Introdu
ction
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.

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.

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.

TEACHER'S BOOK | 5
r u c t u r e
S t CNA PROGRESSION 1 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.

6 | CNA PROGRESSION 1
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.

THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE
We use the simple past tense to talk about situations that happened at a specific time in the past. Study the
examples:

We form the past of most verbs by adding -ed to their base form. Study the examples:
visit I visited my family last weekend.

play They played with the kids all day yesterday.

Some verbs change their spellings in the past. Study the examples:

• For verbs ending in -e we add -d. Study the • For verbs ending in a consonant + -y, we drop
examples: the -y and add -ied. Study the examples:
decide decided try tried
agree agreed cry cried

• For one syllable verbs ending in a single • For verbs with two or more syllables ending
vowel and a consonant, we double the last in a single vowel and consonant whose
consonant. Study the examples: final syllable is stressed, we double the last
tip tipped consonant. Study the examples:
stop stopped refer referred
prefer preferred

Some verbs in the past are irregular. Study the examples:


see We saw a wonderful movie last night.

buy/get We bought a house when we got married.

GRAMMAR TIPS | 125


1 UNIT

The past form of verbs is the same for all persons. Study the examples:

] ]
I I
You You
He He
She She
It looked happy yesterday. It ate pizza last night.
We We
You You
They They

To make interrogative sentences in the past, we use the auxiliary verb did and the main verb in the infinitive
without to. Study the example:
A: Did she go to the party with Bob?
B: Yes, she did.
A: Where did they meet?
B: At her place.
A: And did they like the party?
B: Yes, they did.

To make negative sentences in the past we use the auxiliary verb did + not (didn’t) and the main verb in the
infinitive without to. Study the example:
A: How did Lucy get home?
B: Well, Jeff didn’t drive her home because his car broke down. So she had to take a cab.
A: Really? Did she get upset?
B: Not really. She didn’t get upset because she understood it wasn’t his fault.

Short answers can be given to yes or no questions. Study the example:

VERBS OF PREFERENCE +
GERUND & INFINITIVE
Verbs such as LOVE, LIKE, HATE, and PREFER can be followed by verbs in both the infinitive form or the gerund.
However, there’s a slight difference between the two forms. The gerund expresses liking while the infinitive
expresses habitual preference, something we consider right, useful, or wise. Study the examples:
My husband and I love traveling on our vacation.
(but)
My husband and I love to travel in September.

I like talking to native Spanish speakers.

I hate staying at hostels.


(but)
I hate to stay at home when I’m on vacation.

I prefer driving cars to trucks.


(but)
I prefer to drive during the day.

Some verbs such as ENJOY and expressions such as


CAN’T STAND and FEEL LIKE are normally followed by
verbs in the gerund. Study the examples:
I enjoy going to the beach.

SET OF CARDS A

questions to ask Team B.

Superman first appeared in 1938 and his symbol is part of the


American culture. Superman has incredible powers – super
strength, the ability to fly, X-ray vision, super speed, super
hearing, and super breath. Superman has one weak point –
Kryptonite. When exposed to this radioactive element from
his home planet, he becomes weak and helpless.
Superman’s powers come from Krypton, the planet where he
was born. Kypton’s red sun gives Superman additional powers.

Read this passage about Superman and prepare three


SET OF CARDS B

questions to ask Team A.

Superman’s alter ego is Clark Kent, a reporter who lives in the


city of Metropolis and works for the newspaper The Daily
Planet. Clark is in love with Lois Lane. He was adopted by a
family of farmers when he was a baby. His family gave Clark
strong moral beliefs to help him fight evil.
Superman’s arch enemy is Lex Luther. He doesn’t have any
superpowers, but he uses technology and Kryptonite to
control Superman.

What is her post about?
It's about traveling.
Who is she writing to?
To Internet users.

Hi, everyone!
My husband and I are going to travel to Europe for the 昀椀rst time. We live in São Paulo,
Brazil, and are going to spend three weeks there. We’re planning this trip at the last minute
because we didn’t know we would have some time off. We’re both teachers and are very
excited about this trip. Because this is our 昀椀rst time, we are worried about traveling from
place to place.
We would like to 昀氀y to London and then go to Amsterdam, Vienna, and Paris. We are
planning to spend about a week in Paris and take small day trips to Mont Saint-Michel,
Versailles, and other small towns.
Could you give us suggestions on how to get from London to Amsterdam and from
Amsterdam to Paris? Could you also tell us what the best way to get around in France is?
Should we rent a car? Should we take the train? If we should take the train, do we have to
buy tickets in advance? What are the best sites to use? I’m a little confused with so many
travel websites.
We are 28 and 30. We love art, architecture, and food. I personally would love to see a few
museums, castles, and churches here and there. We would also like to go to fun pubs and
clubs. It would be a good idea to have a list of some good restaurants, too. Thank you so
much for your help! We really appreciate it.
Best regards, Rachel
