Portfolio

Modules
Each module is divided min four sub-modules and each sub-module contains 3 units. The units
focus on the functional use or English and present topics and skill development techniques
relevant to young learners. Different story lines, tracing the day-to-day activities of some
teenagers living in London, run throughout the modules. The characters represent the diversity of
the English-speaking population. Their conversations, life events, and other narratives provide
abundant cultural and factual information on the United Kingdom, the United States of
America, and Australia (see page 19 of this Guide information on the main characters of the
storyline).
The five basic skills; listening, spoken production. spoken interaction, reading, and writing, are
presented in each unit. The units are built around particular themes. Each unit contains the
following sections: Recalling Vocabulary (only in Module 1 Plus), Presentation Dialogue,
Communication Practice, Grammar Practice, Pronunciation, Developing Skills (called
Developing Oral Skills only in Module 1 Plus), Vocabulary Work (only in modules 2 Plus and
3 Plus), and Unit Self-Test.

Recalling Vocabulary: This section is included only in Module 1 Plus and aims at recycling
vocabulary that the students have already learnt in primary school. The lexical items are
introduced through listening activities, games, songs, and puzzles.

Presentation: Each unit generally opens with a dialogue involving the characters of the
module. The main characters are all in their early teens but there are also some young adults.
Most of the main characters are English, but some are American, Scottish, Jamaican, and
Australian (see page 19 for information on the main characters of the storyline).
Each dialogue introduces new functions and notions in a natural context of language and
culture. The dialogue also illustrates the unit theme and presents much of the vocabulary,
expressions, and structures practised in the unit. The complete dialogues are recorded on the class
CDs and student’s CDs, with background noise and without pauses first; they are then presented
with pause to allow students to repeat at the lines of the dialogue. From time to time a listening
purpose has been introduced to maintain the student's attention. Students have to listen carefully
to complete the dialogue or understand what one of the speakers says.
Each dialogue is accompanied by one or more coloured illustrations which:
 give a general idea of the situation (action, characters, events);
 communicate the meaning of some key utterances
 illustrate various cultural aspects.
Suggestions for using the dialogue illustrations in pre-listening activities such as predicting,
forming hypotheses, and exchanging information are given in the notes to each unit contained in
this Teacher's Guide. Important elements of the dialogues are isolated and practised in the
Communication Practice section. In this way, the dialogues are the first steps in oral skill
development.

Communication Practice: In this section students practise the functions and the structures
which are the objectives of the unit. Each activity is constructed around a task involving one or
more of the five skills (understanding the spoken language, spoken production, spoken
interaction, reading, and writing). The skills are therefore practised in an integrated manner that
is they are not isolated but coordinated. In almost all cases, the activities are carried out by
students working in pairs (pair work) or in groups (group work). Most of the activities ate
constructed with an information gap between the students in the pair or group. This makes it
possible to carry out the activity in a context which is very much like that of a real situation of
communication, and students can use the language according to their own abilities.
Communicative situations are clarified by and built up with pictures, maps, timetables, charts,
and other visual devices.

Classroom atmosphere
Teachers should remember that the main aim of the section called Communication Practice is
to develop students' oral production skills. Speaking is a very complex skill and is sometimes
neglected. Students require not only knowledge of the vocabulary and the grammatical system
but, above all, confidence in themselves in order to fulfill the simplest objectives in oral
language.
To build up this confidence, students need to practise vocabulary and grammatical structures,
but they should also be encouraged to develop "interaction skills". These skills concern what
they want to say, how they say it, how they develop their speech according to what the other
people say, how they maintain relationships with other people. Therefore, the activities in this
section should be carried out in a relaxed atmosphere. Teachers should not be too concerned
about the inevitable mistakes that students make when they speak to each other at this stage.
Only if students have the chance to speak freely without the anxiety of constantly being judged
by the teacher will they take a turn in the conversation.
Of course at the beginning they will be shy, but as time goes by they will acquire confidence in
themselves and build up oral fluency.

Grammar Practice: In this section the most important grammatical structures are dealt with in
Italian in a simple manner and with limited use of technical language. Particular attention has
been paid to the rules which govern the use of the grammatical structures in daily life.
Each grammatical point is immediately followed by one to more written exercises
concentrating on the structures, vocabulary, and communicative functions presented. Teachers
may choose to assign this section as homework. These exercises may also be used for student self
evaluation.
The content of this section must never be used for testing learning. The aim of exposing
students to the rules is to provide them with a reminder when necessary. Comprehending and
learning the mechanisms of the language must follow naturally from the activities students carry
out in class. It is useful, however, that students, with the help of the teacher, reflect upon the
language at some point in the teaching unit.
Some examples of such teacher-guided inductive procedure are given in this Teacher's Guide.

Developing Skills: This section in Module 1 Plus is called Developing Oral Skills. It aims at
practising and developing oral production and comprehension so that, at the end of the module,
students will immediately be able to take exams in order to obtain European Certifications at
level A1 .
In Modules 2 Plus and 3 Plus, this section allows students to apply and consolidate their
knowledge. Activities include listening comprehension, note taking, many reading passages
(usually accompanied by pre-reading and post reading tasks), open dialogues, interviews, role
plays, problem solving activities, crosswords, word puzzles, songs and writing tasks. The
listening activities and reading passage in this section present a richer vocabulary than that of the
opening dialogue and Communication Practice section. However, exercises related to the
readings do not generally require the use of a dictionary and are well within the reach of the
students' active abilities. From the outset, the course exposes students to spoken and written
language that is a little more complex than the language they are able to produce. The use of
authentic language versus restricted language encourages students to draw upon their native
abilities and use inference and deduction to acquire overall meaning rather than learn the
language word by word.
Particular emphasis has been placed on writing personal letters and guiding students to
summary writing. From the very beginning, students arc guided in the use of the most common
connectors in written discourse, understanding a text by distinguishing the main ideas from
details, organizing discourse according to a logical or temporal sequence.

European certifications and portfolio dossiers: Every unit includes practice in the five skills.
Emphasis on reading and writing increases as students consolidate and refine their listening and
speaking skills. This will allow students to take exams in order to get European Certifications at
level A1 and A2.
The activities which are especially structured to train students to external examinations are
marked with a yellow star.

A special symbol lE~ marks all the activities which can be inserted in each student's Portfolio.
These activities also include those in the section Unit Self-Test. This way the students build up
their dossiers with evidence of the level they have reached in all the language skills. At the end
of each sub-module, a section called "Build up your Portfolio" has been included with sugge-
stions for supplementary activities which students can include in their Portfolios.

Pronunciation: This section contains pronunciation exercises which should be carried out in
class with the teacher. These exercises concentrate on areas of pronunciation, intonation, and
stress that many teachers know are difficult for Indonesian students of English. For example,
exercises on word stress and sentence stress, exercises on the difference ty- and -teen the
numerals, etc.

Vocabulary work: This section is only in Modules 2 Plus and 3 Plus. It recycles lexical items
already presented in the unit. It also aims at enriching lexical areas and at giving students insi-
ght into word formation.
Songs: Several songs appear in the modules. The songs are a mixture of traditional American
and British folk songs and pop songs. The appeal of music to teenage learners is obvious;
students use the music to practise rhythm and stress, to acquire new vocabulary and expressions,
to use known language in a new context, and to have fun. The class CDs and the student's CDs
contain two versions of the songs. The version with the singers and the musical
accompaniment is followed by a version with the musical backtrack without the voices of the
singers. This allows the students to sing and/or record their voices with a musical
accompaniment.
Many of the traditional songs are excellent starting points for research projects about the times
when the songs were popular. Some songs lend themselves to discussions and essays on feelings,
leisure-time activities, personal preferences, and the creation of new lines or verses. Most
important, let the music act as a “break” in the daily routine. Let students enjoy themselves and
learn the songs they really like. Some songs have also been included in the Workbooks.
Unit Self-Test: This section is divided into three parts.
In the first part, students have to accomplish a writing task.
In the second part, called Record your voice, the students find suggestions to make recordings
(summaries, songs, descriptions, poems, dialogues, etc). This is particularly important for
students to get more practice in speaking about a particular topic, as specifically requested by
Examining Boards authorized to issue European Certifications.
The activities in these two parts are also intended to make students aware both of what they
have learnt in the unit and of the progress they have made.
The materials produced by the students in these two parts can be included in their Portfolios.
The third part, called Active Vocabulary, contains all the new words that students have learnt in
the dialogues and the Communicative Practice Section.

Self Evaluation Tests: Self evaluation tests are provided at the end of each sub-module.

Glossary: A glossary containing all the vocabulary actively practised in the units is placed at
the end of each module. Following each word you will find the pronunciation specified
according to the International Phonetic Alphabet, the equivalent word in Italian in the same
context, and the number of the unit in which the word appears for the first time.

Irregular verbs: A list of the most common irregular verbs presented in the course appears at
the end of each module.

The Teacher's Guide contains:


• an introduction to the course;
• a language breakdown:
• teaching procedures;
• a questionnaire in Indonesian (only in Module A Plus)
• an entry test (only in Module A Plus);
• a series of tests for each sub-module complete with solutions;
• two evaluation charts for oral production;
• lesson plans for each unit.
• the tape scripts of all recorded material (including the extra listening activities an the
Workbooks);
• the keys to the exercises in the Students Books.

Language breakdown: A language breakdown for each unit is provided in this Teacher's
Guide. It contains the communicative functions with their related linguistic exponents, the
grammatical structures, the lexical items, the topics and the pronunciation and intonation
patterns presented and activated in each unit.

Teaching procedures: Suggestions on how to organize and develop the various steps of the
teaching unit are given in detail.

Questionnaire: The questionnaire aims at finding out both whether students have any previous
experience in learning English and what kind of motivation they have to study that foreign
language.

Testing: A series of tests is provided at the end of each sub-module to evaluate student’s
progress. The first is an Entry Test aiming at evaluating the level of knowledge reached by
students who have already studied English at primary school. The tests are divided into:
• Listening comprehension
• Oral production
• Reading comprehension
 Written production
• Language structures and functions
 Cultural awareness
• Examination practice.

A CD-ROM containing the tests for the Way Points language courses is provided so that teachers
can choose and change exercises as they wish, and then print their personalized tests.

Evaluation charts for oral production: Two evaluation charts to assess the oral production of
each student are provided. The teacher can use the charts to evaluate the students during an oral
interview.

Lesson plans: In the lesson plans, teachers can find suggestions on how to exploit the
possibilities offered by the course. There are ideas for warm-up activities, review, activities; for
reinforcement and improvement. There are also special notes for teachers concerning cultural or
linguistic aspects. Additional activities and exercise for the development of the various skills
are given when appropriate. Finally, there are the tape scripts for the recorded material and the
keys to the exercises.

Multimedia Material
The course includes class and students material.
CLASS MATERIAL
Class audio CDs: The voices of teenagers and adults speaking their native language provide
authentic spoken language. The CDs contain all the dialogues, pronunciation exercises, open
dialogues, listening comprehension activities, reading passages (for Module 2 Plus and 3 Plus),
songs with backing tracks for karaoke singing, extra listening materials linked to the activities
in the workbooks, and the listening comprehension tests given in the Teacher’s Guide. The CDs
are a valuable: tool for listening and speaking exercises.
All sound material has been recorded by professional British and American actors at The Sound
House Studio, in London. Producer: James Richardson.

STUDENT'S MATERIAL
Student's audio CDs including;
• all the dialogues recorded twice: once with background noises and a second time without
background noises and with pauses to allow students to repeat the lines of the dialogues;
• pronunciation exercises;
• listening material linked to that activities in the Workbooks:
• songs with backing tracks for karaoke singing.

Three CD-ROMs (one for each Module) containing:


• Build up your Portfolio
• the video of London Adventures
• three musicals from the book Sing and Act with Musicals. For further information see
page 14 of this Guide.
The Workbooks contain about 350 supplementary written exercises, and more than 61 listening
activities linked to the student's recorded material.

Supplementary material for extra practice in the classroom or at home are available.

A video: London Adventures, with a related Activity Book.

A CD-ROM containing the video London Adventures and various activities as in the CD-
ROMs for the students (see page 14 of this Guide). It is also accompanied by an Activity Book
for extra practice.

Two sets of 288 Communication Cards (Only in Modules 2 Plus and 3 Plus): these cards aim at
improving the communication abilities of students. They work in pairs carrying out
communication tasks. Each task, based on the information gap principle, is carried out with
two cards, A and B. Only part of the information needed is contained in each card so that
students have to ask question and give answers to complete the task. Two tasks have been
provided for each unit. There are 12 cards for Task I and 17 cards for Task 2, so that a whole
class of 24 students can practise in pairs at the same time.

A book with two audio CDs: Sing and Act with Musicals. A collection of six short musicals
written and produced by Guido Cataldo and Janet Shelly. The language structures and the
vocabulary of the six musicals follow the syllabus of the Way Points language courses. In
particular, the musicals Cinderella and The Jungle Book are based on the syllabus of the first
year, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and King Arthur and The Knight of Round Table are
based on the syllabus of the second year, The Taming of the Shrew and A Christmas Carol are
based on the syllabus of the Third year.
Sing and Act with Musicals is composed of a Student's Book and a Teacher's Guide.

The Student's Book is richly illustrated and contains the scripts and the scores of the six
musicals and two audio CDs. The two audio CDs contain the musicals sung and acted by a
group of teenagers.

The Teacher's Guide contains:


- an introduction on how to use the musicals
- a description of the characters
- detailed production notes and drawings for sceneries, costumes and props
- language notes, and teaching suggestions
- two audio CDs containing the backing tracks of the musicals to allow students to sing with a
musical accompaniment.

Extra activities on the Internet: students can also connect to the Zanichelli site on the Internet
and enjoy during English language activities linked to Way Points.

www.zanichelli.it/zte is a website of interactive tests with specific activities for Way Points
Plus. Students can train and lest their level of knowledge and competence of the English
language. Teachers can change and personalize test; and build up a personal test-bank.

www.zanichelli.it/happening is an information and topical issues site updated every two weeks.
It allows students to integrate their knowledge of the English speaking world and culture with
recent events and news.

Teaching procedures
Each teaching unit, which is usually completed in three or four lessons, consists of five stages:
1. Presentation (Recalling Vocabulary and Dialogue)
2. Oral Practice
(Communication Practice)
3. Grammar and Written Practice
(Grammar Practice)
4. Expansion (Developing Skills)
5. Self Evaluation and Testing (Unit Self-Test).

1. Presentation Stage
This stage is very important because it is the first time the linguistic material students must learn
is presented. For false beginners, each unit in the Module 1 Plus starts with the section Recalling
Vocabulary. In this section, students are guided in their efforts to recall and reuse the lexical
items needed for the functions and structures contained to the unit.
The vocabulary and the structures are then contextualized in a dialogue. It is imperative that
students clearly understand from the outset what is presented.
Teachers may adopt various techniques, and the expert teacher is able to select the most suitable
according to the type of material he/she is using and his/her teaching situation. The techniques
described here have been tested by the authors and many other experienced teachers over many
years of teaching. Nevertheless, the techniques we suggest may be varied and adapted to fit
various teaching situations.

a) Pre-listening activities
Since language always depends on the situation the speakers are in, before asking students to
listen to the recorded dialogue, the teacher should help them recognize and consider the various
elements of the situation of communication. Teachers may ask questions such as: Who it
speaking? Who is he or she speaking to? Where are the speakers? What do you think they are
talking about? What relationship is there between the speakers?
This can be done from the very first lesson with the help of the illustrations and using the
students' mother tongue. Precisely for this reason, some of the illustrations have been made large
enough to visualize the overall situation clearly and easily transmit cultural information. It is
obvious that English can be used more frequently as students progress in learning.
There are many levels of interpretation in “reading” a picture. Four levels of speculation are
suggested here:
 What is seen in the picture.
• What is known about the setting and the characters.
 What can be inferred.
• What can be hypothesized

What is seen in the picture


At this level of comprehension, the students' task is to identity the components of the picture.
Questions may be Who/What can you see? How many people are there? What are they
wearing? What colour.., etc. The teacher can also try to discuss cultural aspect for example the
sorts of houses shown. It is better not to provide too many explanations, although some
comparisons and contrasts can be made between the British way of life and the culture of the
students' country. By looking at the picture carefully, students can better understand not only the
foreign culture, but also their own.

What is known about the setting and characters


When proceeding to the other pictures accompanying the dialogues in the course book,
students should recognize features they have already met; people, objects, places,
relationships between people, people and places, people and objects etc.

What can be inferred


At this stage students can be guided in their attempts to infer relationships between
people, people and objects, and people and actions.

What can be hypothesized


This stage is not really very different from the above. However, it is slightly more
challenging. The teacher may ask students to make hypotheses about relationships
between elements in the picture and what can be outside of the picture.
The last two stages are very important in developing the creative ability of students.
The ability to make hypotheses is an essential thinking skill that needs to he practised in
both the foreign language and the mother tongue.
The specific aims of the four stages are:
• to present the general situation;
• to set the scene:
• to give a general idea of the story:
• to present the cultural environment;
• to recall known vocabulary and structures;
• to present new vocabulary and structures;
• to predict events;
• to encourage creativity.
These activities with pictures are most productive if they take place in friendly
atmosphere. This encourages students to speculate quite freely so that even shy students
will want to contribute. Examples of how this stage can be conducted are given in the
lesson plans.
Pre-listening can also be carried out by trying to focus the students' attention on one or
more key points in the dialogue. The teacher can, for example, write questions on the
black-board before asking students to listen to the dialogue, and ask them to answer these
after listening. Occasionally, listening purposes are given before the dialogue. Of course,
the questions will be in the students' mother tongue during the initial stage.

b) Listening
Students listen to the dialogue once or twice without pauses and then discuss the answers
to the listening purposes given in the book or by the teacher.

c) Predicting the utterances of the dialogue


The teacher may ask students to reconstruct the utterances of the dialogue asking questions
such as: Who speaks first? What does he/she say? Then, the students listen to the actual
utterance in confirm or reject their hypotheses. The teacher stops the CD player and asks
other questions like: What do you think Eddy will answer? and students provide suitable
answers. The teacher plays the CD player again. Then he/she asks other questions to elicit
all the other utterances of the dialogue. It is important that students listen to each utterance
after they have made a series of hypotheses.
This procedure is used to encourage students to predict most or the utterances contained
in the dialogue. The teacher must accept all of the students’ predictions, provided they are
appropriate to the situation of communication. This is to ensure that shy students are not
discouraged from mentioning their predictions when these are continually rejected by the
teacher.

d) Listening and repetition


Students listen to the dialogue with pauses and repeat the utterances. When students repeat the
dialogue for the first time it is advisable that they do not see the written version, in order to avoid
interference due to the discrepancies between sounds and their written symbols.
If teachers consider it useful, they can ask the class to repeat the utterances in chorus, then in
groups of students (for example whole rows) and finally individually.
When, interference from the written text is reduced to a minimum, students can repeat the
utterances by reading from their books.

e) Reading out loud


Reading out loud should be done by groups of students either at the same time or one after the
other. Each member of a group reads out loud the utterances of one character.

f ) Reconstruction of the dialogue


The reconstruction of the dialogue must obviously be carried out with books closed. The teacher
asks question; to help students reconstruct the dialogue: Who speaks first? What does he/she
say? How does Susan answer? What happens now? etc.

g) Dramatization
At this point, the dialogue will have been memorized by almost all the students, who will
therefore be able to act it out. This is always extremely interesting and fun for students, and it
would be a pity to dedicate only a short time to this activity. If the lesson is almost over, it
would be better to postpone this activity until the following lesson thus giving all students, even
the slowest enough time to memorize the entire dialogue at home.
It is advantageous to use "props”, if the students have them available where necessary (the
teacher or the students can procure them). Other students not directly involved in the activity in
question can provide background noise (a doorbell ringing, a door opening, etc.), or they can act
as "extras'". The whole activity should be carried out in a lively playful atmosphere in order to
reassure stage-shy "actors", and also encourage shy students. The teacher should coordinate the
activities, but also be able to remain in the background at the right time and, when necessary,
suggest forgotten lines. He/she should avoid correcting students. Correcting can be done after
the acting is over.

2. Oral Practice Stage (Communication Practice)


In this stage, the functions and structures presented in the dialogue are practised intensively,
usually with new lexical items. Each activity is highly visible and clearly reveals the kind of
communicative function it exercises so that students can immediately become aware of the real
use of the utterances they produce during practice. Moreover, in these activities there is always
some kind of information gap where one speaker will not know what the other speaker will
answer, and vice versa. Occasionally, participants have to communicate about their personal
experience. These activities are of fundamental importance for the success of the course. Not
only do students practise listening and speaking, but they also exercise skills such as organizing
oral and written discourse, predicting language, negotiating meaning and correcting each other
mistakes.
Almost all the activities should be aimed out in pairs on groups. Working in pairs or in groups
helps solve the problem of lack of time for individual student production and comprehension
practices. The class is divided into pairs and the teacher assigns letters A and R to the member of
each pair. All pairs work simultaneously and at the end of the activity, the two members
exchange roles so that each student can, for example, ask and answer questions. If the class has
an odd number of students, the teacher can pair up with the odd students and take part in the
activity. The seating arrangement of the class should be change frequently so that students can
change partners.
During these activities the teacher should take the role of monitor. He/she can walk around the
classroom, listen to the pairs of students, and make necessary corrections. Often, however, the
partners themselves will correct each other.
The teacher might, from time to time, follow another procedure. He/she can walk around the
classroom, listen to the pairs of students, and note down any mistakes they might be making.
After the activity has been completed, the teacher may go over the mistakes noted beforehand
with the whole class.

This type of activity has the advantage not only of setting all students involved simultaneously,
but also of amusing boredom caused by listening to the same exercise repeated over and over
again. One might object that practice is rendered less effective by the fact that all the students
are talking at the same time. However, this rarely happens. Students get used to lowering their
voices almost immediately because they realize that yelling does not help, but only causes
other students to raise their voice as well. Sometimes, when the activity is over in a few verbal
exchanges, it might be a good idea to substitute a chain exercise for pair work: student A asks a
question to student B who answers. The latter than asks the same question to student C who
answers and then asks the question to student D, and so on.
Group work is also interesting and useful; it is carried out in the same way as pair work. It is
often necessary for the group (usually a small group of 3 or 4 students) to select a group leader
who will report the results of his/her group work to the class. An important characteristic of
this kind of activity is that students are asked to collaborate actively. They themselves must
provide the necessary information thus giving the exercise a touch of the personal information
unknown to the partner. This justifies the verbal exchanges and makes them similar to those
occurring in real situations of communication.
An information gap is introduced into almost all oral activities.

3. Grammar and Written Practice (Grammar Practice)


Students should start from real linguistic experience to discover how the language they are
learning works. These experiences lead students to consciously make use of the linguistic
materials. Afterwards, with the guide of the teacher, they can make generalizations about the
basic structures they have already met. This is best done through a guided inductive method
that allows students to "discover" rule through discussion with their teacher and classmates.

The main characteristics of this procedure are:


a) Discussion must take plan after a certain amount of practice on the linguistic material dealt
with, and not before. The teacher is usually advised to conduct discussion either after work on
the dialogue has been completed or after the Communication Practice stage. Of course, teachers
are free to carry this out even later. for example at the end of the teaching unit.
b) It must be the students who "discover" the rule and not the teacher who explains it; this
procedure is based on the pedagogical principle according to which learning by discovery last
longer. Of course, the role of the teacher is more delicate than the tradition generally allows,
he/she becomes, that is a “solicitor of knowledge" and no longer the "depository of
knowledge".

In the section Grammar Practice, each grammatical note is immediately followed by some
written exercises included in order to apply the rule. The new structures are isolated and com-
pared to the corresponding mother tongue structures. The notes that follow are simple and are
limited to essential aspects. All fine distinctions not to be found in the actual use of the langua-
ge at any given stage have been artfully avoided. Grammatical terminology is limited to the
strictly necessary.

This section has several basic aims:


• to provide a series of exercises to apply the rules;
• to make it possible for students to concentrate further on the working of the language;
• to give any students, who for some reasons, were not present during the discussion on
the language, the possibility of understanding certain mechanisms of the language on their
own.

Teacher should remember that the content of this section must never be used for test learning.

4. Expansion (Developing Skills)


This section represents the transfer stage, where all the linguistic material presented earlier in
the unit is made use of again, together with the material learned in previous units. Students
carry out language activities within the scope of the main language skills, listening, spoken
production, spoken interaction, reading and writing.

a) Listening activities
There are many listening activities in all the units. At this point, listening is of an extensive
kind which is very similar, therefore, to the way we listen during a conversation or to the radio,
for example. At this stage, of course, vocabulary and structures are not strictly controlled, but it
is not necessary for the students to understand every single word of what they are listening to;
they must instead grasp the global meaning or be guided toward concentrating only on some
elements present in the text. The task of the student is therefore reduced but his/her interest in
listening is held high because what he/she is asked to do while listening. The task is never too
difficult, so the student is reassured that her/she will be able to face it, and will have the
satisfaction of being able to carry it out.

b) Speaking activities
These activities aim at developing students’ oral production through recall of linguistic
material learned previously. Productions stimulated by involving students in simulations during
which they exchange roles, or discussion to be carried out in the class.
There are open dialogues, interviews, problem solving activities, crosswords, word puzzles,
and songs.
There are also many games, some of which stress competitiveness as a means of stimulating oral
production, while others require verbal corporation reach the objective of the game.
Open dialogues are also useful. They usually focus on the functions presented in the teaching unit.
An advisable to encourage students to give “true” answers using the appropriate vocabulary and
structures. At the beginning of the course, the teacher is advised to give an example before the
activity begins. He/she will play the recording and supply the appropriate utterances during the
pauses. Then, a few students can be asked to do the same.
The songs are also very useful. First, the teacher plays the recording and students
listen to the song. Then he/she reads the text, explains the meaning, and ask students
to practise pronouncing the words line by line. The teacher then plays the song again
and asks students to sing along with the recording. The teacher should sing with the
students, encouraging the shy ones to sing in the chorus. Dedicating, from time to time,
the last five or ten minutes of the lesson to a song is an excellent way to conclude a
lesson in which students have concentrated on exercises, leaving them in a good mood,
more eager than ever to begin another lesson. Motivation and pleasure are worth a
hundred exercises!

c) Reading activities
Written texts are always accompanied by some kinds of activities. These activities
take into consideration the various kinds of reading each of us engages in during our
everyday life. In fact, the way we read is influenced essentially by our reasons for
leading and by the kind of text we are reading. If we want to know what time a
television programme will be broadcast, for example, we look through the text
rapidly, the text in this case being a TV guide, until we find the place that interests us;
this kind of reading is called "scanning-. Other kinds of text can be read in this way
too. We can also scan a text to fine, for example, a date or a name that interests us in a
newspaper article. Another technique, known as "skimming", is adopted when we are
reading a text quickly in order to find out if it is of interest to us and if it is worth
reading more carefully.
It is important that students become accustomed to using these techniques right from
the start. Therefore, various activities of this type are found in the course book,
together with other activities aimed at helping students understand the meaning of the
various texts, select the main ideas of the texts first, and then of the various
paragraphs, classify details, understand difficult words, etc.
These activities accompanying the text are often placed before the text they refer to
and students must carry them out while reading. This differs from the usual technique
of presenting a list of questions at the end of the passage. The questions at the end
only check comprehension of the passage itself, whereas the activities to be carried out
before reading or while reading help students understand the passage. It is clear,
therefore, why we have given precedence In this kind of activity. However, many
questions are also included to check comprehension.

d) Writing activities
The written activities in this section are for written discourse beginners. Students
must be trained to organize a written text which, at this level, consists of a letter, a
brief a brief report or a summary. The exercises are graded and begin with the
organization of the sentence and go on to the organization of paragraph, within a
complete text. To do this, the most common logical syntactic connectors have been
introduced quite early. Later, the activities take into account the organization of the
sentence to finally reach organization of paragraph within a complete text. Since the
beginning, students are asked to write chart short personal letters and brief reports.
Summary is also dealt with using techniques which help the student distinguish more
important ideas from details, in a written text.

e) Pronunciation
This section is dedicated to pronunciation and must be carried out in the classroom
with the teachers help. The pronunciation exercises concentrate on areas of
pronunciation, intonation and stress that Indonesian students of English find
particularly difficult. For example, particular attention has been paid to:
- [σ ] and [ζ ] sounds (voiceless and voiced) in plural nouns and third person
singular of the simple present;
pronunciation of -teen and -ty in number endings;
[Ω ] sound at the end of the word;
[δ ], [τ ], [ι δ ] sounds in past tenses;
[ ], [∂ ] sounds;
[η ] sound at the beginning of a word;
pronunciation of the sound [ρ ]
word tress and sentences;
intonation it question tags;
linking sounds;
full and reduced forms of words.

5. Self evaluation (Unit Self Test)


In this section, students should become aware of what they have learnt in the unit. There are
two kinds of activities relating to the functions, structures, and vocabulary learnt: written
activities and self recording activities during which students record their voices while
speaking in English.

a) Written activities
These activities aim at helping students recognize the functions studied and relate these to
appropriate utterances. Most of the activities consist of matching functions and utterances,
writing dialogues, following instructions and writing dialogues following descriptions of
situations.

b) Record your voice


This is an activity that each student should carry out at home with a cassette recorder. The aims
of this new activity are firstly to have the student product oral language at his/her own pace,
making mistakes, correcting the mistakes at his/her convenience, and secondly to build up a
sense of achievement and self confidence, which is essential for success. Moreover, this activity
should be of great value both for the teacher and the student, because, after a period of time,
each student will have enough of his/her own material to compare and verify the progress
he/she has made in the oral production of the language. The teacher, from time to time, can
collect the cassettes to evaluate the progress of each individual student.
Both the written materials and the recorded texts produced by the students can also be inserted
in their own Portfolios. The recorded texts represent a tangible evidence of what the students
can produce orally.

c) Active vocabulary
This is a list of the new words presented in the dialogues and in the Communication Practice
section of each unit. Words are classified as noun, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc.

Entry Questionnaire
This questionnaire is only in Module 1 Plus. It is in Indonesian because it is addressed to
students al the beginning of the first school year. The questionnaire is included to find out:
• whether the student studied English in primary school;
• whether the student knows about the English speaking world;
• whether the student is motivated to learn English and to appreciate the culture of English
speaking peoples.

This questionnaire is given on page 21 of the Teacher's Guide for Module 1 Plus. It may be
dictated or photocopied.

Tests
An Entry Test (only for Module 1 Plus) and four series of other tests have been provided at the
end of each Teacher's Guide.

Entry Test
This test is addressed to students who have already studied English at primary school. It aims
at evaluating the level of knowledge reached by students at the beginning of the first school
year. This entry test is given on page 86 of the Teacher Guide for Module 1 Plus. It may be
photocopied and distributed to all students.

Test 1-12
There is a series of tests for each sub-module. They aim at testing not only the linguistic
material in each sub-module, but also recycled material from previous sub-modules. Should the
teacher wish to use them, he/she is authorized to make photo-copies for the students.
Each series consists of various types of tests.

Some aim at testing oral and written receptive and productive skills. Others aim at testing the
learning of grammatical structures, functions, and vocabulary. Finally, there are tests which aim
at verifying the students' knowledge of the serious aspects of British and American culture
contained in the course.
However, teachers should always remember that they are not only testing students’ abilities but,
above all, finding out whether what was intended to be taught has in fact been learned. The
results of these tests will help teachers decide if students are ready to begin another sub-module
or if some revision is necessary. Each series of tests includes an extra session called
Examination Practice especially structured to train students to external examinations in order to
obtain European Certifications at an elementary level,

A CD-ROM containing all the tests (for Module 1 Plus, 2 Plus, 3 Plus) is provided together with
this Guide. Teachers can choose and change exercises in Microsoft Word format as they wish,
and then print their personalized tests.

a) Listening comprehension tests


There are twelve series of listening tests. These listening tests are recorded on the Class audio
CDs and precisely at the end of the following units' recordings:
Listening Test 1 (Test 2) end of Unit 1c
Listening Test 2 (Test 3) end of Unit 4
Listening Test 3 ('test 4) end of Unit 7
Listening Test 4 (Test 5) end of Unit 10
Listening Test 5 (Test 6) end of Unit 13
Listening Test 6 (Test 7) end of Unit 16
Listening Test 7 (Test 8) end of Unit 19
Listening Test 8 (Test 9) end of Unit 22
Listening Test 9 (Test 10) end of Unit 25
Listening Test 10 (Test 11) end of Unit 28
Listening Test 11 (Test 12) end of Unit 31
Listening Test 12 (Test 13) cud of Unit 34

Tape-scripts of the tests can be found in the section KEY TO TESTS and detailed notes on how
to use them are given in the lesson plans.

b) Oral production test


The tests consist of interviews, communication tasks, open dialogues, role plays, etc.
Two evaluation charts for oral production are included. They have been printed on page 20 for
teachers to photocopy. The first chart can be used for a general assessment of the student
production during the course of the oral test. The second chart is more specific and features a
points system whereby the teacher can give each student a mark according to the total number
of points he/she receives during the test.

c) Language structures and function tests


These tests aim at checking grammar, functions, and vocabulary. They can he photocopied and
distributed to students.
d) Written production tests
These tests regard composition of letters, dialogues, and summaries.

e) Reading comprehension tests


Passages and activities relating to test reading comprehension are printed in this Teachers Guide.
These passages may be photocopied and distributed to students.

f) Tests to check student’s knowledge of culture


These tests consist mainly of questionnaires in Indonesian or in English which aim at checking
student’s knowledge of the British and American ways of life.

g) Examination Practice
These tests are especially structured to prepare students for external examinations in order to
obtain (European Certifications at an elementary level.

CD-ROMs for the students


One CD-ROM comes with each of the three volumes of Way Points Plus Yellow Edition
Each CD-ROM has three interactive sections presenting, year by year, up-to-date material and
new activities. Complementing the course material presented in the book, the CD-ROM
provides a natural multimedia integration of the learning experience:
• Build up your Portfolio
• London Adventures
• Sing and Act with Musicals

BUILD UP YOUR PORTFOLIOS

An interactive tool helping students between the ages of 11 and 14 create their own language
Portfolio for English.

• A selection of specially chosen exercises lets students assess their language skills and
improve their learning strategies, after having truly understood their importance.
• All the material is graded following the skills and abilities developed throughout the course.
• All the activities can be performed interactively, with new content each year.
• An opportunity for the students to practise and measure themselves in a practical way by
completing exercises, listening to audio tracks, and watching videos.
• A way of integrating portfolio activities into a homogeneous teaching course.

STRUCTURE
This is the main part of the Portfolio where students reflect on their knowledge of the language
and become aware of their own achievement in the study of English.
It is divided into 5 sections that are easily accessed using the menu at the top.

Chi sono
A short autobiographical section where students enter personal data, the languages they know
and their favourite activities.

Cosa ho fatto
An opportunity to reflect on students' important language experiences, from intercultural
exchanges to writing to a pen-friend.

Cosa mi piaccrrbbc fare


A moment to consider what students would like to do with English and what abilities they will
need to develop.
On the basis of the preferences expressed by the students, this section automatically calculates
which are the most important skills and makes them more aware of the linguistic objectives they
can aim at.

Strategic per migliorare


On the basis of what students would like to do, the program proposes the fair skills of listening,
speaking, reading, and writing and then suggests three possible strategies that students can use to
improve each skill. To make this process more effective, students are not asked to passively fill
in a table on the strategies they use, but they are invited to complete two exercises for each
strategy before responding.
This approach, easy to accomplish with an interactive program, has several advantages:
• students are made aware of the strategies they are considering and are invited to give
answers bated on real experience, this section proposes 24 exercises, providing it further lear-
ning opportunity within the Portfolio activities
• students learn to approach exercises from the viewpoint of their usefulness within an
engaging learning experience.
Self-Evaluation
An activity suitable for the end of the school year. It presents 20 different abilities that students
have acquired during the course of study. Again this is not just filling in an arid form, but deals
with real abilities. For each ability, there are two exercises which must be completed before
students can reply.
• Through exercises and videos, students are invited to give answers that require practical work
and careful thought.
• Students perform a further 40 exercises.
While the activities and exercises change each year, progressively adapted to the level achieved,
they are always graded to match the pace of the course book and the European Common
Framework.
All the material produced by students can be printed and colleted in a ring binder.
The pages show the date when the work was printed. It is possible to return to the Biography
section throughout the years to update the material, adding new results, and experiences.

Dossier
Each CD-ROM includes an interactive project which requires reading, listening and writing
skills. The project can he performed at home or in the computer room at school. Following the
guided course, students progressively build up a document of several pages. This can then be
printed and kept in each student's personal Dossier as evidence of the work he or she has
produced.

• The activity can be carried out, step by step, over several days and printed once it has been
completed.
The course allows students to acquire new vocabulary and improve their listening, writing, and
reading skills while engaged in the creation of personal work which can be shown to the class
and parents.
The projects proposed:
• The Diamonds' Thief  CD 1 Plus
• Sports CD 2 Plus
• The Tower of London CD 3 Plus.
Passport
This part of the language Portfolio has been made as simple and intuitive as possible for students.
Thanks to the interactive program, in fact, students are guided through the levels of the Common
Framework of Reference, becoming familiar with it in an easy way without complicated tables.
Let’s look at the 4 units making up this section in more detail:

Personal Data
A short section where personal information is entered.
To save precious teaching time, the personal data already entered in the Biography section under
-
Chi sonri' is automatically carried over to this section. The page simply has to be completed.

Educational Background
In this section students keep record of their certificates and/or diplomas. To make it
easier to fill in, the more common certificates and relative levels are already shown.

Linguistic Experience
A concise table where students can enter the overall duration of their language
experiences.

Self-Evaluation
A grid where students enter the language level they have reached according to the
European Common Framework of Reference.

INTERACTION
In designing the CD-ROM we took particular care to provide students with a multimedia tool
as simple and intuitive as possible.
The interactive Portfolio reflects the metaphor of a ring binder, showing visually the aim of
collecting and saving their work.
The navigation bar at the top allows students to move from one section to another at any time
where they are at that moment.
It is not possible to reply to the questions until the interactive exercises have been completed.
In this way, students are able to understand the meaning of the descriptors and assess
themselves in a conscious manner.
You can move back and forth between successive pages within each section.
All the sections can be printed.

LONDON ADVENTURES
The London Adventures section contains various activities allowing students to interact with
the computer.

• Every time students complete an activity they are given immediate feedback and a reward.
• They can also record their voices, then listen and compare their pronunciation to that of a
native speaker.
• They can look up words in the Glossary, and check grammar rules in the Grammar section.
• The CD-ROM can be used to the classroom or at home.

The episodes are divided up into the three consecutive CD-ROMs.


Episode 1, 2  CD 1 Plus
Episode 3, 4, 5, 6  CD 2 Plus

Episode 7, 8, 9, 10  CD 3 Plus

STRUCTURE
The London Adventures section has two main parts:
Video
Here students can watch each episode of the film London Adventures and choose between
showing or hiding the subtitles. The Video section lets students access two subsections:
• Dialogues: students can listen to a selection of dialogue from the episode, one at a time.

• Dubbing: students can record their own voice and substitute one of the characters to
perform true interactive dubbing.

Activities

There are 11 Activities associated with each episode. These interactive exercises allow the
students to measure their own understanding and knowledge of the language structures
presented in the video. There are various types of Activities:
• Comprehension: exercises to test understanding of the dialogues.
• Grammar Check: grammar exercises.
• English Sounds pronunciation exercises.
• Reading comprehension exercises.
• Dictation: dictations.
For each episode there is also a Simulation where the students have to use English to
communicate in a real life situation.
Students who successfully complete the first 10 exercises of an episode of an episode earn
access to the Language game.
All the exercises involve interactive response mechanisms and the results are saved in a
medals cabinet

Three final sections complete the work:

Grammar
A collection of grammar notes, with explanations in Indonesian.
Glossary
All the vocabulary used in the dialogues of the videos are included in a glossary complete with
translation. Students can listen to the pronunciation of the words.
Help
All the functions of the program are explained in detail, in Indonesian, in the online guide -
just click on the Help button.

How to use the London Adventures section

1. After starting the program, choose the episode you want to watch from the index in the
opening screen.
2. Watch the film of the episode (Video section), first without subtitles and then again with
subtitles.
3. After watching the film, go to the two Dialogues and Dubbing and complete the activities.
Then go on to the exercises in the Activities section.
• The instructions for the exercise appear at the top left. Always read them carefully.
• When you successfully complete an exercise, you will be given a medal, and when
you finish all of them, you will be awarded a cup.
• You can look things up in the glossary and the grammar sections while you are
doing the exercises.
4. Then, move on to the next episode.
The CD-ROM can always be used freely. This may he useful to teachers who intend to use part
of the material in class, to show the videos or to present their students with only some of the
activities.

Guide to the use of buttons

The main buttons used to navigate and explore the CD-ROM are the following:

BACK to go back to the previous step.

INDEX to go to the events index.

H E L P to open the on-line guide.

EXIT to close the programme.


Three buttons appear automatically when the mouse is placed over the small bar situated at
the top left of the screen.
At any time, it is possible to consult the on-line guide by clicking on the label Help.

SING AND ACT WITH MUSICALS

This section of the CD-ROM presents a different musical each year. This can be staged by
fist class or used as the basis for further activities. For each musical, the students can:
• listen to all the audio files and read the text (provided with an interactive glossary).
• look at the score.
• see which characters are on stage.
• print all the material for use in class activities.

The musicals proposed:


• The Jungle Book  CD 1 Plus
• The Knights of the Round Table  CD 2 Plus
• The Taming of the Shrew  CD 3 Plus

INTERACTION
Again, we paid particular attention to providing students with a multimedia tool as simple and
intuitive as possible.
Using the buttons in the column on the left, the students can choose the scene they want to
view.
These buttons allow them to move on to the next page of the scene.
All the material can be printed.
For each scene, they can see:
• the text
• the score
• the characters.
They can change the volume at any moment.
With the player at the bottom, they can:
• listen to the songs
• stop playing at any point
• move quickly back and forth through the audio.

USEFUL INFORMATION ON USING THE CD-ROMs


How to use this CD-ROM for the first time
You must install the CD-ROM on your hard disk following the installation procedure.

To install the program you only have to launch the program Setup.exe present on the CD-
ROM.
The installation requires less than 1 MB of free space. You must have administrator privileges
to install under Microsoft windows 2000 or XP.
Warning
You only need to install one of the three CD-ROMs (for example the one that comes with
volume A Plus). There is no need to repeat the installation the following years. All the data
saved up to that time will be kept and you can access new material and activities simply by
inserting the new CD-ROM in the drive and starting it in the usual way.

Directory of Installation
The program presents a window where you can choose the directory where the CD-ROM will
he installed. Having chosen the installation directory, the program creates a subdirectory Way
Points Plus and the required directories and files are loaded. A link is also created in the start
menu.
Installing Quick Time
To see the videos included on the CD-ROM, you must install QuickTime (version 3.0 or
higher).
When installing, the CD-ROM will check to see whether a suitable version of QuickTime is
already present on the computer and, if necessary, propose installing it.

QuickTime is a free program which allows you to reproduce, view or interact with audio,
video, VR and graphics files. For more information visit the website:
http://www.apple.com/it/quicktime (Italian and English).

How to use the CD-ROM thereafter


After placing the CD-ROM in the appropriate drive, go to the start menu, select the group of
programs Zanichelli and click on Way Point Plus.

How to transfer your Portfolio data and completed work if you change computers
The first time you access a CD-ROM, you are asked to enter your name and surname. This
creates a directory on the computer hard disk within the data directory present in the directory
where the CD-ROM was installed. This directory, called name_surname (eg. Mario_rossi), is
where all your data and activities are saved.
To move your personal data to another computer you must copy the personal directory (eg.
Mario_rossi) from one PC to the other, again saving it in the data directory.
If several students have used the CD-ROM on the same computer, for example in the school
computer room, the data directory will contain several sub-directories with the data of the
different students.

Warning

The name of the directory with personal data corresponds to the name and surname typed in
when you accessed the CD-ROM the first time. If you later change your name or surname, the
directory on your hard disk with still be called by the name and surname you entered the first
time. The directory name can, however, be changed manually.

Further Information
Further information on how to use the three CD-ROMs and a brief guide to solving any
technical problems are found in the file Leggimi.rtf included on the CD-ROMs.

Competences (p.1/1)
Before starting Sub-module 1, ask students to read the series of objectives in terms of
competence that they should reach at the end of the sub-module. When students finish Unit 4
they can go back to the list of objectives and check what they can do and how well they can do
it.

Activities for Portfolio (p. 1/1)


Here the students find suggestions for activities they can do to develop materials for their

and girls learn to play musical instruments. The kids are having a break and are sitting on a
bench in the school courtyard. Give the class a moment to look at the pictures in their book, and
ask them questions in Indonesian to elicit the content of the dialogue. For example:

• Pensive she i due prnrrnaggi si coroscano gid r>,opurr r !n prima villa eke si
incaarunu?
• Di shenacicnalird'sensate sheslams SrwrneEddy? (Explain that Eddy is from Kingston in

predict the whole dialogue. Encourage them to try and guess the meaning of new words from the
situation.

5. Ask the class to repeat the dialogue line by line after the rereading, with books still closed.

6. Divide the class into two groups and assign each group a role. Still keeping books closed, ask
the groups to repeat the lines after the tape. Have the groups exchange roles.

7 . Wi th student’s books open, now play one role yourself and practise the dialogue several times
with different pairs of students. Encourage them to use gestures when saying, for example, It’s
time for the piano lesson or Wait a minute!

8. Students practise the dialogue in pairs. They can practise in groups when there are more than
two characters in a dialogue. Ask the students in each pair to exchange roles. Move around the
classroom and help them.

Grammar Practice

Following the "inductive method", it is important to point out that it must be the students who
"discover' and formulate the rule themselves. The main idea of the inductive procedure is the
important pedagogical principle according to which, what is the result of a discovery is kept in
our memory much longer than what is told to us. This can be done through a discussion invol-
ving the whole class. Some examples are provided here.
This is what the teacher could do to highlight the contrast between What’s your name? and
Siapa namamu?
Write on the board the word name and elicit the Indonesian equivalent from the students.
Say the sentence My name’s (Mario) and write it on the board. Discuss with the students the
difference between Nama saya (Mario) and My name’s (Mario). Students should notice that
there is to word for word correspondence between English and Idonesian.
Ask a student what his or her name is and write on the board Your name’s Giulia. Elicit the
difference between my and your.
This is how the teacher might help students understand how contractions are formed:

Teacher Vi ricordete cost rispnnde Eddy quando Susan ,yli chicle di dot Z?
Students I’m from Kingston.
Write on the board I’m from Kingston on the left side and I am from Kingston on the right
side.
Go on asking:
Teacher Cosa dice allora Swam?
Students Oh, you're Jamaican then?

Write on the board Oh, you're Jamaican! on the left side and Oh, you are Jamaican! on the
right side. Ask again:

Teacher Vi neord:de corn dice Eddy per spiegare time si from Kingston.
Students It’s in Jamaica.

Write on the board It’s in Jamaica on the left side and it is in Jamaica on the right side.

Tell the students that ‘m, ‘re, and ‘ s are the contracted forms of other words. Guide them to
guess the words am, are and is. Also tell them that contractions me very common in spoken
English.

Dialogue
1. Give the class a moment to look at the pictures in their books. Then help students
understand what is happening in the pictures. Ask them question in Indonesian (for the
first unit, then in English). Try to reconstruct the sequence of the story with the
students.
2. Play the CD. Books closed. Ask student Who’s Mr Carter?, Who’s Mrs Wilson?
3. Play the CD again. Use the recorded version with pauses. Help the students predict
what Susan, John, Edy, and Mrs Wilson will say. Help them by asking questions like
Who speaks first? What does he/she say? Then what happens? Play the first line of the
dialogue. Ask Who speaks next? Then ask students to guess what that person says.
Play the next line and do this with whole dialogue, asking the students to predict each
line of the dialogue. Encourage them to try to guess the meaning of new words from
the situation.
4. Ask the class to repeat the dialogue line by line after CD, with books still closed.
5. Divide the class into four groups and assign each group a role. Still keeping books
closed, ask the groups to repeat the lines after the CD. Change roles.
6. With student’s books open, now play one role yourself and practise the dialogue
several times with different pairs of students. Encourage them to use gestures when
saying, for example, Hello, Eddy! or Look, Eddy! That’s Mr Carter!
7. Group work. Students practice the dialogue in group of four. Ask each students in the
group to play every role once. Move around the classroom and help them.
8. After students have practiced the dialogue enough to know it thoroughly, ask for
volunteers to do role plays. Ask students to stand and greet each other. Ask several
groups of students to do the role play.

Puzzlers
1. Hello and Hi are used in informal conversation. Hello is generally used in United
Kingdom. Hi is now used both in the States and in the United Kingdom.
2. Tell student that in informal conversation either thanks or thank you can be used.
Thank you is more formal and can be used in formal situation as well.
3. Because the th sound is not found in Indonesian, it is a problem for some speakers.
Model correct placement of the tongue between the font teeth for pronouncing the th
sound. Ask students to practise these th words after you: thanks/ This is Eddy/ the/
That’s Mrs Wilson. Then ask them to repeat these phrases: Fine, thanks. / The
newsstand.

COLOURS
Preview
Game. Bring coloured chalks to the classroom. Put them on the teacher’s desk and lend them
up so that the students can see them. Then, name a colour and ask for volunteers to come and
pick up the right piece of chalk. Tell the student who picked the right chalk to go to the
blackboard and write the name of the colour. Let the other students correct the spelling or do
it yourself if necessary. Go on with the game until all the names of the colours have been
written on the blackboard.

Writing/listening (p.1/22)
1a/b. Tell the students to do the colour crossword on their own. Then, they listen to the

2. Sing a song. The song contains numbers 1-10 and names of colours. It also contains some
new vocabulary and structures which the students can understand and use globally, so it is not
necessary to explain them in depth. The pictures will have the students understand the
meaning of the actions.
Before playing the song, have the students repeat the text line by line, first in chorus then in
small groups. Then, play the song and let the students listen to it a couple of times before
asking them to sing along. Don’t force the students to sing. They can join in as soon as they
feel they are ready. This part of the lesson should be a welcome and enjoyable break from the
usual pattern.

Dialogue (p.1/23)
1. Tell the students that Susan, John, and Eddy are in the Media Room at the Hampstead
School of Music. They are preparing a poster for the Spring concert held every year at
the end of the spring term. Give the class a moment to look at the pictures in their
books and ask them questions in English and Indonesian to elicit the content of the
dialogue.

Point at Eddy in the first picture and ask:


Teacher Who’s he / that?
Students He’s / that’s Eddy.

Do the same with John and Susan. Then, point at Mrs Wilson and ask:
Teacher Who’s that?
Students That’s Mrs Wilson.
Teacher Is she the drums teacher?
Students No, she isn’t. She’s the piano teacher.

Then, go on asking questions in Indonesian.


• Quali apparecchiature nella classe?
• Mata pelajaran apa yang diajarkan di Media Room?
• Cosa sta facendo Eddy?
• Perche Susan ha in mano una foto?
• Dove deve essere messa la foto che Susan ha in mano?
• Cosa vedi sui banchi o sotto i banchi?
• A cosa servono le penne e I pennarelli

2. Tell the class that they will listen to the dialogue and will have to fill in the balloons
with the words and sentences they hear. Then, play the CD. Move around the
classroom and, if necessary, help the students with their task.
3. Play the CD again. Use the recorded version with pauses. Help the students predict
what Eddy and Susan will say. Help them by asking questions like Who speaks first?
What does she say?
Questions can be asked in Indonesian.
4. Play the first line of the dialogue. Ask Who speaks next? Then, ask students to guess
what that person says. Play the next line and do the same again with each line asking
the students to predict the whole dialogue. Encourage them to try and guess the
meaning of new words from the situation.
5. Ask the class to repeat the dialogue line by line after the recording, with books still
closed.
6. Divide the class into four groups and assign each group a role. Still keeping books
closed, ask the groups to repeat the lines after the CD. Have the groups exchange
roles.
7. With student’s books open, now play one role yourself and practise the dialogue
several times with different groups of students.
8. Students practise the dialogue in groups of four. Ask the students in each group to
exchange roles. Move around the classroom and help them.
9. After the students have practised the dialogue enough to know it thoroughly, ask for
volunteers to do the role play.

Build up your Portfolio (p.1/33)


1. How to prepare the activity
Ask students to bring their cameras to school and to take photos of the school building.
Some of them can also go around the classroom and take pictures of their teachers.
Then, ask some students to write on the blackboard the subjects they have chosen from the
ones listed in Activity C. [Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a subject
which teaches skills, concepts, processes involved in communicating and handling,
controlling and monitoring information. The aim is to generate and develop an
Information Communication technology capability that will enable children to use modern
technology and computers to their advantage in the technological world. It is a subject in
its own right and a subject which enables a student to enhance other curriculum areas.]
Check that they have chosen the right subjects and ask students to repeat the names of the
subjects after you. This way, students can learn the right pronunciation of the lexical
items.
At this point, ask students to prepare their own posters.
In one of the next lessons, dedicate the whole time to checking what students have
prepared. Make your own comments and listen to the comments of the class. Each student
will make a note of the suggestions and correct their posters accordingly.
Finally, students can decide whether to put their work in their Portfolios.

2. Skills on which the activity is based


The skills on which the activity is based are mainly reading and writing. But other skills
are also involved. For example, taking photographs, designing a layout, and if desired,
drawing.

3. Time required to complete the activity


Part of the activity can be done during the students’ free time (taking pictures of the
school and teacher).
About an hour is required to prepare the posters. Alternatively, students can prepare their
own posters as homework and bring them to school for discussion.

4. Level required
Students can do this activity after they have completed the Introductory Sub-module.

Learning Strategies (p.1/34)


This activity should be carried out in the classroom in pairs or groups with the help of the
teacher.
Students write down the words they already knew before they started the Sub-module and
those they have learned in the Sub-module. Then, they write a few sentences containing some
of these words. At this point, the teacher can ask students to read out loud the sentences they
have written and comment on them.

Competences (p.1/37)
Before starting Sub-module 1, ask students to read the series of objectives in terms of
competence that they should reach at the end of the Sub-module. When students finish Unit 4,
they can go back to the list of objectives and check what they can do and how well they can
do it.

Activities for Portfolio (p.1/37)


Here, the students find suggestions for activities they can do to develop materials for their
Portfolios.

THE ENGLISH ALPHABET


Listening/drawing (p.1/38)
1a/b. Tell the students that they have to listen to a recording and complete the English
alphabet on their books. They can write the missing letters with a pencil in the blank spaces.
Play the CD and move around the classroom to help the students, if necessary. Tell the
students that they can make the missing letters fancy by drawing and colouring them on their
own way. Then, the students are to repeat the alphabet all together and in small groups.
Lastly, ask individual students to repeat the alphabet in front of the class. Let the other
students correct them if they make mistakes.

THE TIME
Listening (P.1/38)
2a. The students listen, repeat the times after the CD player and number the clocks in their
books accordingly. Play the CD several times, if necessary, and check that the times have
been written in the correct sequence.
Tape-script and key:
1. 12 o’clock.
2. 4 o’clock.
3. 7 o’clock.
4. 5 o’clock.
5. 9 o’clock.

8. 10 o’clock.
9. 1 o’clock.
10. 2 o’clock.
11. 8 o’clock.
12. 6 o’clock.

2b. Tell the students they will listen to people telling times and will have to draw the hour
hands in the clocks in their books. Make sure that all the students can read the time on an
analogical clock. Then, play the CD. If you think that the pauses between the times are too
short for the students to draw the clock hands, stop the CD player. Then, the students write the
times in the blank spaces in their book.
Move around the classroom and check or have single students read the times out loud.
Tape-script and key:
1. 7 o’clock.
2. 5 o’clock.
3. 9 o’clock.
4. 11 o’clock.
5. 3 o’clock.
6. 10 o’clock.

Speaking (p.1/38)
3. The students work in pairs asking and telling the time according to the model dialogue.

Dialogue (p.1/39)
1. Tell the students to cover the text of the dialogue and look at the picture. Then, ask
them a few questions in English.
Teacher Who are those boys?
Students They’re Eddy and John.
Teacher Where are they?
Students They are at the bus stop.
Teacher Is there a bus in the picture?
Students Yes, there is.
Teacher What colour is it?
Students It’s red.
Go on asking questions in Indonesian.
• Apakah kamu pergi ke sekolah dengan menggunakan bus?
• Apakah bus yang ada dalam gambar sama dengan bus yang ada di kotamu?
• Apa perbedaannya?

2. Tell students to shut their books and listen to the recording of the dialogue. Play the
normal version of the dialogue. Then, ask the students a few questions in English to check
comprehension. Of course, this is only possible with false beginners. Ask the same
questions in Indonesian with real beginners.
• Do John and Eddy live in London?
• Where does John live?
• Where does Susan live?
• What’s the time?
• Is the bus late?
• What time does John have dinner?
Continue exploiting the dialogue. Use the techniques you have already used for the dialogues
in the previous units (see step 3-9, Unit 1A page 23 of this Guide).

the model dialogue. Then, in pairs students ask each other questions about where they live
and the spelling of the name of their streets.

Reading (p.1/42)
5. Let the students read the balloons in the picture. Then, draw a clock on the blackboard with
the hour hand on 5. Say it’s a quarter to five and ask a volunteer to come to the blackboard
and draw the minute hand.
Correct him/her if necessary. Then, ask other volunteers to come and draw the minute hands
for a quarter past five and half past five. Highlight the use of the prepositions to and past.
Then, ask other students to come and draw the hands for various times and ask them what
time it is until you are sure that everybody has understood how telling the time works with
fractions of the hours.

Listening (p.1I/42)
6. The students listen and repeat the times as indicated by the clocks. Before doing the
activity, make sure that everybody can convert the minutes into fractions (15 and 45 = a
quarter; 30 = half) and can use the prepositions to and past correctly.

for each of the six clocks. Then, the students in the pairs exchange roles. Move around the
classroom and check.

Reading (p.1/42-1/43)
8. Tell the students to read the text on their own. Alternatively, you can read the text aloud
and the students can follow on their books, so that they can get a model for the pronunciation
of the new lexical items. If necessary, give the meanings of the verbs wash, dress, have
breakfast, end, do, listen, watch, and surf. Then, tell the students to number the pictures on the
next page in the same order as the actions in the text. Move around the classroom and help if
necessary.

Mike. Pointing to all of the names, say and ask them to repeat This is Susan’s family. Mrs
King is her mother. Mr King is her father. Mike is her brother.
Do the same with the people of the other families.
Then, ask students to do activity 5A in pairs.
5b. Preview. Draw stick figures on the board representing a baby, a four-year-old, a
teenager, and an older person. Write age under each one. Point to the baby and ask How
old is he/she? Answer He/She’s one, and have students repeat, T-C. Continue in the same
way with each picture. Now have students repeat the question. Ask a volunteer to come to
the board and ask classmates the question, pointing to different people.
At first students often have difficulty pronouncing the –teen numbers. The stress goes on
the –teen and it has a long ee sound. Be sure to give them lots of oral practice with this
numbers.
Ask a student How old are you?; help the student answer I’m . . . . Students repeat the
question and answer, T-C. Now have one student ask another the question. The second
student answers, and then asks a third student the question. Students continue asking and
answering the question in a chain around the class.

Memory game. Students practise asking and answering questions about the people in the
table. Move around the classroom and help them.

Puzzler
It is often considered impolite in English-speaking cultures to ask an older person’s age.
For example, it would not be appropriate for a student to ask a teacher’s age in an English
speaking country.

PRONUNCIATION (p.1/137)
Intonation in questions
Preview. Before playing the CD, explain that there are two main types of intonation – falling
and raising. Intonation is usually falling in statements and can be rising or falling in questions.
We generally have rising intonation when a question can be answered simple with a yes or a
no; we generally have falling intonation when the questions begin with a wh- word like what,
who, where, when, etc.
You can also use your voice to model rising and falling intonation. Try to say a question with
a rising or falling intonation very slowly; so that the students can hear the sound patterns more
clearly.
1. Students listen to the CD and imitate the two types of intonation. Play the CD several times, if
necessary.
2. Students listen and mark with a rising or falling arrow the intonation of a few sentences.
3. Then, the students repeat the sentences after the recording.
Key:
Are you here on holiday?

Why don’t you come with us?

Is it a quarter to five?
How are you?

What time is the match?
