It gives you and your students the complete New English File package, with all the in-class and out-of-class components your students need to learn successfully, and with all the teacher support that accompanies other levels ofthe series, ‘Theaim of every level of New English File isto get students talking and Beginner is no exception. To achieve this, beginners ‘need two things above all ese: motivation and support. Beginners’ language level is low, but they need interesting topics and texts just as much as Intermediate or Advanced students. Support is also vital— beginners need clear aims, clear material, and clear reference, We've also incorporated new Students Book features, including'lsten and! repeat in the Grammar Banks and Vocabulary Banks so that students get plenty of “opportunity to pronounce new language. Students who complete New English File Begimer could go ‘on to study New English File Elementary with real confidence, ‘knowing that they have a solid grounding in the basics of English. We very much hope that you enjoy using it What do Beginner students need? Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation If we want students to speak English with confidence, we need to give them the tools they need ~ Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation (G, VP). We believe that ‘G4 V + P= confident speaking, and in New Engl File Beginnerall three elements are given equal importance, Each lesson has clearly stated grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation aims. This keeps lessons focused and gives students concrete learning objectives and a sense of progress Grammar Beginner students need ‘¢ clear and memorable presentations of basic structures ¢ plenty of regular and varied practice student-friendly reference material We have tried to provide memorable contexts for new language that will engage students, using real-life stories and situations, humour, and suspense ‘The Grammar Bank gives students a single, easy-to- grammar reference section, with clear rules, example sentences, and common errors. The example sentences are all con the class audio CDs so that stadents can listen and repeat, and practise the pronunciation of the new structures. There are then two practice exercises for each grammar point © Student’s Book p88, The photocopiable Grammar activities in the Teacher's Book can be used for practice in class or for self-study, especially with slower lasses. © Teacher's Book p.123, ‘When explaining grammar rules to students, and sometimes ‘when setting up complicated activities, teachers who know their students! mother tongue may wish to use it. Although you should try to keep these occasions to a minimum we believe that very judicious use of students’ LI can save time and help build good teacher-class rapport. Contrasting how English grammar works with the rules in students’ L1 can also help students to assimilate the rules more easily 8 Vocabulary Beginner students need # to expand their knowledge of high-trequency words and phrases rapidly. # to use new vocabulary in personalized contexts # accessible reference material to help them review and consolidate their vocabalary Byery lesson in New English File Beginner focuses on high frequency vocabulary and common lexical areas, but keeps the language load realistic. Many lessons are linked to the Vocabulary Banks, which contain pictures to help prese and practise the vocabulary in class, and provide a clear reference bank to enable students to revise and test themselves, in their own time, Asstudents are beginners they are not asked to match words and pictures (asin higher levels of New nish File) but simply to listen and repeat the words and phrases. ll the lexis in the Vocabulary Banks ison the class audio CD to make it easier to deill the pronunciation. Where Wwe think the pronunciation of a word may be especially tricky, wwe have provided the phonemic script © Student’s Book p. 102, Students can practise the pronunciation of all the words from the Vocabulary Banks using the MultiROM. Photocopiable Vocabulary activities can be found in the “Teacher's Book. © Teacher's Book p.191 Pronunciation Beginner students need ¢¢ to learn the English vowel and consonant sounds and practise them in to see where there are rules and patterns in sound: spelling relationships. «systematic practice of other aspects of pronunciation, stress and sentence rhythm, New English File has its own unique system of teaching the sounds of English, through simple memorable pictures of key words which illustrate the sound and also incorporate the phonetic symbol. Students visualize and remember the words and sounds together, and the word is then used asa reference point when learning the pronunciation of other words with the same sound. Itis up to you to decide whether you wish your students to use phonetic symbols actively, or simply to become familiar with the symbols through the pictures [New English File Beginser has a pronunciation focus in every lesson, which focuses on either sounds, word stress, oF sentence stress (© Student’s Book ps. In the Revise & Check sections, students are sent to the Sound Bank, a reference section where they can see ‘common sound-spelling patterns for the sounds which they have practised in the File. © Student's Book p.177. Speaking Beginner students need regular opportunites to use new language oll « topics that will arouse thei interest and prompt them to express thelr own experiences and ideas in English. « realistic and achievable tasks,The ultimate aim of most students isto be able to ‘communicate in English. Every lesson in New English Fite Beginner has a carefully controlled speaking activity which activates new grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, giving students the chance to ‘personalize’ the target language. © Student's Book p.. ‘The Communication section of the Student’s Book provides ‘information gap’ activities to give students a reason to communicate. © Student’s Book p. 76. Photocopiable Communicative activities can be found in the Teacher's Book. These include pairwork activities, mingles, and games. © Teacher's Book p. 161 Listening Reginner students need # to be exposed to as much aural English as possible. «to build their confidence by listening to short and simple utterances # to learn to get the gist of what is being said by focusing on the key words in an utterance. Most stucents at beginner level need to start by listening with the script in front of them and progress to listening to simple exchanges from which they can extract the key information. Most lessons have listening comprehension task, and these become increasingly challenging as the course progresses. After students have listened two or three times without a script, they are sometimes asked to have a final listen with the listening script at the back of the Student's Book. This helps build students’ confidence and shows them that they do not need to understand every word to get ‘the message” of what was said. Each File also contains an authentic listening task in the Practical English lesson where students listen to mini- interviews with members of the public. This task is carefully staged so that students know exactly what information they have to listen for. © Student’s Book p.11 ‘New English File Beginner also contains seven songs which ‘we hope students will find enjoyable and motivating. For copyright reasons, these are mainly cover versions. Reading Beginner students need ‘© engaging topics and stimulating texts which will motivate them to read in English, ‘¢ manageable tasks that help them to read. ¢ to learn how to deal with unknown words in a text. Many students need to read in English for their work or studies, and reading is also important in helping students to build vocabulary and to consolidate grammar. The key to encouraging students to read is to give them motivating but accessible material and manageable tasks. New English File Beginner reading texts are staged so that they progress from one-line sentences to short articles adapted from a variety of real sources (the British press, magazines, and news websites). These articles have been chosen for their intrinsic interest. Students are frequently encouraged to guess the ‘meaning of new words from their context. © Student’s Book p.29. ‘The Revise & Check sections also include a short text where students develop their reading skills and measure their progress in this area, ‘© Student’s Book p.33, Practical English Beginner students need © to learn high frequency functional phrases '# to know what to say in common situations, eg, buying a coffee The Practical English lessons introduce students to areas like spelling their names, asking and answering personal questions, telling the time and saying dates, asking about prices, asking and giving opinions, and understanding simple directions, The lessons build up toa speaking aetivity where students practise the language learnt in the lesson and listen to authentic mini-interviews in the People in the street section. ‘These short interviews ae also on the New Engtish Fle Beginner DVD which teachers can use instead of the class audio. Using the DVD will make the lessons more enjoyable and will help students to understand faster speech with the help of paralinguistic features, On the MultigOM students have the ‘opportunity to watch and listen to more street interviews Revision Beginner students need ‘© regular recycling of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. ‘© motivating reference and practice material # a sense of progress. However clearly structures or vocabulary are presented, students will usually only assimilate and remember new language if they have the chance to see it and use it several times. Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation are recycled throughout New English File Beginner.
