Students’Book: The book is composed of a starter and twenty interactive, personalised units with teen-appeal topics and resources relevant to school aged learners. Each unit presents and practises a mix of grammar, vocabulary and skills development (reading, listening, speaking  and writing). Make the most of the Review lesson every four units and the extra activities, vocabulary lists, grammar reference and practice at the end of the book.
 
Speaking: The main purpose is fluency, not grammar accuracy, so encourage your students to interact with their partners as naturally as possible. 
Listening: Listening practice is essential for students to understand so make the most of it by using the class audio at all times. 

Writing:  Types of writing: see 2024 Types of writing for Teens and Adults on our web site
                 
Workbook: It is divided into units which correspond to those in the Students’ Books. It contains grammar and vocabulary exercises as well as exercises to practise the three skills of reading, writing and listening. Make the most of the passages that are useful as a guide for writing practice.

READER: Start with "Newspaper Chase" in August when your students will have more knowledge of the language. We advise you to carry out the activities throughout the book and to consult the link below for further practice. www.penguinreaders.com

Please help your students develop their reading skills by encouraging them to read the story and exploit it through different activities. By no means should you give them just a summary to study by heart. 

For further grammar practice you may consult ‘Essential Grammar in Use’ (Elementary) by R. Murphy  and ‘Oxford English Grammar basic e-book´, by M. Swan and C. Walter

NOTE FOR THE FINAL TEST
Simple Past Tense will only be tested in Part A of the Written exam, it will not be included in Part B (Writing). However, you should give your students the writing exercises including past tense which appear in the book. As for the Oral exam, students will be asked a few questions using Past Tense in Part A, but not in Part B (Reader).
