The innovative Help with Listening sections take students a step further by focusing on the underlying reasons why listening to English can be so problematic. Activities in these sections: 4 focus on how sentence stess, weak forms, linking and extra sounds combine to give spoken English its natural rhythm. help students to recognise features of redundancy, e. filles raise awareness of emphatic stress and back referencing, focus on different native English speakers’ accents. encourage students to make the link between the written and the spoken word by asking them to work with the ‘Reconiing Scripts while they listen. For Teaching Tips on Listening, sce p18. Speaking A the lessons in face2tace Upper Intermediate and the Class Activities photocopiables provide students with numerous speaking opportunities. Many of these activities focus on accuracy, while the fluency activities help students 10 gain confidence, take risks and try out what they have learned, For fluency activities to be truly ‘luent’, however, students ‘ofien need time to formulate their ideas before they speak. This preparation is incorporated into the Get ready Get it right! activities at the end of each A and B lesson, For Teaching Tips on Speaking, see p18. Reading and Writing In the face2tace Upper Intermedia texts from a wide variety of genres Student’ Book, reading used both to present new language and to provide reading practice. Reading sub- skills, such as skimming and scanning, are also extensively practised. In addition there are a number of writing activities, which consolidate the language input of the lesson. For classes that require more practice of reading and writing skills, there is the 24-page Reading and Writing Portfolio in the face2face Upper Intermediate Workbook, This section ‘contains 12 double-page stand-alone lessons, one for each uit of the Student’ Book, which are designed for students to do at home or in class. The topics and content of these lessons are based closely on the CEF reading and writing competences for level B2. Vocabulary faceatace Upper Intermediate recognises the importance of vocabulary in successful communication. There is lexical input in most lessons, all of which is consolidated for student reference in the interactive Language Summaries in the back ‘of the Student’ Book. The areas of vocabulary include: lexical flelds (a review, a critic, subtitled, dubbed, etc.) collocations (make a living, work fieelance, et.) ‘word families (prefer, preference, preferable, preferably, sentence stems (Why on earth... 2, Well, no wonder fixed and semi-fixed phrases (It drives me cray., ete.) phrasal verbs and idioms (make sth up, sleep like log, ete.) ‘When students meet a new vocabulary area, they are often asked 10 tick the words they know before doing a matching, exercise or checking in the Language Summaries. This is usually followed by communicative practice of the new vocabulary. In addition, each unit in face2face Upper Intermediate includes one Help with Vocabulary section, designed to guide stucents towards a better understanding of the lexical systems of English. Students study contextualised ‘examples and answer guided discovery questions before checking in the Language Summaries. For longer courses and/or more able students, this Teacher’ Book also contains one Vocabulary Plus worksheet for each unit, These worksheets introduce and practise new vocabulary that is mot included in the Students Book, For Teaching Tips on Vocabulary, see p18, Grammar (Grammar isa central strand in the fae2face Upper Intermediate syllabus and new grammar structures are always introduced in context ina listening or 2 reading text. We believe students are more likely to understand and remember new language if they have actively tried to work out the rules for themselves. Therefore in the Help with Grammar sections students work out the meaning and form of the structure for themselves before checking in the Language Summaries. All new grammar forms are practised in regular recorded pronunciation drills and communicative speaking activities, and consolidated through writen practice. pls. For Teaching Tips on Grammar, Functional Language facoZiace Lipper Intermediate places great emphasis on the functional language students need to use immediately in their daily lives, Each unit has a double-page Real World lesson. that introduces and practises this language in a variety of | situations, Typical functions include keeping a conversation going, giving your opinion, making polite interruptions, apologising, and making and responding to suggestions. Pronunciation Pronunciation is integrated throughout face2face Upper Intermediate. Drills for new grammar structures and Real World language are included on the Class Audio CD Cassettes and indicated by the icon 9. New Help with Fluency sections also help students to become more fluent by focusing on phonological aspects of spoken English. For Teaching Tips on Pronunciation, see p19. Reviewing and Recycling We believe that regular reviewing and recycling of language are essential and language is recycled in every lesson (Opportunities for review are also provided in the Quick Review sections at the beginning of every lesson, the comprehensive Review sections at the end of each unit, and the 12 photocopiable Progress Tests in this Teachers Book.

Deal with any problems or new language in these questions belore playing a recording ‘+ Be sensitive to the difficulties that students might be having and play a recording several times if necessary + Ifyou use a cassette recorder in class, dont forget to set the counter to zero each time. + When you play a recording for a second or third time, you can ask students to read the Recording Scrips at the back of the Students Book while they listen. This helps them to ‘tune in’ to spoken English and connect what they hear with what they read. ‘+ When students need to listen and write their answers, you can stop the recording after each answer in second and subsequent listenings to give them time to write + Use the activities for the Songs on Student's Book 1p102-p103 at the points suggested in the course + Encourage students to listen again to the classroom, recordings on their CD-ROM/Audio CD on their ‘computer at home.
