Course overview In tro d u c tio n Learner needs International Express Elementary Interactive edition is a course for adult learners who need • English as a language of international communication • English in work, travel, and social situations • to develop their understanding and use of basic grammar structures • to gain fluency, accuracy, and confidence • a range of vocabulary for common-core work-related and social contexts • to use their limited time effectively and efficiently • to develop strategies to improve the way they learn Course aims International Express Elementary provides • clear learning aims, targeted to learners’ needs • the grammar, vocabulary, and functions necessary for learners to operate effectively, within the limits of their level, in a range of common-core work, travel, and social contexts • an approach to grammar which guides learners to an understanding of meaning and use through contextualized presentation, supported by clear, easily accessible grammar summaries and reference material • strategies for effective vocabulary learning • materials adapted from authentic sources, to reflect learners’ needs and expectations R a tio n a le Syllabus and approach The grammar, lexical, and functional content of the course is targeted specifically to meet those needs which these adult learners have in common The choice of items, and the order in which they are introduced, is determined by frequency and usefulness to the learner’s operational needs Grammar items are presented in realistic contexts, chosen to reflect both meaning and use Learners study data and examples from listening or reading texts and are guided to an understanding of grammar rules and use The accompanying Pocket Book is used in class to verify conclusions, and is also a reference source Vocabulary developm ent Expanding basic vocabulary range is very important for learners at this level Topics are chosen for their usefulness and interest, and to develop the learner’s range of basic vocabulary In addition, the Wordpower sections present effective strategies for organizing and learning vocabulary Focus on communication Basic key functional exponents, selected for their high frequency and usefulness in common-core work-related, travel, and social situations, are presented to enable learners to communicate effectively at a basic level The focus is on interaction, on both initiation and response T e ac h e r's R esource B o o k The Teacher’s Resource Book has two main sections: • Teaching notes • Resource file Teaching notes The teaching notes have been written with both the experienced and the less experienced teacher in mind The detailed, step-by-step guide to teaching each unit is designed for the less experienced teacher in particular The experienced teacher may also find the other material in the teaching notes useful The notes include: some background information about topics; key vocabulary needed for each activity; warnings about possible areas of difficulty, indicated by the symbol A ; suggestions for extra practice and follow-up activities Answers to the exercises in the Student’s Book, and a full listening script, are incorporated Resource file The Resource file is a source of photocopiable material which can be used either as extension or consolidation material, or for revision The teaching notes suggest where a piece of material can be used M aterials in the Resource file are organized into files: Grammar, with additional practice activities, and grammar games with cards which aim to develop students’ understanding and use of structures; Vocabulary, with regular reviews of the key vocabulary in each unit, and vocabulary extension activities; Communication, with activities to review the functional language from these sections There are also five tests, which can be used after units 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 The Resource file has brief instructions for the activities where these are necessary, and a photocopiable answer key The index to the Resource file gives the reference number for each activity, the language point focus, title, and the first place in the Student’s Book where it can be used T

has three sections: Language focus, Wordpower, and Focus on communication The sections are designed to follow on from one another However, the Focus on communication sections can be used separately, if wished, as they have their own functional syllabus In the Language focus sections • the target grammar is presented and practised in realistic contexts • in some units the target grammar is presented in two separate Language focus sections, for clarity and to facilitate learning as much as possible • there are often both reading and listening presentation texts, to develop the learner’s ability and confidence in understanding • comprehension is checked by questions or a transfer activity • • the grammar boxes present examples of the target structure from the presentation texts and guide students to understand meaning and use; learners are then referred to the grammar summaries in the Pocket Book • the practice activities move from controlled to freer practice, in order to develop learners’ accuracy, fluency, and confidence in using the target grammar There are individual, pairwork and groupwork activities to provide variety and maximize student talking time The Wordpower sections • focus on presenting and practising basic key vocabulary to enable learners to communicate in a range of common-core work, travel, and social situations • incorporate a learner-training component which teaches strategies for organizing vocabulary, to make learning more effective The Focus on communication sections • present and practise functional language to enable learners to operate effectively, within the limits of their level, in a variety of contexts relating to their needs • focus in particular on developing the learner’s fluency and confidence in using English on the phone, in travel and social contexts, and for communicating by email Pronunciation • is included in each unit, usually in the Language focus sections, sometimes in the Wordpower or Focus on communication sections • focuses on word and sentence stress, individual sounds, weak forms, linking, and contractions Review units Each Review unit aims to review the grammar, vocabulary, and functional, social, and telephone language from the previous two units The Review units are designed to be used in class; the Resource file has corresponding Tests, to be done after each Review unit Each Review unit has a variety of individual and pairwork exercises The individual exercises can also be done as pairwork if preferred Method • At the end of the previous class, tell students there will be a review session in the next lesson Ask them to revise the work from the previous two units • Encourage students to use the Pocket Book for reference while doing the Review units, and to ask you for help as they work through • Monitor students’ work • Check answers, whole class • Give feedback on any points that came up during monitoring • Encourage students to decide for themselves what they need to review further, by using the self-check box at the end • Agree a time when students will the corresponding Tests A -E on pp.130-139 Student's Book Contents L a n g u a g e fo c u s

coursebooks in this series, the listening and reading texts in International Express Elementary are based on authentic source materials and interviews • The focus throughout is on meeting adult learners’ practical language needs, using interesting topic material that will motivate and engage them in the learning process and establish a clear link between the classroom and the real world in which they need to use English Effective learning • The focus is on clear learning aims, systematic presentation and practice of the target language in manageable ‘chunks’ for learnerfriendly learning • Review Units after every two units in the Student’s Book, and photocopiable Tests in the Teacher’s Resource Book, provide regular recycling of key language and lexis to increase the effectiveness of the limited time busy adults have for learning English Vocabulary • Wordpower sections present and practise ways of organizing vocabulary such as word maps, word groups, wordbuilding, and using pictures • The teaching notes for each lesson suggest the vocabulary which needs to be checked at a particular point Depending on your students’ needs, decide whether you want to teach the vocabulary for active use or for passive understanding • For active use, elicit or explain the meaning, and ask check questions to make sure students have understood Then provide practice contexts in which students can use the new vocabulary and practise pronunciation • Encourage your students always to record active vocabulary • Review vocabulary regularly There are vocabulary sections in both the Review Units and the Tests, and regular reviews in the Workbook and the Teacher’s Resource file Role-play activities • In role-play activities, allow sufficient time for preparation • Where appropriate, put AA, BB pairs together to prepare their role first Students then the role-play in AB pairs • Students at this level usually need to a role-play several times to become fluent and confident • After oral practice, get students to write the conversation they had as a written consolidation task Groupwork • As in the other levels in this series, the groupwork tasks in International Express Elementary are designed to be done as ‘students in charge’ activities As a general rule, put students in charge of group activities as often as possible • Make sure students understand exactly what they have to do, then hand over to them • Where appropriate, appoint, or let the group appoint, a chairperson to lead a discussion or to be in charge of the group activity • M any group activities end with feedback to the class In these cases, make sure everyone knows before the group activity starts exactly what form the feedback will take and what each group has to • Take a back seat while the groupwork is going on, so students no longer focus on you as the person in charge Monitor and note down mistakes to deal with afterwards, using the photocopiable monitor sheet if you like • As well as doing remedial work on mistakes, remember to give positive feedback Praise students for what they did well, both in terms of their use of language and the way in which they carried out the task Feedback and correction • Always give students the opportunity to self-correct, before inviting correction from other students • Keep monitor sheets where you note down the most important mistakes made in a lesson, then photocopy it for the class Students work in groups, writing down the corrections One-to-one courses International Express Elementary can be used for one-to-one courses with very little adaptation All the pairwork activities can be done if the teacher takes the role of the other person in the pair, and the groupwork discussion topics can be discussed by teacher and student together Monitor sheet (p.147) This aims to encourage learner independence, to encourage students to correct themselves, and to provide revision/remedial work It can be used at any time when you choose to focus on one student’s performance, or to note collective problems during a lesson activity Be selective about errors noted, and make sure students keep monitor sheets for reference Method Use the monitor sheet to note down mistakes, and the symbols to indicate the nature of the mistake Do not write the correction Give the student the sheet When they have corrected as many points as they can, go through the rest of the sheet and supply any further corrections Encourage the student to check the sheet at a later date, to see whether the corrections are still clear Method Use the monitor sheet as in Method You may choose to note a student’s name if you want them to focus on a particular point, but in general mistakes should be anonymous Copy the sheet for the class, or write on board Students work individually, in pairs or in small groups to correct errors Check answers, whole class Review the sheet at a later stage in the course For example, elicit corrections orally, or use a compilation of mistakes from a number of sessions for pairwork correction, as a warmer or filler activity UNIT Unit Language focus presents the I/you/we/they forms of the Present Simple tense The he/she/it forms are presented in Unit Language focus As this is the first lesson, the mini-presentations in Language focus exercise below are designed to give students the chance to introduce
