Foreword

The CRADLE project is one of the projects that the Ministry of Education and Culture has designed to improve the quality of education in Ecuador. The textbook series, Our World Through English (OWTE), is part of a process of curriculum change in the teaching of English. Teachers, curriculum experts, teach-er trainers, authors, designers, inspectors, advisors and other experts work together to make this pro-cess work effectively. The third edition of OWTE that you are going to use is part of this national English language curriculum development process.

Please enjoy the process and play your full part in it.

• Take advantage of the opportunities for professional development that are offered to you.• Use your Teachers’ Resource Centre (TRC).• Use these teaching and learning materials carefully.• Follow the teaching notes as much as you can. Keep a record of what happens.• Give the Foreign Languages Division (DIEX) of the Ministry of Education and Culture feedback through your Provincial Coordinator for Development of the English Language Curriculum (PCDO).• Attend feedback meetings that you are invited to.

Producing a high quality textbook is a complex process. The third edition has taken note of feedback from teachers and national and international experts. The aim has been to produce a new edition of Our World Through English that is lively, imaginative and enjoyable for teacher and students. We hope that you and your classes will find the new edition motivating.

The Third Edition Teacher’s Book is different from the previous edition in that:

• clear objectives are given at the beginning of every lesson in the teacher’s notes.• there are monthly tests to be given after every three units as well as three term tests after every four units.• there are grammar practice exercise answer keys.

The Audio Scripts are included within the teaching steps in the Teacher’s Book.

Additionally, in this edition, we have included a Checking My Progress section with the objective of encouraging students to reflect and evaluate the progress made at the end of each unit.

Support your project for your benefit and for the benefit of English language learning and teaching and education in Ecuador.

Introduction to Teachers

V

1 The Course Components

Our World Through English is a six-year English course for Ecuadorian secondary school students. The materials for each year of the course are:

• Student’s Book

• Teacher’s Book and CD

The Teacher’s Book is distributed free of charge to teachers attending orientation courses organized by DIEX and held in all provinces of the country.

The CD is available to you in your provincial TRC. Remember that Audio Scripts are to be found in the appropriate pages of the teacher’s notes. If you have problems obtaining a CD player to use in class you should still do the listening activities as an integral and important part of the course. Read the Audio Script aloud for a listening task using the Read, look up and say technique. Teach a song as a rhyme without music. DIEX strongly recommends that you listen to the CD before a class to minimize errors of pronunciation, stress and intonation.

2 Planning the use of the materials

Each Student’s Book in the OWTE series is designed for one school year of study. The third edition of Book 3 is divided into 12 core units and a grammar practice section.

The core units consist of five lessons each, divided into a number of tasks. Each task has a number of teaching steps in the teaching notes. Each unit has two lessons of two pages and three lessons of one page, providing for some variation and flexibility in the course structure.

Each core unit is designed to be covered in one to one and a half weeks with five class periods per week, providing time for review and evaluation as appropriate, ideally 4 (3 terms = 12 units) being covered per term. We hope this will be motivating to both teachers and students, giving them a feeling of significant progress each term. The amount of time that a class group takes will depend on many factors, including previous exposure to English at primary level, general educational level, class size and length of class periods. DIEX recommends that all students study the core units.

Due to the fact that many teachers have expressed an interest in extra grammar exercises that they could use to supplement their lessons, a grammar exercise section has been added to this edition of the Our World Through English Series. This section can be used as in-class reinforcement of certain grammatical structures, or as exercises that can be sent as homework. The grammar exercises are intended to help learners prepare for exams, as well as give them self-study activities that they can do outside of class in order to practice the structures covered in each unit. Teachers may also like to use these grammar pages as review before exams.

The grammar exercises presented are meant to be a means to an end, not an end in themselves. They are all given in context, and are meant to motivate the learner through authentic and meaningful language use through controlled activities, giving the learners a sense of accomplishment through successful per-formance on the exercises.

INTRODUCTION

VI

The information in the boxes before exercises presents the grammar with a short explanation and/or rule, and then goes on to provide a couple of examples of the structure to be seen. Because each gram-mar point is marked beforehand, it is easy to focus only on those structures which each learner needs additional practice in. In some cases the grammar is meant to be learned as a lexical unit, or chunk, and therefore the learners are not given a clear rule, but instead asked to simply notice the English structure. Some students will rely more on these grammar explanations and exercises than others. They are meant to supplement the communicative exercises in the book, and not replace them.

The Teacher’s Book also includes tests to be given after the completion of each three core units and at the end of each school term.

The units of the Teacher’s Book have teaching steps for each task. Notice that the teacher’s language for a step is often given in bold type. For the students, listening to this language is part of the course. Please use these instructions and similar instructions when you are teaching. Use Spanish as little as possible in class. Remember that students learn best by using English, in this case by listening to and following instructions. Repetition of instructions in Spanish, instead of providing visual support through gestures, etc, destroys this possibility and also takes time away from exposure to English.

The notes contain production models. These are the teacher’s guide for students’ speaking and/or writing.

3 The philosophy of Our World Through English (OWTE)

a The view of language

- Communication and purpose

OWTE is based on the view that we use language for communication. In other words, we use it to give and receive "messages" of different kinds. There are different purposes in communication, but the purpose of asking for and giving information is the central one in this course. Many Ecuadorian students want to use English in their higher level education and in their work. For them, the ability to give and receive information in English will be extremely important.

Additionally, most learners of a language want to manage the socializing function of language. Expressing likes and dislikes, wants and needs, has been given greater importance in this new edi-tion.

- Syllabus organization

Information can be divided into three types:

• descriptive

• narrative

INTRODUCTION

VII

• instructive

The syllabus is based principally around the development of the necessary receptive and productive language skills to manage these types of information as they are used in a wide variety of spoken and written contexts.

b The view of learners and teachers

OWTE has been written and produced in Ecuador for use in Ecuador’s education system. It is written by Ecuadorians with a clear view of learners’ and teachers’ situations in the classroom, school and wider socio-economic and cultural contexts of the country. It has been written to help teachers and learners make the best use of the limited time available. The course aims to enable students to enter adult life with a firm basis of essential English and language learning skills.

OWTE tries to support the learning process in school by using content from other school subjects and by encouraging the learners to use their knowledge of the world or stimulate them to want to find out about the world around them. The course also helps develop learning skills through the medium of English. These learning skills are transferable to a wide variety of other learning situations.

In using OWTE, students are encouraged to look afresh and critically at their own world in a spirit of learning to appreciate all that is good, while not ignoring things that are less good. Nevertheless, the accent is always on the positive. There is much to celebrate in Ecuador and for young people it is impor-tant to point them towards the good things and not dwell too much on what is not so good. This approach is typical of books 1-3. In the second part of the course (books 4-6) students learn to organize knowledge in different ways. They use English to think and learn about new things, how to weigh up a lternatives and reach mature, informed decisions.

c Topics and motivation

The topics and the way they have been treated have been chosen to interest, surprise and amuse the learner, starting with their own world in Ecuador in all its diversity and gradually reaching out to the world beyond. The writing team has tried very hard to find something to interest everyone and to represent the different peoples of Ecuador equally.

d Success and motivation

Nothing succeeds better in motivating students at school than success itself. Success here means being able to follow the material, complete the tasks and want to learn more. It includes coming to understand the texts, as well as the procedures, to follow in doing the tasks. It means knowing what you are trying to learn to do, doing it and understanding the reason for doing it.

Above all the teacher's job is to encourage and support the learners' efforts. A positive attitude on your part is vital.

e Teachers and learners

The teacher’s aim is to help students to reach the goal of being confident and motivated in using

INTRODUCTION

English. The teaching steps in this book guide you in:

• encouraging students to prepare themselves for the topic areas to be introduced• organizing tasks for students so that they can do them without unnecessary difficulty• helping students while they are working• encouraging students to review their work• using appropriate ways to get feedback on completed work.

The materials are designed for teachers who:

• are interested in professional development• want to understand the reasons for the design of the syllabus and materials• want to do the best possible job but often do not have enough time to do it• want to organize classroom activities effectively so that students take a central, active role in learning• want to help learners to be more independent in their learning• want to connect learning English with other learning experiences both inside and outside school• want their students to learn how to obtain and give information in English, and consider that learning how to obtain information is more important than the "right answer"• want to encourage students to think for themselves.

4 The skills cycle

a Language skills in life

When we examine the way that we use different language skills in life we notice two things. Firstly, a person normally uses language for a purpose. Secondly, there are links between one language skill and another.

b Purpose

In life, people listen, read or ask questions to find out something. They speak or write to communicate something.

c Links between skills

The language skills are linked. For example, when you answer the telephone, you listen, speak, and often write a note. After the telephone conversation you may use the note (read it) to remind your-self or somebody else to do something. In the same way, when you study, you may listen, make notes, maybe ask questions, perhaps discuss the ideas in the notes, read something more about the notes, organize your notes, write an essay on the subject. Language skills are linked in these and many other ways in life.

The language skills cycle in the third edition of OWTE is based on the way we use them in life. The cycle often begins with a receptive experience – either listening or reading, followed by a productive

INTRODUCTION

IX

experience, either speaking or writing. In each part of the cycle students have a purpose for using their language skills. To develop the speaking skill in this third edition there are interaction patterns to follow. Questions are introduced to enable students to ask their teacher and their classmates for information in English. Questions, of course, are also an important way to obtain and ask for clarification of infor-mation in real life.

The skills approach, then, is based on skills used in real life. It is also based on the way that people learn, firstly by having a purpose for using the language and secondly by experiencing the language in both written and spoken forms. This complementary experience helps in remembering. Throughout the course students are given tasks while they are listening or reading to focus their attention on the main information and to give them a purpose for listening or reading. In many cases they are asked to do tasks to activate their general knowledge of a topic. Before reading for more detailed information, stu-dents are asked to read to form a general idea of the text. This enables students to anticipate the context of the text before they read it in detail. They are given an idea of the information they have to find. They do not have to understand every single word to achieve this. They make notes to be able to access information for a further purpose. Tables or charts are used for noting down information in an organized way. In addition to making information easily accessible, these tables help students to learn how to organize information from listening or reading.

5 Grammar and vocabulary

The six-year course is based on a core of grammar which the learner needs for giving, asking for and receiving descriptive, narrative and instructive information. Students experience this grammar in sit-uational and linguistic contexts at the same time as they explore information about a wide variety of topics.

Learning the grammar of the appropriate verb forms for the above purposes is a central element of the grammatical syllabus. Through the six-year course, students have repeated experience of giving, asking for and receiving messages using core verb forms and core sentence structures.

The grammar of the noun phrase progresses from simple to complex as students become familiar with different kinds of sentence pattern. Great emphasis is given to positive statements in texts.

In the books 1 and 2 grammar is introduced implicitly without presenting grammatical rules. Students learn phrases and questions as lexical ‘chunks’, or formulas. In later books grammar is made more explicit, and students’ awareness of grammatical structure is developed to enable them to expand their linguistic repertoire in English.

Students also experience new vocabulary in a situational and linguistic context. We recommend that you do not explain new vocabulary before it is met. Instead, you should encourage students to work out meaning independently using all available resources (including other people). This, of course, includes the possibility for students to ask you or each other in English for help. Training students to solve their own vocabulary problems is an essential part of helping them become active, independent learners.

The design of the course introduces and recycles core vocabulary throughout the book. Students

INTRODUCTION

should, then, get enough experience of these items to assimilate them. It also includes vocabulary which is not core or frequent but is important in a topic. Many of these items are illustrated. It is not necessary for students to learn this vocabulary for productive use. Core vocabulary is listed in the unit objectives and in alphabetical order. Students should be able to use the core vocabulary in speaking and writing. They are not expected to remember or ‘learn completely’ all the words introduced in each unit.The classroom language included in many units in earlier books should be learnt as vocabulary or lexical ‘chunks’ for communicative purposes in the classroom and should not be analyzed gram-matically in these levels. Students should be encouraged to use this classroom language as much as possible as a genuine means of communication in a variety of common classroom situations and as an essential part of the core syllabus.

6 Examinations

Prepared sample tests are provided for your use at mid-term and end of term points.

INTRODUCTION

1 English in the classroom

While a student receiving five hours of English per week cannot hope to absorb the amount of lan-guage a native speaking child learns, the amount of English that a student will learn depends directly on the amount of exposure to the language. Students need a lot of listening experiences to become familiar with English before they can produce significant amounts of language. As their teacher you are their main experience of the foreign language. Do not waste time exposing them to Spanish unless it is absolutely necessary. Use simple English and avoid translation as much as possible by using mime, gestures, demonstration and other visual support to get meaning across.

Start giving simple instructions in English from the first class. Soon you can conduct the whole les-son in English.

Using English in the classroom shows students that English is used for real communication and makes them use English for this purpose. It also challenges students to understand the meaning for them-selves. For example, when you go into the classroom and say: “Good morning, everybody”, stu-dents can understand that you are greeting them.

It is important in the tasks to check that students understand class instructions. There are different ways of doing this:

Demonstrate the task with an example.Ask students to demonstrate the task with examples.Watch students carefully when they begin working on a task (i.e. monitor their work) and help them individually or as a group, if you see a problem.Invite a student to explain the task to the class.

2 Pronunciation and Intonation

Unstressed vowels are often pronounced using the schwa sound / /. For example, in ‘a banana’, the letters in italics are all pronounced with a schwa, so /b nan /.

Spanish speakers tend to pronounce the sound /s/ with an additional /e/ before the /s/, for example, ‘estop’ for ‘stop’, and in other words starting with an /s/ sound followed by a consonant sound. It is com-mon to hear students say ‘an estudent’ instead of ‘a student’ as a result of this problem. You should be particularly careful in your own speech to avoid this and to correct students when they make this mis-take.

In a series of connected descriptive statements, for example a description of a person, there is a sustained level of intonation at the end of each statement and a falling intonation at the end of the last statement of the description. The sustained intonation shows that the speaker has more to say. The falling intonation shows that the speaker has finished.

A rising intonation is used in yes/no questions or to obtain confirmation of a statement. It is com-mon to hear students using a rising intonation to get confirmation from the teacher of a correct answer. This can distort appropriate intonation, and even cause confusion.

3 A word on ‘English’

The idea of ‘correct’ English still exists but like many things it is a more relative term than in the past. There is an obvious need to use a standardized form of English in a textbook series. OWTE uses stan-dard British English, appropriate to its global use at the beginning of the 21st century. The grammati-cal analysis follows The Oxford English Grammar (Greenbaum, 1996). British English vocabulary is used in the main, so ‘shop’, ‘railway’, ‘trousers’, etc are to be found, but words of American origin that are becoming part of British and international English, for example 'cool', 'cookie' etc, are used in preference to the more traditional British words.

British English spelling is used partly because these are the forms used throughout the English-speaking world (except the United States) and in Europe, Africa and Asia where English is very widely used. For example, ‘colour’, 'travelled', 'centre' etc. Spelling conforms to that in the Collins Cobuild Dictionary. There are cases where British English spelling is changing, so that these forms have been used, for example, ‘organize’ instead of ‘organise’.

4 Grouping

Students can be grouped in different ways according to the size of the class and the physical conditions in each classroom. For example, students can work in threes in a row, or they can turn round and form groups with students in the next row, etc. Practise the selected grouping procedure as much as necessary in order to set up routines for future lessons, so that students will get used to forming groups quickly and quietly.

5 Songs, rhymes and chants

Follow these steps for songs, rhymes and chants:• Invite students to predict the song by looking at the picture.• Say: “Listen to the song (rhyme or chant) and follow the song in your books.”• Play the CD (or sing the song) at least twice.• Guide the student to sing each line of the song with you.• Ask them to sing the song alone in groups and as a whole.

- Remembering groups of words, e.g. musical instruments, animals, jobs, sports etc.

- Remembering the words to a kind of rhythm or tune.- Visualizing the words in the form of a picture.

It’s important to point out to the students that the dif-ferent ways they have of remembering the words sug-gest different learning styles.

Dear Ms Rivera,

I am writing to tell you about the kind of classroom activities I like and the ones I don’t like very much. My favourite classroom activity is listening to songs in English. I also like learning vocabulary and reading exercises. I like the practical activities too and I would like to do more project work. I don’t like working in groups very much. I prefer to work alone or in a pair.

Best wishes,

Clothes and AppearanceWhat people wear depends on the weather. In hot weather we wear light clothes but when it is cold we need to wear warm clothes.Sometimes clothes reflect our personality and our mood. They say that people who are introverted and serious generally wear dark colours and people who are extroverted and cheerful like to wear colourful gar-ments. This is not a rule, however, because young people sometimes wear black as a trend. Black goes with almost everything: baggy jeans, cotton t-shirts, wool pullovers, miniskirts, silk blouses, belly tops,

etc. Some designers in Ecuador put tagua buttons on the clothes. They look terrific!

Dr Saunders, could you explain what global warming is exactly?Dr: Actually it's an increase in the temperature of the world, the world is getting hotter.I: And what is the cause of global warming?Dr: Pollution. There's too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These days we are burning more coal and oil in cars and factories and this creates carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can not escape into the space and therefore the atmo-sphere is getting warmer.I: And what about deforestation?Dr: Yes. That's another cause. Man is cutting down huge areas of forest all over the world. This causes more carbon dioxide.I: Could you tell us what the effects of global

warming are?Dr: Well, global warming can cause extreme weather conditions like hurricanes. In addition, if the atmosphere gets hotter, ice caps will melt and if the ice caps melt, the level of the sea will rise. If the level of the sea rises, there will be floods.

Teaching TipWe use the comparative forms to compare one person or thing with (an)other person(s) or thing(s).We use the superlative to compare one person or thing with his/her/its whole group.

N.B You may like to give the students another example: Draw three houses on the board. A should be very small, B medium-sized and C very big. Label the pictures A,B and C.Point to the appropriate pictures as you say: “House A is smaller than B. House A is also smaller than C. House A is the smallest house.”Then say: “Is house A bigger than B?” Encourage students to tell you: “No. House B is bigger than A.”Ask: “Is house B bigger than C?” Encourage students to say: “No. House C is bigger than B.”Ask: “Which is the biggest house?” Encourage students to tell you that C is the biggest house.

2 Tell students to read the task instructions. Check understanding.

3 Demonstrate the task with the example provided. Read the first sentence. Ask them to compare the two years of foundation: 1535 and 1548.

Encourage them to deduce that Lima is older than La Paz.

4 Tell students to continue doing the task individually.

Audio Script 18 How to Treat Bleeding

Listen to a doctor giving advice on how to treat bleeding.

Sometimes when people cut themselves badly, they suffer shock. If the person is in shock, it’s a good idea to help them lie down and put their feet on a pil-low. This makes more blood go to his or her head. Then you need to put a clean cloth on the cut and press firmly with your fingers. Keep pressing until the bleeding stops. This can take 10 minutes or more. Don’t tie anything too tightly around the cut. This is not a good idea, because it can stop the circulation. If possible, lift or raise the injured part of the body. This helps to stop the bleeding. (But don’t do this if you think a bone is broken.)Cover the cut with a clean bandage if you can find one. Then take the injured person to hospital.

Audio Script 21 Fast FoodListen to the origins of some fast food and com-plete the table.

Some of the best-known fast foods are hamburgers, french fries, pizza, and fried chicken. Talking about the origins, I can say that pizza was invented in Naples in 1889. The first pizza had the colours of the Italian flag for the visit of the king and queen of Italy. Its ingredients were tomatoes for red, mozza-rella cheese for white and basil for green; and the dough for the pizza base. Then pizza went to Ameri-ca with the Italians.

The word 'hamburger' appeared in a restaurant menu in New York in 1834 but the classic hamburger was invented around 1902. The basic ingredients are ground beef mixed with onion and pepper and served on a bun.

French fries were introduced to the American colo-nies by Thomas Jefferson in the late 1700s. The original name was “potatoes, fried in the French manner”. The basic ingredient, of course, is sliced potatoes.

In 1939, Colonel Sanders first gave the world a taste of his most famous creation, his blend of 11 herbs and spices mixed with some flour to fry chicken

Task 3 Reading and matching

1 Ask students to read the task instructions. Check understanding and focus the students’ attention on the

example. Ask: “Who is Claudia?” (The girl who wrote the diary entry.) “How do we know she was getting ready to go to school?” (It says I was getting dressed quickly. I didn’t want to be late for school.)

2 Tell students to read the text again and do the task.

3 Copy the sentences from Task 3 on the board while the students are working. Then walk around monitoring. Help if necessary.

4 Check the task orally and write the answers on the board.

KeyClaudia was / getting ready to go to school.Claudia’s father was / listening to the radio.Diego Oquendo was / talking.Claudia’s family went / outside.The neighbours / were looking at Guagua Pichincha.Some people had / no shoes on.

Task 4 Language Awareness

1 Ask students if the diary entry is about the past, the present or the future.

KeyThe past

2 Focus students’ attention on the underlined was in the first line of the text in Task 2. Tell students to underline the other past simple verb forms.

3 Ask students to work individually. Monitor and help if necessary.

N.B Correct students who underline the was from the past progressive forms by telling them: “That is a different kind of verb. It’s not only was , it’s was shining. We’ll talk about that in a moment.”

4 Ask students for the past simple verb forms and write them on the board. Do not erase this information.

Keywas (about seven o’clock ...)didn’t wantwas (on, because ...)heardshoutedrancamewas (fantastic!)lookedfeltrealizedwas (really beautiful)noticed looked was (a boy ...)

5 Write the following sentences on the board.

The sun was shining.The birds were singing.

6 Say: “Do these sentences refer to the past, the present or the future?” Confirm that they refer to the past. Tell stu-dents to look for other verb forms like these in the text in Task 2 and circle them. Say: “Look for more verb forms like these. Circle them in the text.” Monitor and help if nec-essary.

7 Check the task. Ask students to tell you the verb forms

and write them on the board.

N.B Write complete sentences on the board rather than the verb forms alone.

KeyThe sun was shining.The birds were singing.I was getting dressed.I wasn’t paying attention.I was thinking about how to do my hair.Our neighbours were standing outside.Everybody was pointing.

8 Point to the past simple forms and the past progressive forms on the board. Ask: “Are they both about the past?” (Yes). “What is the difference?” (The past progressive refers to a longer action or situation. The simple past refers to a shorter action or a situation that happened in the middle or interrupt-ed it.)

N.B. The students may tell you their ideas in Spanish, but it is important for you to respond in English.

9 Underline shouted, and The sun was shining, The birds were singing, I was getting dressed on the board. Ask: “Which is a short action?” (shouted). “Which are longer actions?” (The sun was shining. The birds were singing. I was getting dressed)

Teaching TipYou may like to draw a timeline on the board to illustrate the past simple and the past progressive tenses.10 Draw a table with three columns on the board. Focus students’ attention on the sentences: The sun was shining. The birds were singing. Ask why we use was in the

first sentence, but were in the second. (Because the sun is singular like it and the birds is plural like they.) Fill in the first column of the table and ask students to help you fill in the second column.

11 Ask students: “What comes next?” Write some examples of the –ing form of the verb in the third column.

Task 5 Grammar Practice

1 Ask students to read the task instructions.2 Copy the first sentence on the board and complete it. Ask

students: “Why do we need was and not were?” (Because it’s Mary, which is singular, like she.)

A possible production modelIt is a good idea to be prepared before an earthquake happens. Keep a basic first aid boy in your home and identify safe places, under a desk or a table for example. You can also teach your family what to do if there is an earthquake.

During an earthquake, the most important thing to do is to stay calm. If you are inside, you should find a safe place to protect yourself. If you are outside, remember to keep away from buildings and lamp posts, which could be dangerous.

After an earthquake, you should stay in a safe place and listen for news on the radio. Do not go near electrical cables or broken glass. It is also impor-tant to help other people near you.

Listen to a report about UFOs.

UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. There have been many thousands of reports of observations of UFOs all over the world, but at least 90% of UFO sightings are not UFOs at all. They are often bright planets, stars, clouds, planes, birds or even balloons. But it is true that some reports have not yet been explained.One example is a sighting which happened in Papua New Guinea on 26th June 1959. 38 people say they saw a UFO. One of them was an Anglican priest called Father William Gill. First they saw a bright, white light. The light was moving towards them. When it came closer, they saw that

the UFO was saucer-shaped. Then they saw four people on the top of the UFO. The people looked human and they seemed to be repairing part of the space ship.

Testing

The book contains one test for each three units which could be applied after a month of normal work and a term test for use after four units have been studied. The tests have been designed to measure the student's performance and achievement in the areas of language skills, (listening, reading, writing and speaking) grammar and vocabulary. The purposes of the tests are: (a) To give students a focus for studying and revision. (b) To motivate students to develop fluency and accuracy. (c) To provide teachers with a system to assess the students' progress. (d) To standardise levels of students' performance and achievement.

There are four monthly tests. In addition a final term test is provided for each term. This organization could be modified according to different school programmes, e.g. the schools which work dividing the school year into quimestres. The monthly tests are part of a forma-tive evaluation, while the term test is summative.

The monthly tests include two listening exercises, two reading exercises, two speaking exercises, two writing exercises, two grammar exercises and two vocabulary exercises. It is not necessary for students to do both exercises in each section. You may select the most suitable one from each section.

There are also two versions of each term test (a and b). This is to enable teachers with large classes or a lack of space to give different versions of the term test to different rows of students to ensure that the marks reflect the sutdents’ own ability.

The testing section is part of the Teacher's Book. You should select the items you are going to use in the test and photocopy them in the form of a proper test. It is important that no student should see the tests beforehand to ensure the tests' reliability and validity. All tests contain six sections:

Listening 5 marksReading 5 marksSpeaking 5 marks Writing 5 marksGrammar 5 marks Vocabulary 5 marksTotal 30 marks

N.B. Teachers have to transform this mark to a mark based on 20. e.g. 18/30 equals 18 x 20: 30 = 12/20

TESTS

115

Listening

The elements of this section are designed to test listening skills only. For this reason, the majority of the listening tests do not involve writing. In the tests where some writing is requi-ered, students should not be penalized for spelling mistakes.

Speaking and writing

These two sections are presented separetely. However, there are some Speaking and Writ-ing tasks where students can use the same input to produce oral or written language.

Testing speaking is important since the course contains many oral tasks. However, admin-istrative and time constraints can make testing oral skills difficult.

This is a problem you should solve according to your school conditions. For example, you can give oral tests at the end of three units, at the end of the term, etc. In the same way you can organize speaking tests according to your classsroom conditions, e.g. individually, in pairs, in groups, etc.

If a formal oral test is not possible, you may mark the students' speaking competence on the basis of your classroom experience of the students' performance. Marking speaking and writing can be generally subjective. The grade should depend on the students' ability to communicate in oral and written modes. However, at this level the language used by students is largely guided, which mini-mizes subjectivity. To mark speaking skills:

Use a system of bands, as follows:Band 5: The student can communicate clearly. His speech is grammatically and lexically accurate.Band 4: The student can communicate, but makes some errors in grammar, lexis and pronunciation.Band 3: The student can communicate in a limited way. He makes basic errors in grammar and lexis.Band 2: There is no real communication, just isolated words and phrases.Band 1: The student is not able to understand or speak at all.

To mark writing skills:

Use a system of bands, as follows:Band 5: The text is well written. There are no mistakes. Band 4: The text is well written. There are a few mistakes.Band 3: The idea is understood but there are some basic mistakes.Band 2: The idea is understood, but there are a lot of basic mistakes.Band 1: The ideas are not understood at all.

He went up to the cashier and gave her a letter which said: “Give me all your money!Ihaveagun!”However,thecashier was from China and she had only just arrived in the country. She didn’t

understand, because she could only speak Chinese.The Chinese cashier decided to call the manager and ask for help.

He left the bank and went next door to the English-speaking bank. This time he was more successful. The cashier immediately gave him over $500 in cash. The robber said: "Thank you!" in

Capuchin MonkeyCapuchin Monkeys are found in Central and South America. In Ecuador, they live in the rain forest and in the northeast of the country. They have light brown fur on their bodies and cream-coloured fur on their faces, necks, shoulders and chests. Their bodies measure 30 to 55 cm in length. They eat fruit, seeds, flowers, spiders

and insects. Because of the humorous nature of Capuchin monkeys, they are often used for enter-tainment, e.g. dancing for the public or telling fortunes (choosing little pieces of paper with messages written on them). They are also bought as children’s pets.

The Bermuda TriangleThe Bermuda Triangle is known as Devil's Triangle. It is located between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Melbourne in Florida. Since the mid-nineteenth century there have been numerous reports of strange occurrences in the area. According to these reports, a total of more than fifty ships and twenty aeroplanes have disap-peared. One of the more notorious cases happened on 5th December 1945. Five United States torpedo bombers left Fort

Lauderdale, but none of them returned and rescue teams never found any part of the planes. In some cases, crews have abandoned ships in the area. One ship was found totally empty and with warm food still on the table in the dining room. Nobody has solved the mistery of the Bermuda Triangle.

Earthquake SensitivesMany people and animals are able to feel or sense when earthquakes are about to happen. The strange behaviour of domestic pets is particu-larly noticeable, but there are also some people who experience headaches, electric shocks and ground movements.Linda Curtis, who is a secretary at the office of Geological Survey in Pasadena, California, says that there are people who phone her to report that they feel an earthquake coming. She also receives calls about peoples’ pets. Once a

woman called her to say that her fish jumps out of its aquarium right before earthquakes. She has also been told about a Dachshund dog which runs in circles and a parrot called Dorian that starts to pick feathers out of its chest.Not only animals behave strangely, according to Linda. One man phoned to say that his tele-vision always gets interference before an earth-quake.Linda is sure that there are many more earth-quake sensitive people in California. However, scientists say that it is still not possible to treat
