Quizzes answer key...... iv Touchstone Touchstone is an innovative new series for adult and young adult learners of English. Itoffers a fresh approach to teaching and learning North American English using a syllabus based on how people actually speak and write English. The four levels of Touchstone take learners from the beginning through the intermediate levels of proficiency. Drawing on the Cambridge International Corpus a large database of conversations and written texts - the series introduces unique “conversation management" strategies, places special emphasis on teaching vocabulary and vocabulary-related strategies, and offers exciting ideas for personalized, learner- centered interaction. Touchstone is supported by the Touchstone Video and the Touchstone Video Resource Book. Touchstone Video ‘The Touchstone Video is a refreshing way to learn English. It provides contextualized exposure to the language presented in the Student's Book in lively, natural contexts students can easily relate to. It is not only entertaining, but it also makes language real for students. In particular, the Touchstone Video: «+ brings to life the grammar, vocabulary, and conversation strategies taught in the ‘Student’s Book. «+ relates a story involving six characters who interact in real-life, everyday situations of inherent interest to students. + depicts body language, facial expressions, and gestures that naturally accompany spoken language. * presents language use in a series of Episodes broken down into short Acts, giving students the chance to better retain the language. * promotes learning through a familiar medium, giving students a sense of, accomplishment. Bach of the four levels of the Touchstone Video exploits and reinforces the language taught in the corresponding Touchstone Student's Book. The Video is set in the context of a fun-filled, compelling situational drama featuring a group of six young people - David, Liz, Yoko, Alex, David's friend Gio, and Kim - who are friends. Through the daily encounters and tasks of these characters, students have the opportunity to see and hear the language in the Student's Book come vividly to life in both familiar and entertaining circumstances. Introduction Each of the four levels of the Video breaks down as follows: Act 1 Act 1 Episode 1 | Act 2_| Student's Book units 1-3 Episode 2. {Act 2_| Student’s Book units 4~6 Act 3 Act 3 Act 1 Act 1 Episode 3. | Act 2_| Student's Book units 7-9 Episode 4 | Act 2_| Student's Book units 10-12 Act 3 Act 3 Each Episode incorporates language taught in a set of three units of the Student's Book and thus corresponds with each Touchstone checkpoint (review unit). The topical and grammatical content of each set of three units is presented in the Video in a unique way that is related to, but different from, the Student's Book presentation, ‘This ensures that there is never a direct overlap between the situations in the Video and the ones in the Student's Book. It also provides students with an even broader exposure to the target language in context. ‘The Video provides powerful motivation to master the Student's Book lessons Episodes can be shown in advance to preview the Student's Book language in context so as to capture students’ interest and help them master unknown language. They can also be shown to review the language used in each set of three units when a checkpoint (review unit) is reached in the Student's Book. Each level of the Video includes a closed-captioning feature that shows the script ofthe conversations taking place on screen. This allows students to listen and read simultaneously. Touchstone Video Resource Book Each of the four levels of the Video comes with a Touchstone Video Resource Book, intended for use by teachers only. The Video Resource Book combines teaching notes (step-by-step lesson plans) with photocopiable student worksheets for each of the twelve Acts in the four Episodes of each Video. It also contains photocopiable character introductions, video scripts, and quizzes with answer keys. Each Touchstone Video Resource Book contains several key elements: Introduction ‘This section provides an overview of the Touchstone Video and suggestions on how to fully exploit it in class. It provides both general and specific ideas of how to use video in class and how to make the best use of each Act of the Video, Character descriptions ‘These photocopiable profiles of the main characters, David, Liz, Yoko, Alex, Kim, and David's friend Gio, allow teachers and students to become acquainted with each of the characters. Teachers can use this page to introduce the characters to students before they watch the Video or to review something about a particular character after students have watched the Video. Worksheets These photocopiable worksheets offer students a variety of ways to reinforce and review the language they encounter in the Video. There are four worksheets per Act: Before you watch (one page), While you watch (two pages), and After you watch (one page). Introduction v vi Before you watch is designed to be used for previewing and reviewing the language in the Video. It highlights the language items in the Act that are crucial for understanding. While you watch consists of tasks that focus on the situations in the Video and the language featured. Students must watch the Video to complete these exercises. Some exercises require students to view an entire Act. Other exercises focus on shorter sections of an Act in order to target specific language. Next to each exercise is a number (DVD(0)) and a timecode (VHS 000-0020). DVDC2) This is for classrooms using the DVD version of the Video. When you input this number, the DVD plays only the section of the Video that students will need to complete a particular exercise. (In some cases, this will be the entire Act.) These numbers are sequential. You can access these numbers through the Video Resource Book (VRB) Task Menu on the DVD. VHS oo ae-to This is for classrooms using the video cassette version of the Video. These numbers indicate the timecodes to start and stop the Video in order to complete an exercise. In this section, the following icons indicate how the task is to be done: ‘This indicates that students watch the Video and listen to the sound track to complete the task. fea This indicates that students watch the Video without sound to complete the task. After you watch features productive tasks that help students exploit the language from the Video in the classroom, often by way of a personalized activity. Teaching notes ‘These step-by-step lesson plans are intended for use by teachers with little experience using video in the classroom as well as by those who have previously taught with video. Specific video teaching techniques, optional additional tasks, and tips for viewing the Touchstone Video are included. Video scripts ‘The Video scripts can be used by both teachers and students in a variety of ways. As the teacher, you can use the scripts as a reference to plan your lesson and to familiarize yourself with the overall story line. The photocopiable scripts can also be distributed to students who can use them to act out what they've seen on the video as a closing exercise. Some exercises require students to view an entire Act. For exercises that require students to view only part of an Act, the starting point for the viewing is indicated in the scripts with a DVD), Quizzes and Answer keys ‘These two-page, photocopiable quizzes can be used either for self-assessment or for assessment by the teacher. There is a quiz and answer key for each Episode. Introduction Guidelines for teaching an Act from the Touchstone Video Before class * Read the Teaching notes and look over the Worksheets. * Watch the Video and read through the Video scripts. + Review the Language summary, the Language notes, and Culture notes for information you would like to emphasize in class. + Read the Before you begin section and choose any tasks that are appropriate for your students. + Photocopy one set of worksheets for each student in the class. During class Get started + Go through any Before you begin task you may have selected. + Give each student the worksheets for the Act you will cover. Go through the Before you watch section with students. + Read the instructions for each task. + Have students complete the tasks. + Check their answers. Preview the Act + Introduce the Act the students will watch by asking questions that elicit answers related to the Act. + Explain what they will see by setting the scene. Go through the While you watch section with students, + Play the Video through once. Ask students to turn their papers facedown so that they will not be distracted and will focus on the language and story. + Play the Video again. This time have students watch for the specific information they will need to complete a given task. Ask students to read through a worksheet exercise before you show the video. + Repeat the Video until students have completed all the tasks. * Check their answers, Go through the After you watch section with students. + Read the instructions for each task. + Have students complete the tasks. Specific techniques and tasks for extending use of the Video ‘Teachers have a number of techniques at their disposal to exploit the rich medium, of video in the classroom. Most of these techniques involve focusing on a single aspect of the Video to complete a task — playing only the sound track, only the picture, or only a short segment of the Video. This creates an information gap that ‘encourages students to use their language knowledge, their logic, their senses, and their imaginations to complete the task. Recommendations of specific task types that make use of these various techniques are presented below. 1. Picture-only viewing Playing a video with the sound off makes students pay close attention to the visual information in the video and use their imaginations or prior knowledge to complete the task. This technique is especially appropriate for segments that have a rich background, a lot of action, ora lot of facial expressions and body language that give clues to specific emotions or feelings. Task: What's going on? Choose a short dramatic scene that shows the setting and involves some action. Write a4-Wh-chart on the board, like this: Who Where When (time of day) What Play the scene and have students complete the chart. Task: Guess the conversation Choose a short dramatic scene in which two or more characters are having a conversation. There should be many nonverbal clues in the scene, such as facial expressions and gestures, Play the scene and have students work in pairs to write what the characters might be saying, Task: Guess the words Choose a short scene in which a number of vocabulary items are featured. Play the scene and have students work in pairs to write what items they see. To make this task more challenging, play the scene on fast-forward. Task: Guess what happens next Choose a scene that has several possible outcomes at one or more points in the action. Play the scene and stop at the first point where there could be two or more outcomes. Have students guess what will happen next. Write their ideas on the board. Play the scene again and check how many correct ideas there were. Task: Practice the tenses Choose a scene with a lot of activity. Play the scene and have students describe what is happening (present continuous) or what happened (past continuous). 2. Sound-only viewing Playing a video with the sound on but the picture covered makes students pay close attention to the spoken information in the video. This is especially appropriate for scenes in which the character's tone of voice is expressive or in which a specific language function or grammar point is being used. For all these tasks students should not have watched the chosen scene before. Task: Describe the scene Choose a scene that is rich in dialog and background noises. Write some questions on the board. For example: How many people are in the scene? How many men? How many women? Where are they? What are they doing? How are they feeling? Play the scene and have students listen and answer the questions, Task: Describe the person Choose a scene in which a character(s) speaks for at least 10-15 seconds. Play the scene, then elicit and write on the board some words to describe the people, both physically and in terms of their personalities. For example: young, old, shy, friendly, smart, happy, nervous, good-looking, pretty, beautiful, 3. Normal viewing Playing a video with the sound and picture on allows students to pay attention to both the visual and the spoken information in the video. Many of the tasks involve stop and (re) play, meaning that the video is stopped at a critical point, information is elicited, and then the scene is played or replayed. Task: Repeat the lines Choose a scene that includes key words, expressions, or intonation patterns. Play the scene up to the appropriate point, stop the video, have students repeat, mimicking the speakers as closely as they can, then replay the line again or play the next one. Give students several opportunities to listen to and repeat lines. Task: Identity the information Choose a scene that has specific information you would like to focus on, such as a character's name or a specific response someone gives in a conversation. Play the scene and have students raise their hands when they hear the information. Stop the Video, rewind it, and replay it to check answers. Task: Freeze frame Choose a scene with one or more important actions or language points on which you want to focus. Play the scene, pause it at the appropriate frame, and then ask students to complete the task. For example, students could describe what is happening or has happened in a scene, talk about the characters - who they are, how they look, or how they are behaving - or they could note details about the setting or predict what will happen next. This is an excellent tool for checking comprehension. Introduction ix Task: Closed-captioning answer check Choose a scene that has a particular conversation that students need to listen to in order to complete a task. Play the conversation once or twice as students fill in the blanks. Turn on the closed-captioning feature and play the conversation again, this time having students check their answers. Task: Predict what's next Choose a short segment of a scene (no longer than 30 seconds) that involves some dramatic development, such as the arrival of a character, a meeting between characters, ora character making a strong or surprising statement. Play the scene at that point, pause the Video, and have students say or write what they think will happen next. Play the remainder of the scene and check how many students’ predictions were correct. Task: Guess the middle Choose a scene that involves some dramatic development, as above. Play the first and last parts of the scene and have students guess what happened in the middle. Then play the entire scene so that students can confirm and correct their guesses. Task: Role-play Choose a short scene in which two or more characters speak. Tell students that they will watch the scene and then role-play the conversation. Play the scene at least twice. Have them role-play the conversation in pairs or small groups, and then have several pairs or groups role-play it for the class. The script of the conversation can be copied and given to students for support, if necessary. x Introduction Character descriptions Touchstone Video is a fun-filled, compelling situational comedy featuring a group of young people who are friends.
