners The grammar practice tasks within the unit are linked to the presentation text and topic and are thus content-rich in the same way They move from more supported exercises through to more challenging tasks Depending on the level, they have a differing emphasis on form and use The practice tasks give learners an opportunity to personalize the structures and practice them in the context of their own experiences and situations This anchors the vi new language in existing frameworks and leads to a clearer understanding of the usage of this new or revised language Equally, the practice exercises incorporate a real reason to use the target structure, whether by devices such as quizzes, games, etc., or by genuine exchange of information between students A final task on each spread allows the learners to create their own output and is structured so that learners have the opportunity to use the target grammar as well as other target language, for example vocabulary, in a meaningful context This final task has a variety of formats such as discussions, personal narratives, and task-based activities (ranking, etc.), and the emphasis from the learner’s perspective is on content and fluency, rather than grammatical accuracy Aside from the two main grammar input spreads, the target grammar is also recycled in the subsequent spreads of each unit and beyond Treatment of vocabulary LIFE teaches vocabulary in a range of different ways This eclectic approach takes account of recent research, but doesn’t abandon tried and tested methods There is more practice of all of this vocabulary input (apart from words occurring in glossaries) in the Workbook Lexical sets Some of the benefits generally associated with teaching words in lexical sets are: learning words in a set requires less effort retrieving related words from memory is easier seeing how knowledge can be organized can be helpful to learners it mirrors how such information is stored in the brain the meaning of words can be made clearer by comparing and contrasting them to similar words in the set Each unit usually has two or more lexical sets The lexical sets also cover commonly confused words There is evidence to suggest that once students have learned one or more of the words that belong to a group of commonly confused words (e.g., job and work), it is useful to compare and contrast these words directly to clarify the differences (or similarities) in meaning LIFE focuses on these groups of words as and when they come up Word focus The Word focus sections take high-frequency words and give examples of the different meanings they can have according to the contexts in which they appear and the different words they collocate with At higher levels, there is increased exposure to idioms and colloquial usage This content is reinforced in the Workbook where appropriate Wordbuilding The independent wordbuilding syllabus offers students another opportunity to expand their vocabulary The Wordbuilding boxes in the units focus on areas such as prefixes, suffixes, collocations, parts of speech (e.g., noun adjective), compound nouns, and phrasal verbs, and highlight examples from the reading or listening texts The box gives a brief explanation and some examples, which is often reinforced in the Workbook Glossaries Where certain words are important to the meaning of a text, but are above the level of the student, they are glossed Students aren’t expected to learn these words, but the short and simple definitions prevent them from being a barrier to understanding Learning skills There is a comprehensive learning skills syllabus in the Workbook This covers traditional learning skills, such as recording new vocabulary, using a dictionary, remembering new vocabulary, planning study time, assessing your own progress, etc There are photocopiable tests in the Teacher’s Guide There is a Check! section at the end of each unit in the Workbook for students to check what they have learned (general knowledge as well as language) Overview of a Student Book unit On the following pages, you will find a walkthrough of a unit of LIFE, from Level The Student Book units follow this
