As a result, the lesson becomes less predictable, land the course of the lesson flows from the teacher ~ a sense of frashness and vitality can be retainect in the classroom. ‘The Teaching Notes have two aims: © to guide the teactier step by step through the various stages of the lesson as it appears in the Student Book. If you wish, you can simply folow the cetated steps for a thorough lesson. = to expand the lesson into further activities, and to introduce conversation and discussion work that extends beyond the confines of the Siudent Book fesson. Extension and optional activities are included in the “Teaching Notes in easy-to-find boxes. Recorded Material All the conversations and istening activities in the Student Book are available on elther the Class CD or Class Cassette. Transcripts of the recorded material not included in the actual units are included at the back of the Student Book. There are two types of CD symbols in the Student Book: single CD and double CD. All conversations or exercises marked with a single GD symbol are found on the Class CD and cassette. All recorcings marked with a double CD are ‘blind listening tasks and are on the Class GD / Cassette and repeated on the Stuctant CD, which is located in the back of each Student Book. The students can use the Student CD to eithor listen to these recordings again after class or to prepare the following lesson in advance. GD has many advantages over cassettes beyond the extra sound quality, lack of bockground noise, and durability. Track numbers are conveniently located next to every CD symbol in the Student Book and Teacher's Notes. These indicate exactly which track number 1a press one you have loaded in the Class CD. You will then go instantly to that conversation or listening activity, without wasting time with inlay cards or rewinding, It you are equipping yoursel with CD for the frst time, we suggest that you find a player that has a Keypad (prefereby ‘a remote control keypad). With a keypad, enter the track number specified and listen. Then, for repetition work, return to the beginning of a tack instanty, using the ‘fern esseeeeseee Teacher's Guide Introduction exsssamems (or A/ B) faciity. This faciity is excelent.

About the Course Course Objective ‘This is a course in intemational communication for professionel peotle. It is not simply a “business English’ ‘Course. It vil De useful for a wide range of adult students in professional spheres, 2s well as younger adults on vocational courses that involve communication in English. The aim of the course is to enable students to function effectively in English at a pre-intermedite level. Too often, students have completed carafully-designed and wel Structured English courses, but still can't say anything when it comos to real life. Other students are perfectly capable of sling you how @ computer works, but are al a loss when it vomes to making an appointment or taking a cient out to lunch. This course focuses on real-ife situations and resents tham in realistic contexts, ranging from ordering breakfast to filing in a customs daclaration. We recognize that many professionals are perlectly capable of ‘surviving’ in their aree of expertise. Our jont experience of teaching these students nas made us aware that the language of Socializhg and of survival in set stuations is a common need. This, we feel, far outweighs the particular and ‘exclusive demands of job-specific o- ESP materials and leads us to favor a broader view of Engish drected toward these common needs, Level This Is @ two-level serias. Basic Survival is for students at high-eginner level and Survival English is for use with students at low-intermediate lovol Preparation The course keeps the teacher's preparation time toe minimum. Very few activities will require you to resaarch ‘other material or find endless numbers of objacts to bring into the classroom. A lot of practice and explanation can be done using books, pens and the sort of objects that can be found lying around a classroom. Any role cards, task sheets, otc, that you prepare should be kept for future classes so 2s t0 avoid having to prepare or photocopy them all again Timing itis always dificult to ‘time’ lessons. In the Teaching Notes, you will in indications as to the timing of a few individual activities, but generally, timing is not imposed on the teacher 80 that the course Is as flexible as possive. Lowor-lavel classes may take longer lo understand the Content of a lesson, but soend little time on discussion. On the other hand, a more advanced class may understand @ dialog in tive mnutes, then spend an hour discussing airport Security issues described in the Culture File. We really prefer to leave timing to your discretion. As a very general rule however, each unit represants one classroom lesson (50 minutes) Grammar Practice The course follows an overtly situational pattern, with sub. syllabuses on function, grammar and vocabulary. The grammer component used in the book becomes more complex as the book progresses, but there is no overriding linear progression. A basic knowledge is assumed frorn the outset, and this is cradualy built upon. Al the important grammar points are highlighted and practiced in the Teaching Notes. More mecherieel practice 2etivites are recommenced if and when necessary, or if requested by the students. Grammar points that sludents understand perfectly well should not be driled (out don't be afraid 10 introcuce short crils when there are problems). In mary cases, the students will bo abla to deduce tho ‘grammar point of the lesson. There are cross references throughout the Teaching Notes to the Gramrrar Files at the back of the Student Book. Your students can either look at these alone or you can go through them as part of the fesson. The Practice Beck is mainly grammer-based and will reinforce any language dificuties that might have come up during the lesson. Vocabulary Vocabulary is a vital part af the course. Encourage students to use the Vocabulary Files at the back of tha book. Advise students to buy a blingual dictionary, or a monolingual dictionary that has been specifically designed for leerners of English, like the Macmilan English Dictionary. Remember that there are authentic and semi-authentic tex's and tables in the Student Bock wnere stucents are expected to complete a task that will not involve understanding every word. They should be encouraged to rely on their ability to understand gist and to ‘guess their way through’ more Gifficut passages. It is not necessary 10 explain every word of such texts. Key language in the units is somotimes printed in color, The Teaching Notes for each unit exolain the best way 10 expicit the key language. ‘Teach studenis words like tning. Its better to say: You put ‘your luggage on the black thing at the check-in desk, than to hesitate, stop the sentance halfway trough, or say the werd in the students’ mother tongue. oes Teacners GUide INTTOCUCIION Geese ronunciation ‘ark on pronunciation will involve modeling the recordings the teacher's own voice. In English, a great deal of the 2ssage is expressed by intonation and stress. These ould be considered as important as the choice o' cabulary items, and attention should be given to them, ‘ere are aciivties in the Teaching Notes that emphasize ‘onunciation, stress, rhythm and intonation. onunciation will invoNve repetition work, Choral repetition rimizes student embarrassment and gives confidence. vidual repetition enables the teacher to check each dent's responses. The stressed words end syllables are iderined throughout in the examples aven for choral oetition. tere is no such thing as ‘English without an accent’ and ‘u should expect progress on pronunciation to develop adually. Insistence on perfect reproduction of sounds and itterns can cause some students to be embarrassod and 30 conticiones, Communicating ideas and meaning shoud the main aim, iternational English this course, the language hes been mace as ‘emationally appiceble as possible. The sitvations in the Jok take place within the U.S.A. and the course adopts pporican gpolling whore appropriate. Granmar and idioms flact the American situation, but there are a wide varisty of ccents used on the recordings. AS wel as a variety of nerican voices, there are British, Australian and Canadian iglish speakers and characters irom Mexico, Fran >rea and Japan, We adopt the principle that stud=nts want understand people speaking English. whether they ere itive speakers or not — a real-life communication situation Winvolve non-native speeke's communicating with each or as well as vith native sposkers. The teacher may 10080 t0 model hor or his own vansty of English, but udients will noed to be familar vith a range of possible ‘cents. Even within the United States, thore are a variety of gional accents among native speakers of English. 1@ Teaching Notes point out some difforencos betwoon herican and British varieties of English, The grammatical {ferences are often over-estimatad. For example, American veakers will often prefer to say Do yau have ...?, while itish speakers will prefer Have you got ..? Both forms, dwever, are in frequent use by native speakers in both aces, and neither will cause communication problems. ulture Files 8 course covers many social situations such as lroductions and business lunches. Specific cultural storms are explained in the Culture Files at the back of the ‘udent Book, or explained, as appropriate, in tne Teaching Notes. The Teaching Notes suggest when the Culture Files can be introduced. However, they can be used at any suitable port Guring the tesson or according to their location in the Stuent Book, Contrasts between the United States and Britain, where they exist, are highlighted. The warm-up and discussion activities encourage teachers 10 ask about customs ii the students’ own countries. The Culture Files can often be skm-read anc used to pre-teach vocabulary or introduce students to an activity in the lesson. Linking the Units This course can be used successfully as a modular resource book, and siudents and teachers will be able to select materials as appropriate to their needs. A number of units, however, are linked. For exemple, units 27, 28 and 29 are all about arriving at the aitport, so it would be logical and beneficial to students to teach them as a series. Units 17 and 18 are about doing invited for dinner at somebody's, home. Again, it would be better to teach these in order. Staging the Lessons The various stages of each lesson are indicated by A, B,C, D, ate, headings in the Teaching Notes.’A is always a ‘warm-up actvty, The others will vary, but follow 2 pattem ‘explained below. Activities In boxes are optional bul recommended. These include: Extension and Extension plus activities, Culture Files, and Practice Book work. Warm-up ‘The Toaching Notes for each unit start with one or more, vrarm-up actiities. These are important for drawing the. students’ attention (o the topic they are going to be working vith, if studants con't know what they're learning, or why, they wil soon lose interest, Warm-up activities are a good vray to recycle previous knowledge and refresh memories of earlier lessons. Presentation ‘The next siep is to present the new language. This is most Cften done through listening to recorcled conversations, the mast realistic vay of presenting language. Language is also presented oy means of forms and tables or other written texts. Itis at this point that the teacher should explain new vocabulary, grammar, expressions or cultural aspects to the class. Practice Tnis can inclide question and answer sessions, pairwark, repetition, and other activities based on the language presented, B eee Teachers Guide Introduction exes Personalization Finally, the students are ‘on their own’ and can move on to role-play and discussion work with a minimum of help from the teacher. Teaching Techniques Warm-up The following are activities that can be used to intraduce a lesson, 1 Expiolt titles. Check that everyone understands the title of ‘the unit. Use it to do word associations and ‘brainstorming’ activities. As a recut, alot of the new vocabulary in the lesson will have been pre-taught before the rest of the unit hes been looked at 2 Focus on the subject and ask general questions, Compare with students’ ov countries and oxperiones. 4 Ask questions that ere not always directly linked to the Student Book. Draw on students’ personal experience: Who has stayed in an American hotel? Who has had a bad experience at customs? However, always have general questions to fall back on if stucients don't provide the answers you expect. Particularly with younger adults on vocational / occupational programs, do not assume that everyone has traveled widely or stayed at international, hotels. 4 Talk about the photos and illustrations in each unit - they are lively and inspiring, Percuace students to create imaginary short background biographies of people in the pictures. Ask searching and unusual questions to test their ‘assumptions; have them study a photograph, then ask ‘questions that involve imaginative input on their pert, For ‘example, in Unit 1 we see lan King sitting in tho back of a ca. You could ask: What do you think he’s ding thero? Do you think he's there on business? Why? Dialogs Students should generally listen to dislogs without looking at the written text. Dialogs aro usually folowed by some form ‘of comprehension check, silent reading and / or reading in pairs, then choral repetition, Further ideas for exploiting Gialogs can be found throughout the Teaching Notes, but don’t hesitate to change the suggested dialog exploitation for one or moro of the folowing activities. Most of these activities assume that the class has listened to the recording at least once. 1 Comprehension quastions - the basic questions are supplied in the Teaching Notes, but you can alvays find more. Vary the questions according to the level of your class. Comprehension questions sometimes involve repeating warm-up questions for answers they didn’t find earlier, Inclide questions that will ict a variety of responses: Yes / No questions, either / or questions, open questions, indirect questions, questions with lags, questions between sludents: Ask aria if she's ever eaten gator tail or Have. you eaten gator tai? Ask Maria. Ask me, Ask each other. 2 Tiue / False comorehension statements ~ Make statements about the dialog (some true, but most false) to dlict reactions from the class. 3 Real the dialog with mistakes in it. Substitute cortain ames and facts in the dialog. Students interrupt you to tell you your mistakes. 4 Sel a ask before istening. Students have to listen for one ‘or more particular details. This can be dane with ‘task shests' (forms with gaps for information), either photocopied in advance or written up on the boerd. 5 Students listen for key language or grammar points and interrupt the recording while they are listening. Alternatively, they could highlight the kay language or grammer points on the printed page. 6 Give answors to comprehension questions, Students ask you the questions. 7 Half the class listens with the clalog uncovere6, the other half with it covered. The halt wno has read the dialog takes the role of teacher and asks the questions to the others. 8 Siop and start the recording letting students take one role in chorus, ic. play the fist speaker, stop the recording, students take the other speaker's role, 9 Siop the recorcing in the middle of sentences. Students finish them. 10 Gve prompts irom key sontences. Students reconstruct the whole centence. 11 Write up jumbled vocabulary from the dialog on the board, Students put it in order while listening 12 Write up jumbled vocabulary on the board, including words not in the dialog. Students put iin order eliminating the wrong words. 18 Get students to learn short dialogs by heart and act them in pairs in front of the class. 14 Copy out the dialog and cut it up into as many parts a8 there are students. The students then mingle and put the dialog in order, 16 Finally, it you hava uninspired or undiscipined students, tell them not to listen, Play the recording end both you and they will be amazed what they remember! ree tairwork and Role-play ‘ainwork and 1ole-play are the only practical ways of getting tudents to practice English, out they are not always easy 10 rganize. Pairwork actwities m the Student Book have a pecial pairwork symbol (see below). Students always work ‘tha partner for these ac pe lere are some further tips you can use to inerease your ludents’ opporiunity to speak: Grammar points, ‘or quick driling of a grammar point in pair, itis often asiest 10 ask each student to work with her or his eighdor. Once the students have understood the grammar int, finish the activity. Information gag role-play tudents prepare ists or information in aclvance (usually ‘orking alone), then question or have a discussion with their artner. Discussions become more genuine since students ‘@ not know what the partner is going to say, Role cards he teacher prepares the information in advance so that either student knaws in advance what they ere going to ave to say. Discourse chains he teacher writes up on the board the basic ‘map’ of the 2ie-play. This fs often very he'ptul for lower-level groups. Telephone role-play you have a telephone in your classroom, use it. Some hones are equipped with loudspeakers so that the class. an listen to both speacers. Othorwise, students can st ack-to-back Mingling activities hese have the advantage of getting everyone te stand up id move around, For functions such as greetings and \Wroductions, students should be standing up, since this is ‘OW wo greet people in real life. Switch pairs lave students do a pairwork activity, then have then hange partners. Students then ask about the previous @rtne's answers. This doubles the practice. in structural 2m, it also means that studants do two proccs ot pared tivity. In the fist activity, students talkin the irst and cond persons (V7hat do you do? I'm stil at college.) In the Lbsequent activity, they have to shift to talking in the thicl ‘er80n (What does she do? She's siil at cofege.) Surprise pairs ‘tudents prepare their role-play with one pariner and you et them to actif out with someone else at the last minute. IGQUHISE OD AUIGS THTOGUGUONT 9 Preparation from the Practice Book There are many gap-fil dialogs in tne Practice Book. Lower levels can complote tose oxercisos in class frst and use. thom as a basis for role-play, 10 Mode! dialogs I'you're not sure that your class is ready to do any of the activities above, have a test run with a good student ane yourself, using appropriate language from the rmodei dialog, Role-play is @ fluency exercise so the teacher shoulda't interrupt too often while the students are speaking, Make a mental or waitten note of mistakes and conect them afterwards if you feel they interfered with comrnunication or were bad habits. Get students to participate in correction and try and find the mistakes therse\ves. Discussion Discussion can be done in smal groups of with the clacs as a whole. The advantage of working in small groups is that shyor students are less hibited and more pecpie get talking time. The advantage of working with the class as a whole is that the discussions are often livelier. Discussion wil inevitably be limited at lower levels, soit is better to stick to subjects that are quite closely linked to the topic of the unit ‘As discussion is also a fluency activity, correction should be limited, itis better not to interrpt students while they are speaking, unless they ere totally incomprehensible and nobody understands. Make a mental or wiiten rote of major of frequent mistakes and correct after the discussion is over Symbols: @y = Listening meterial found on the Ciass CD / Cassette.
