Student Book: It has eight units and each unit is divided into six lessons, which focus on vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening and writing. It also provides students with grammar reference, practice and exam practice, which can be found at the back of the book.

Speaking: Speaking activities in Harmonize provide students with many opportunities to practise accuracy and fluency and to develop their competence in linguistic communication. Therefore, encourage your students to interact with their partners as naturally as possible.   
Listening:  Listening is an important part of language development and can help improve oral production. Harmonize gives students opportunities to practise listening in a realistic way, so make the most of it by using the class audio at all times. 
Video: There are different kinds of videos offering listening comprehension practice.

Writing:  Types of writing: see 2024 Types of writing for Teens and Adults on our web site
               For further practice you may consult “Reading & Writing Targets 1& 2, by V. Evans

                                                           VERY IMPORTANT
Teach Defining Relative Clauses after Unit 4 and Reported Speech after Unit 8. We advise you to use the Extra Support Material that can be found on our website.

READER: Start with "A Little Trouble in Amsterdam" in July, as students will have more knowledge of the language to deal with the story by that time. We advise to consult the Cambridge English Readers website for free resources and a worksheet at www.cambridge.org/elt/readers. 
We suggest you use the audio to help students to further develop their listening skills and improve their vocabulary.

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. 

Students are expected to read the story at home, not in class.

For further grammar practice you may consult ‘Essential Grammar in Use’ (Elementary) by R. Murphy.

COMPLEMENTARY MATERIAL: You may use the PHOTOCOPIABLE MATERIAL in English File Pre-intermediate Teacher’s Book, which includes Grammar, Vocabulary and Communication Activities that you may select to use with your group according to their needs/skills and the TIME you have. 

NOTE FOR THE FINAL TEST
*Reported Speech Statements will be included in ‘Circle’ and ‘Match’.
