Unit Walkthrough

Systematization
of grammar focus in
Lessons 1, 2 and 4.

Visual presentation
of vocabulary in
Lessons 1, 3 and 6.

Plenty of oral work to

enhance communicative
skills and learner active
participation.

Cross-references to the
Activity Book section
for further practice
(in Lessons 1, 2 and 4).

Main language
presentation in natural
contexts: In this section,
the main characters Lorna, Daisy, Jason and
Toby - share several
situations that provide
a communicative
framework for effective
learning.

A rap (Lesson 1) and a song

(Lesson 5) in each unit to
integrate language and/
or vocabulary content, fix
structures and ensure fun
in the classroom.

Unit Walkthrough

Sound practice which

starts from mere
recognition and
always integrates
another skill, listening
in this case (Activity 2).

Gradual production in
activities that go beyond
simple repetition and
aim at consolidating the
newly-learnt language.

The All about me! section

is a personalization feature
in which learners are given
the chance to use the
language for
communicative purposes
with their peers.
This gives them the
opportunity to talk about
themselves and have
fun within a purposeful
framework.

Unit Walkthrough

The Fish & Chip section features a silly

but very funny character, Charlie Chip, an
athlete who suffers the most incredible
accidents.
This section provides the perfect context
for presentation of grammar and it will
surely make students laugh.

Plenty of work in pairs

that involves the use
of new structures in
combination with
observation skills.

Game-like activities to
consolidate grammar.

Songs integrate grammar and

vocabulary. They also allow teachers
to focus on the phonological features
of the language.
In For Winners, we introduce them as
reading comprehension activities to
help students develop independence
and a sense of achievement.

10

Unit Walkthrough

Development of
students observation,
association and
listening skills.

The Time to read section

provides interesting and
informative texts that
deal with original topics
and allow teachers to
use them not only for
comprehension
activities but also for
meaningful exploitation.

Every lesson has a clear aim: using

grammar and vocabulary. Engaging
activities and mini-projects foster
creativity and are ideal for mixedability groups.

As this is the skills

development page, it also
includes the Time to talk
section, which gives learners
the chance to integrate and
consolidate language through
pair work and group work.

11

Unit Walkthrough

The last lesson in

every unit deals
with cross-curricular
topics and finishes in
a mini-project that
gives students the
chance to investigate
about a topic and
share their findings
or productions.

This section presents a more

demanding grammar activity.
Students are expected to
do parallel work such as
observation or association.

Through this feature, learners are asked

to self-assess their work using both the
bird and the numbers, thus getting
a clear picture of their progress and
whether they are ready or not for the test
provided for in the Teachers Guide.

12

This self-assessment page

aims at helping learners
to develop their sense of
awareness by giving them
the opportunity to assess
their own work.
The Hows your English?
section is based on positive
testing, starting from a
simple listening activity.

Unit Walkthrough

Simple information-gap activities

that aim at constant revision.

Productive activities that focus not only on answering but also on

asking questions. After all, this is what communication is about!
This type of activity goes hand-in-hand with the pair work in the
lessons and aims at revision and internalization of material.

Information-gap
activities that require
observation and focus
not only on grammar
content but also
on development of
thinking skills.

At the end of every unit,

there is a writing activity
that integrates grammar
and vocabulary in a
productive way. These
activities are guided so
as to give students a
sense of confidence and
the chance to work with
different text types, in
this case an e-mail.

Useful writing tips are

provided to help students.
Simple grammar
practice to help
students consolidate
their achievements.
