TEACHER'S BOOK | 3 Introduction CNA PROGRESSION is a two-level English course for basic learners. The aim of the course is to make English enjoyable and tension-free. It is intended as a practical and natural approach to teaching English to basic learners and emphasizes the listening and speaking skills. CNA PROGRESSION is based on a set of principles which underlie its structure and activities. In a nutshell, these principles are: A view of language which proposes that language is a means of communication and that to communicate is to interpret, express, and negotiate meaning; and that in order to be able to communicate properly in a foreign language, speakers should reach communicative competence (Savignon, 1991). A view of teaching which is organized around the steps of engaging students in the task by providing them with the language items to be worked on, studying that language in a way that students become familiar with it, and activating their knowledge by experimenting with what they have learned (Harmer, 2008). A view of learning which advocates that knowledge is constructed by means of interaction with the other participants in the learning process (i.e. students, teacher, materials, context) and therefore that students are co- responsible for their learning (Vygotsky, 1978). A view of culture that not only encourages students to bring to class their cultural background and share it with their classmates, but also promotes the exploration and discovery of other cultural contexts. : A view of social responsibility which is coherent with the educational belief that a language course should go beyond teaching the foreign language only and that the teaching/learning process is also a means to offer students a chance to reflect and act on their role as citizens of their communities and the world. A view of the teacher’s role which is based on the belief that teachers play a key role in the success of the teaching/learning process and therefore they should take it into their hands to make informed decisions concerning the best way to make use of the material and other resources available. 4 | CNA PROGRESSION 2 Course Components Student’s Learning Pack Teacher’s Pack Class Lessons Class Lessons Audio Files (online) Audio Files (CD) Activity Book Activity Book Information Gap Activities Information Gap Activities Grammar Tips Further Practice Web Lessons Grammar Tips CNA NET Resource Pack Audio Script Class Lessons The Class Lessons are made up of eight lessons which mainly focus on the development of speaking, listening, and reading skills, supported by activities that specifically focus on linguistic input (grammar, vocabulary, functions, and pronunciation). The book starts with a special unit – the Starter Unit – which will provide students with useful language to be used : throughout the course. Units 4 and 8 are dedicated to review material studied in the previous units. Audio Files The Audio Files for the listening comprehension activities in the Class Lessons are available on CNA NET and can be downloaded for further practice. The Audio Script can be found at the back of the Teacher’s Pack. TEACHER'S BOOK | 5 Activity Book The Activity Book offers students stimulating and varied practice of the material studied in class. Grammar Tips Each unit has a set of grammar tips with more detailed explanations of the grammar items studied in the unit. Activities and their answer keys are also available for those students who want extra practice. Teacher's Pack The Teacher’s Pack contains detailed suggestions on how to teach the course, answer keys to the class lessons activities, transcripts of the listening comprehension activities, and reduced pages of the Class Lessons. Further Practice These are activities are meant to provide more practice of the content taught in the units and should be worked with if time is available. Resource Pack Flashcards, cue cards, and supplementary materials are available in the Resource Pack. These materials are meant to add diversity to and enrich the lessons. Web Lessons : The Web Lessons are online activities which provide students with further practice of the contents studied in class. 6 | CNA PROGRESSION 2 Structure CNA PROGRESSION 2 is organized in thematic units consisting of activities which have specific characteristics and goals coherent with the broad objectives of the unit and the material. Speaking These activities aim at providing students with opportunities to practice the new language items in context. The activities encompass both more controlled and freer practice. Before students start interacting, your job is to set the scene so that they understand the language to be practiced/used and the context of production. During interaction, you are not expected to interfere, unless students require your help or there is a communication breakdown. Listening The purpose of the listening comprehension activities is to develop students’ strategies and techniques to deal with the language in its aural form. It is very important to prepare the students for the different tasks through pre-listening activities such as exploring visual cues, eliciting information related to the topic to be listened to, and making predictions. These will activate their previous knowledge and will help them better perform the task. It is also important to remind students that the objective of the activities is not to understand each and every word, but rather to listen for the information necessary to do the task. : Reading The approach to the teaching of reading is similar to that used for the teaching of listening. That is, the main goal of these activities is to develop students’ strategies and techniques to deal with the written language. Pre- reading activities such as exploring visual cues and making predictions are crucial to ease the students’ way into the text. Bear in mind that the objective of the reading comprehension activities is not to understand each and every word, but rather to find the information necessary to do the tasks that follow the reading passage. Writing The focus of the writing activities is to develop students’ abilities to produce texts which they are likely to need in real life. A processed-oriented approach which aims at valuing not only students’ final product but also reflecting on the process of production of the texts is used. Vocabulary The focus of these activities is to expand students’ lexical repertoire. Activities in this section lead students to use the words in context so that they serve as tools for the speaking, listening, and reading activities. From the start, students should be encouraged to take risks to develop techniques such as guessing and inferring to deal with the new words. Language Awareness These activities are primarily meant to guide students to realizing how the target language works. Students are stimulated to build hypotheses on how the language works and then experiment with them. As a result, the activities are not only meant to develop students’ understanding of the way the language works, but also to : increase their critical and autonomous thinking skills. TEACHER'S BOOK | 7 Pronunciation The main goal of these activities is to develop students’ awareness of English sounds and intonation patterns. Therefore, students will be exposed to the phonetical and phonological aspects of the language which are seen as more challenging. The assumption is that, by working on them, students’ speech will become more natural. Game Games provide students with natural opportunities for using language for real purposes as well as for enjoyment. Your job during these activities is to guarantee that students understand the rules of the game and the language to be practiced/used. You should also keep control of the situation, especially if it involves groups or teamwork. Information Gap Activities These activities have been specially written to provide students with authentic opportunities to communicate. As the name says, the activities require that students interact so that information can be exchanged and the “missing gaps” can be filled. Careful instructions on how to perform these activities should be given so that the information gap element is not ruined – often the activities require that one student should not see his or her partner’s card – and students understand what conversation is to be carried out. Therefore, some language elicitation and modeling may be required. It is also highly advisable that you spend a few minutes when the activity is over talking to students about what they found difficult as well as finding out if anyone wanted to say : something but did not have the necessary language to do so. This may also be a good moment to go through mistakes students may have made and carry out remedial work. Feedback Time The focus of the Feedback Time is to give students the opportunity to recapitulate the contents studied. Students should be encouraged to go through the unit and produce samples of the material studied and carry out a self-evaluation of their progress. This is an important moment to discuss with the whole group what can be done to develop their command of the content studied and the tools available to do that. What else could you say? The What else could you say? boxes offer students different language components to express the same communicative functions. Students thus expand and diversify their communicative repertoire. It is important to show students that they can say the same thing in different ways. However, you should use your discretion as to decide how far to explore and demand the use of such language. For example, if you see that your students already know and can use the target language in the activity, you may decide to explore the ones in the corresponding What else could you say? box. These boxes are useful too when there’s a little extra time and you think students would benefit from further practice. Did you know...? The Did you know…? boxes occur in different parts of the material with the aim of broadening students’ knowledge of the language or their English-speaking world. These boxes provide them with information related to the theme of the units. It is important that you go through the : information in them with students and give more examples if necessary. 8 | CNA PROGRESSION 2 page 14 page 10 page 28 page 42 page 56 Go ahead!

SPEAKING GOALS • Review language content students have worked on in previous levels • Promote development of speaking skills • Encourage social and collaborative learning strategies • Books closed. Welcome students and introduce yourself briefly if this is a new group. If there are any new students in class, ask them to introduce themselves. You can also ask them if they have had a nice break or vacation and other things to get to know them. • Books open. Go over the items in the table briefly and encourage students to ask you the corresponding questions so that : you can check their oral skills and offer help if necessary. • Next, pair up students and ask them to exchange information about themselves. Allow a few minutes for them to fill in the table with their own answers first. Encourage them to ask their classmates further questions on the topics provided. Model the conversation with a student: A: Tell me about your family./Do you have a big family? B: Not really. I have two brothers. A: What are their names? What do they do? B: Roberto is a high school student and Miguel is an economist. A: Are you married? B: No, I’m not, but I have a boyfriend. His name’s Silvio and we work at the same company. • While students talk, walk around the room, observe your students’ ability to cope with the task and offer help when necessary. When they are done, move on to Activity 1b and ask each of them to pick one item from the table and share it with the whole class. Depending on how much time is available, you can ask students to share : some more information. Be extra careful with the new students. Make sure they are introduced properly and acquire a sense of belonging to the group. TEACHER'S BOOK | 11 Go ahead! 2 . GAME GOALS • Add an element of fun to the lesson • Allow students an opportunity to review language contents as well as practice and develop their speaking skills • Books open. Have students work in groups of three or four. Tell them they can use a coin or an eraser as a marker and that they should place them on the Start square. Explain they have to take turns flipping a coin. If they get heads, they should move one square and if they get tails they move two squares. They should answer the questions or carry out a conversation based on the situations suggested. Whichever : the case may be, encourage students to ask and answer appropriate questions. If they land on a square that says Free Question And Answer they should choose a classmate and ask him/ her a question of their choice. • Each correct question, answer, and situation carried out satisfactorily is worth one point. • If they land on an occupied square, they should move on to the next free square. • Encourage students to evaluate their own work and keep score. Walk around the room at all times and offer help when necessary. The first student to get to the Finish square ends the game for the group. The winner is the student with the highest score. 12 | CNA PROGRESSION 2 0 STARTER UNIT 3 . SPEAKING GOALS • Review and consolidate language dealt with previously : • Develop students’ communicative competence in English • Books open. Go over the situations with students and make sure they understand what each one is about. Ask them if they have ever been in situations like these and how they felt. If necessary, elicit some questions to help them get started. Pair students up and ask them to role play Situation 1. You may want to have them exchange pairs and carry out Situation 2. Situations 3 and 4 require groups of three, so you may want to rearrange the groups. Depending on the number of students, you may have three interviewees (or just one).
