D In pairs, discuss these topics and find at least five things you have in common with each other.
• family and friends • local community • use of social media
• TV, films, books, music • sports and games • work and educationHow large is your actual circle of
friends? 5? 15? More than 150? According to one theory, humans can only keep in touchwith a
maximum community of 150 people at any one time So, while you might have thousands of so-calledfriends from different walks of life, you only
have something in commonwith around 150 of them If you were planning a party, that number would be smaller—you’d invite about 50 friends and acquaintances In the evenings and on the weekends, you probably hangout with about 15 on a regular basis As for your close-knit
family and friends—most of us can count these meaningfulrelationships on one hand.

Developing a Community Service Project
Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits others It is often done near an area where you live, so it’s a great way to meet people from different walks of life and help your own community The people who often benefit most include children and senior citizens—and, of course, you also benefit by helping others and gaining work experience It’s also a great way to make new friends Here are six ideas for projects you could do:a Organize a car wash and donate the
profit to a charity
b Look after a neighbor’s pet when they are away
c Coach a youth sports team
d Paint over graffiti e Go shopping for elderly peoplef Plant trees in your local park
B Work in pairs Discuss and rank the community service projects in A in order of their usefulness
(1 = most useful, 6 = least useful) Think of another project that you and your friends could do in your local area.
C Work in groups Imagine your English class has the opportunity to do a community service project and your school has offered its building for free.

one-week vacation without connectivity For baby boomers, the figure was exactly a third, at 33% For Jonathan Jarvis, director of the National Park Service, this presents a challenge “Young people are more separated from the natural world than perhaps any generation before them.”
4But rather than rage against the times, the National Parks are now attempting to attract more school-aged “Generation Z” visitors by joining the digital age Visitors to their website can take a virtual tour of every national park, and their social media targets a generation that spends at least 50 hours a week in front of a screen—for children 11 to 14 years old, it’s nearly 12 hours a day
5But even if the National Parks are now embracing technology, that doesn’t mean wiring up the parks so you can get a signal on your phone Even after a sublime first day spent on the river and an evening feast of prime rib cooked over a gas stove, Casey and I experience a bit of internet withdrawal
6“We should just let it go,” I suggested “Try to be mindful Stare at the stars Drift.”
7“I get it,” replies Casey, “this thing about being disconnected But everyone I know likes to share—publicly—what we’re doing We are social travelers If you can’t share it now, is it really happening? Just a thought.” 7
1On our journey through the Grand Canyon, me and my son, Casey, will see ancient fossils from a time when the rock was under the ocean We’ll take a boat down the Colorado River and, at night, we’ll sleep under the sky and look at the universe As we get ready to leave, my son complains he has no phone service and can’t check the score for a game I tell him that’s a good thing.
2Casey is a millennial, in his mid-20s I’m a baby boomer My generation loves the national parks to death His generation will have to save them in the future The night before, we gorged on social media, sent our final text messages, used the
internet to find the best Mexican restaurant, and used our smartphone’s GPS to guide us back to our hotel Now for the diet: a fast from our devices—our overconnectedness What could be a better antidote to our eight-second attention span than a landscape that is nearly two billion years old?

PART ONE: ENGAGING IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
This section of the World Link Teacher’s Book is designed to help you make your World Link
textbook part of your professional development Although English language teachers often do not think of their textbooks as part of their professional
development, we believe that the World Link
textbooks can and should be part of it, and in this section, we show you how
The exercises in this section were designed so you can complete all of them individually, but if you can find a colleague to do them together with you, you will both learn more
In the first part of this section, Engaging in Professional Development, we will look at the following questions:
What kind of an English language teacher are you? What does “professional development” mean to you?
At the beginning of a course, we often ask our students to describe themselves, but how often do we describe ourselves?
TASK 1
Write an X on each of the lines below, nearest to the end that best describes the kind of English language teacher you are.

Circle a number for each statement that follows, to show how you feel about each statement.

There are many more qualities and characteristics of a good English language teacher, but the important point is to know what we mean when we think or talk about being a good English language teacher
TASK 3
Complete the statement below in 50 words or fewer, and share your completed statement with another teacher who has completed the same exercise In my particular teaching and learning context, the ideal English language teacher is someone who
B STARTING YOUR OWN AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Many English language teachers ask their students to write about themselves, and most English language teachers ask their students to do fill-in-the-blank activities But how often do we write descriptions of ourselves and fill in the blanks?

Fill in the blanks in the short passage below I first became interested in being an English

(reason) One of the main challenges I face as an English language teacher is (challenge) If I had the chance, I would make the following changes to my life and work as an English language teacher:
This exercise is called Starting Your Own
Autobiography because it is just a beginning You could continue, and write about your first day, first week, or first semester as an English language teacher Writing about our own early experiences as a teacher is one way to reflect on those times and to think about how we’ve changed since then—and what has remained unchanged
So far, you have completed four short, simple tasks to help you think about the kind of English language teacher you are It’s important to know who we are and what we do before we try to develop professionally, because all professional development is based on personal development Try the next two tasks to help you describe who you are and what you do as an English language teacher.
TASK 5
Imagine you meet someone at a party who’s never heard of teaching English as a second or foreign language They ask you what you do, and you tell them, “I’m an English language teacher.” They reply, “An English language teacher? What’s an English language teacher? What do English language teachers do? What do you do?”
How would you reply?
As English language teachers, we work mostly with words But English language teachers (and students) are also often very visual, and many of us
use a lot of pictures, drawings, photographs, and other images in our classrooms.
TASK 6
In the box below draw a small, simple picture that shows what you do and how you feel about being an English language teacher Using a spider map (see Teacher’s Resources on the companion site for an example), write one key word or phrase in the center of the box, then draw lines coming out from that center, with a word or phrase at the end of each line that describes what you do and how you feel about being an English language teacher.
As we explained at the start of this section, you can complete exercises alone, but if you can find one or more teachers to do them with, you will all learn more The Task 6 activity is a good example To learn the most about yourself from this activity, you and another teacher should each draw your spider map on large, blank sheets of paper, then show them to each other and talk about what each picture represents.
There is a strong link between personal and professional development So, it will help you to write your own personal definition of professional development here:
TASK 7
For me, “professional development” means
| T13
Trang 16The World Link Teacher’s Book Professional Development Pages by Dr Andy Curtis, Anaheim University
It is important to stress that “professional development” does not only mean going to conferences, reading books, or writing papers Although these are very helpful professional development activities, they are just three possible ways from a large number and a wide variety of different ways, which we will learn more about in this section of the book
TASK 8
Check (✓) the professional development activities that you have tried If you have tried the activity, what did you learn? If you have not tried this activity before, why not?
❑ Keeping a teaching journal/diary Tried and learned
Not tried because
❑ Watching yourself teaching on video Tried and learned
Not tried because
❑ Watching another teacher teaching Tried and learned
Not tried because
❑ Having another teacher watch you teaching Tried and learned
Not tried because
❑ Teaching together with another teacher Tried and learned
Not tried because
❑ Creating a teaching portfolio Tried and learned
Not tried because
Professional Development
❑ Writing a “teaching philosophy” (a statement of your pedagogic beliefs)
Tried and learned
Not tried because
The first few tasks in this section helped you to think about who you are and what you do Then we asked you to think about what you understand by the term professional development, what developmental activities you’ve engaged in, and what you have learned from those activities.
Let’s now return to the question we asked at the very beginning: What is professional development? Professional development is anything you choose to do because you want to be better at what you do Choice and trust are two essential features of professional development You can be required to have another teacher in your classroom, observing you But if you didn’t choose to have that person there, and if you don’t trust the person, there will be little or no development
Professional development is also about change But it’s not always about changing what you do It can be about changing the way you think about what you do In this section, you have completed various tasks If you carried out these activities carefully and thoughtfully, then you were engaged in professional development If you learned anything about your professional self from doing these activities, then you were engaged in professional development.
Drawing relationships: Bringing togetherthe
Different partsof our work
As we mentioned earlier, English language teachers (and learners) are often very visual So, another way of thinking about professional development is to use simple shapes to show complex relationships Here’s an example, based on three key aspects of professional development we’ve discussed:
T14 |
Trang 17The World Link Teacher’s Book Professional Development Pages by Dr Andy Curtis, Anaheim University
One interpretation of this diagram might be: Trusting yourself and others, engaging in professional development because you choose to do so, and willingness to change are all necessary for professional development to take place.
Another example:
An interpretation of the diagram above might be: English language teachers and students work together, using English language textbooks, to teach and learn the language
TASK 9
Try to put into your own words what this next diagram shows:
In professional development, teachers often talk
about reflective practice This means thinking about
what we do so we can understand more, and then make changes so we can do what we do better
TASK 10
Think of three aspects of what you do as an English language teacher, and label the three corners of the triangle below In the middle of the triangle, write what it is that connects the three corners, then write a brief description of how the three are connected.
Making ConneCtions: piCturing professional
English language teachers also often make use of analogies in their teaching so that simple language can be used to express complex thoughts
Analogies are powerful ways of helping us understand what we think and mean and say For example, we could say, “Being an English language teacher is like being the captain of a ship, because we are all working together on a voyage of discovery.”
TASK 11
Complete the same sentence, but with your own analogy:
In my teaching and learning context, being an English language teacher is like
because
An activity like this can be part of your professional development because, even though it seems short and simple, it may require a lot of thought to create a good analogy and then describe it in clear and concise language.
ChangeanD professional DevelopMent
As we said earlier, development is all about change—changing what we do, how we do it, and how we think about what we do Before we can engage in professional development, we should take some time to look at our feelings about change
TASK 12
Circle a number for each statement below to show how you feel about the statement.
Trang 18The World Link Teacher’s Book Professional Development Pages by Dr Andy Curtis, Anaheim University
Once you have read all the statements on page T15 and circled a number for each one, add up your total score If you have a total score of more than 20, you have probably had a lot of experience of dealing with challenging change If you have a total of between 12 and 15, the changes you have experienced may have been largely positive, and with a score of 10 or less, you may have experienced relatively little change or few changes, so far.
Most of us tend to naturally resist change, as we are often creatures of habit—we like things to stay the same But change is one of the only things we can be sure of in modern life It is sometimes even said that “change is the only constant”!
TASK 13
Think of an important change in your life—either personal or professional Was it difficult and complicated? Did it take a lot of time and energy? Are things better now, because of the change? Make a few brief notes about this change How would you describe it to a friend? Once you have made a few notes, use these to describe your change to a friend or colleague, and ask them to do the same with you.
Change may be difficult, and it may even be painful, but the one thing worse than changing is not changing As teachers, we are preparing our students for a constantly changing world If we are to help them, we must be willing and able to change, grow, and develop It is even possible that change is at the heart of all teaching and learning Here are some ways to make change less difficult: 1 Break it down into small steps
2 Set yourself realistic, achievable goals at each step.
3 Expect resistance and identify where there will be areas of resistance.
4 Think of ways to overcome this resistance; for example, think of the benefits of the change 5 Allow enough time for each step to be
6 Reward yourself as you achieve each goal and complete each step.
Like all professions, teaching has its own language which teachers can use to talk about teaching Within this language of the profession there are a number of words and phrases that are commonly used when talking about professional development As a language teacher you know that when learning a language, it is not necessary to remember all the meanings of all the words, but it is important to be familiar with them This task has, then, been created to help you become more familiar with some commonly used terms related to teacher professional development
As English language teachers, we often ask our students to complete “matching” activities, linking a word with its meaning So, let’s do one of those activities here
TASK 14
Match some simple definitions with some of the words and phrases most commonly used to describe different approaches to professional development for language teachers (Check your

l Two teachers at the same level help each other to develop in a number of different and agreed-upon areas
m Becoming better at what you do through growth and change
n Ways of understanding and responding to ourselves, others, and events
E PAINLESS PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT: IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE?
There are many reasons why many English language teachers do not engage in as much professional development as they might like to do As we discussed earlier, development requires change, and change can be difficult Two other common problems are a lack of time and a lack of money What are some of the obstacles to professional development that you face in your teaching and learning context?
Although there may be challenges to overcome, there are many reasons why we should engage in professional development
TASK 15
Circle a number for each of the statements that follow to show whether each reason for engaging in professional development is important for you or not.

There are many other reasons for engaging in professional development Can you identify some of them?
In the same way that change does not have to be painful, professional development does not necessarily need a lot of additional time and money It is possible to engage in professional development by doing what we are already doing, but doing it with more awareness and more reflection than we usually do.

F MAKING YOUR TEXTBOOK
PART OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
To review some of the main points we have discussed so far:
Professional development is anything you choose to do because you want to be better at what you do Professional development does not only mean going to conferences, reading books, or writing papers There are many different ways to grow professionally.
We also touched upon various types of professional development activities, such as the following:
But one method that few English language teachers think of is using their English language textbook as part of their professional development
In these pages, you have so far completed 15 different tasks If you completed each of these tasks carefully and thoughtfully, you were actively engaged in professional development
But what about the textbook itself? How can an English language textbook be part of an English language teacher’s professional development? Most English language teachers do not think of their textbooks as tools for professional development Some of the reasons are:
1 Textbooks are used to teach students, so they are not thought of as ways for teachers to learn about teaching.
2 Textbooks are part of our regular, routine, everyday classroom work.
3 Professional development is still often thought of as doing something different, something “extra,” or going somewhere else, away from where we are now.
But here are some reasons why you should think of your textbooks as a part of your professional development.
1 Careful and thoughtful use of any kind of teaching material can be part of a teacher’s professional development process.
2 Deciding which textbook to use is in itself a professional decision, drawing on your knowledge, skills, and experience 3 The way in which a textbook is used—
which units are used, which are not, what supplementary material you provide, and so forth—also requires a lot of knowledge, skills, and experience.
PART TWO: PURSUING
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT USING YOUR TEXTBOOK
At the end of Part One, we said:
Careful and thoughtful use of any kind of teaching material can be part of a teacher’s professional development process.
Also in Part One, we defined reflective practice as a set of structured and systematic ways of thinking about what we do as English language teachers, including the ways in which we use materials Reflective practice is an important component of professional development, and can be thought of as a kind of “stepping back.” As we do this, we create the necessary distance to see ourselves, and what we do, more clearly.
If you take time to reflect on the ways in which you use your English language textbook, you can make this part of your professional development Part Two: Pursuing Professional Development Using Your Textbook has been created and designed to help you do this.
At the end of Part One, we also said:
Deciding which textbook to use is in itself a
professional decision, drawing on your knowledge, skills, and experience.
It is true that not all English language teachers are allowed to choose the textbooks they believe would work best for them and for their students Many teachers are simply given books selected by someone else, or textbooks assigned according to standardized, national exams But even if we do not choose the textbook we work with, there are ways, even in this situation, to create opportunities for professional development In Part Two, we will explore some of these opportunities.
If you do decide or help to decide which English language textbooks you and your students use, then you are making important decisions because the textbooks we choose and use can directly affect the quality and quantity of English language teaching and learning in our classrooms.
T18 |
Trang 21The World Link Teacher’s Book Professional Development Pages by Dr Andy Curtis, Anaheim University
There are as many different meanings of teaching as there are teachers, because teaching—like learning—is a personal experience As it is a unique experience, it is never exactly the same for any two teachers or for any two students Compare your definition with the description below of how teaching and learning happens
Teaching and learning are the result of a series of choices and decisions, made by the teacher and by the students Sometimes, the choices and decisions are made together, between students and teachers, and sometimes they are made independently Teaching—like learning—is about making choices and making decisions.
In a single English language lesson, the teacher— and the students—may make hundreds of moment-to-moment choices and decisions.
ABOUT TEXTBOOKS AS PART OF OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Although choices and decisions are similar, they are not exactly the same For example, in an English language class, a teacher may choose between one student and another, both of whom have raised their hands to answer a question But decisions in classrooms are often a little more complicated, for example, deciding whether or not to continue with a particular activity, as your decision here will affect the timing for the rest of the lesson
In the English language classroom, there are so many decisions being made that teachers are unaware of many—or even most—of them But away from the classroom, we can reflect on our decisions so we can understand better why we decided to follow one course of action rather than another So, if we think carefully about why we decide to use one textbook over another, we are engaged in a professional development process
If we think and talk with other teachers about the strengths and weaknesses of one textbook compared to another, we are engaged in professional development
If we read a short article about how to evaluate textbooks, so that our decisions are informed not only by our knowledge, skills, and experiences, but also by a systematic way of assessing textbooks, then we are also engaged in professional development Thinking about the decisions we make when we select an English language textbook can become part of our professional development But once the decision about which textbook to use has been made, there are many other decisions that need to be made as well.
C SHARING AND CHARTING YOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT These activities are designed so that they can be carried out by one person, but as teaching and learning are interactive events, you will learn more from these activities if you work on them with another teacher, or with a group of teachers, that you know and trust
Sharing is an important part of your professional development Even if you are all using different English language textbooks, you can still learn a lot from each other by exchanging ideas and experiences, as the challenges you face and the decisions you make are often similar
We have left spaces for you to write your responses to the different tasks and activities in this section for two reasons
First, your notes will help you share your thoughts with other teachers But your notes may also form an important part of documenting your professional development, even if you work by yourself
Development, growth, and change—like teaching and learning—are often invisible, so it is important to keep a record of your development, for yourself and for others.
TASK 17
If you decided to use this World Link textbook, on
what did you base that decision?
I decided to use this World Link textbook because
If the decision to use this textbook was made by someone else, talk with them about that decision.
| T19
Trang 22The World Link Teacher’s Book Professional Development Pages by Dr Andy Curtis, Anaheim University
TASK 18
Think of some other English language textbooks you
have used recently How is this World Link textbook
similar to those other textbooks, and in what ways is it different from those textbooks?
A good English language textbook should help the teacher and the students learn more, and learn more effectively and more enjoyably Your textbook should add to your lesson, not detract from it.
TASK 19
How could this World Link textbook help develop
your English teaching?
E GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WORLD LINK TEXTBOOK
When we make decisions, we generally base those decisions on our knowledge, skills, and experiences.
If we are to make the most of our textbooks and use them as part of our professional development, we must have a thorough knowledge of the textbook
How well do you know your World Link textbook?
Q2 True or False? The first part of each unit is called Lesson A and is made up of six main parts
Q3 Can you name all the parts of Lesson A in the
Q4 True or False? The second part of each unit is called Lesson B, and is made up of six main
Q6 Can you give the unit number and title of two of
the units in your World Link textbook?
Q8 Who are the writers of this textbook?
Q9 Where, when, and by whom was this textbook published?
T20 |
Trang 23The World Link Teacher’s Book Professional Development Pages by Dr Andy Curtis, Anaheim University
ASKING QUESTIONS
The key to making your textbooks part of your professional development is to keep asking questions that explore the decisions you make as you use the textbook.
Before you use a textbook, it is important to
consider it in its entirety, then make decisions about individual units, and finally make decisions about the different parts within each unit.
TASK 21
Here are some examples of questions you should
consider before starting to use your World Link
Q1 Do you plan to use all 12 of the units in the textbook? If so, why? If not, which units will you not use, and why?
Q2 Do you intend to use the units in the order in which they are presented? If yes, why?
Q3 If you plan to change the order of the units and present them in a different sequence, why, and what sequence do you plan to use?
Reason(s) for changing the sequence:
Alternative sequence:
ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEXTBOOK The questions in Task 21 are related to adapting
your World Link textbook to your local teaching
and learning context, as every student and every teacher is unique, as we discussed earlier, and every teaching and learning context is unique Because of this uniqueness, once a textbook has been chosen, or adopted, it may also then need to be “localized,” or adapted.
TASK 22
What are some aspects of your English language teaching and learning environment that make it different from others?
TASK 23
Describe the students with whom you expect you will be using this book.
Q1 First language: Q2 Age range:
Q3 Number of years they have studied English:
Q4 English language ability levels:
Q5 Reasons for learning English:
Q6 What makes these students different from other students?
Q7 You are unique, too! What makes you different from other English language teachers you work with?
| T21
Trang 24The World Link Teacher’s Book Professional Development Pages by Dr Andy Curtis, Anaheim University
In Part One, we talked about the importance of change in professional development.
TASK 24
Are there any changes you plan to make to your
World Link textbook to adapt it to your English
language teaching and learning environment? If so, what kinds of changes will you make?
TASK 25
Are there any changes you will make to your World Link textbook to adapt it to your English language
If so, what kinds of changes will you make?
TASK 26
Are there any changes you will make to your World Link textbook to adapt it to your teaching style(s)?
If so, what kinds of changes will you make?
There are other questions you could ask yourself as well, including: What local objects and artifacts can I—and my students—bring in to supplement and localize the material in the textbook? These “pedagogical artifacts” are sometimes called “realia.”
Another way of using our textbooks as part of your professional development is to make it a focus of your pre-lesson, during-lesson, and post-lesson reflection.
We have already looked at many examples of some of the questions you might ask before and during the lesson, related to your textbook But there are many questions you should ask afterwards These include:
• Did that unit or lesson work the way I thought it would? If not, how was it different? It is important to remember here that a lesson may go better than you thought it would, so “different” can be “different but better” as well as “different and worse” than you thought it would be!
• If I had to reteach the same lesson, using the same unit, what would I do the same, what would I do differently, and why?
• Were the materials at the right level for my students? If so, how do I know? If not, what changes can I make so that the material matches the students’ levels more closely? • Did students appear to understand all of the
instructions for all of the exercises?
We hope we have helped you to start thinking of
your World Link textbook as part of your professional
development By using your textbook carefully, thoughtfully, and reflectively, your textbook can help you learn as well as help you teach Good luck! Enjoy!

ABOUT THE PHOTO
People enjoy an art exhibition in Santiago de Compostela, Spain This building—the Casa do Cabido—was built in the Baroque style of architecture in 1758 in order to close off the Plaza de las Platerías from the rest of the city Because it was built more for aesthetic and structural reasons than for functional ones, it is only four meters wide The Casa do Cabido was restored in 2011; since then, it has been used as a museum.
INTRODUCE THE THEME
In this unit, students will practice introducing themselves and asking and answering questions about personal information Being able to talk about ourselves and ask about others is a fundamental part of communication Students will explore vocabulary and grammatical structures that can be used to describe their own physical appearance and that of other people.
In Lesson A, students will ask and answer personal information questions based on information from a social media profile They will practice the listening strategy of listening for details and will practice introducing themselves and asking questions They will also review the simple present In Lesson B, students will learn how to describe a person’s appearance, exploring how
the verbs be and have can be
used to talk about appearance as well as studying some useful vocabulary for describing it They will read about fake photos and will practice a reading strategy related to comprehension.
Write the answers to five basic questions about yourself on
the board (e.g., 37, New York, Chicago, English Teacher, 163 )
Students’ task is to ask you the
questions to these answers (e.g., How old are you? Where are you
from? Where do you live? What is your job? How tall are you? ) Call
on students to ask a question, and when the correct question is asked, cross the answer out on the board
Look at the photo Answer the questions 5 min
Have students look at the photo and elicit what they can see Look at the two questions and give them some suggestions of what they can focus on as they answer them For example, for the first question, you can get them to think about
how old the people are, what they look like and what kind of people normally go to galleries For the second question, ask them to point out specific people in the photo and say what they are doing Have students answer the questions in pairs Then ask some pairs to share their answers with the class.

TEACHING TIP: Putting Students at Ease in an Online Class
Taking part in online classes for the first time can be a daunting experience for both students and
teachers Students often feel very self-conscious about turning on their cameras and microphones For the warm-up (and until students feel more confident in the online classroom), set a good example by keeping your own video and microphone on but allowing students to write their guesses in the chat box This means that they can be active participants in the exercise without the pressure of speaking on camera.
her love of the color green Her home is full of green things, she dresses completely in green, and she even has green hair She traces her love of green back to a childhood visit to Florida and says she will continue to wear green because it makes people smile A Watch the video with the
sound off Check the green things you see 5–10 min
Go through the list and check that students understand each of the words Tell them that they will watch the video more than once, and the first time there will be no sound Play the video and have students check the green things that they see Check the answers B Read the sentences Then
watch the video with the sound on Choose your answers 5–10 min
Tell students that they will watch the video again Give them time to read through the sentences Play the video, then give them time to compare answers with a partner Check answers with the class C Choose the sentence that
is true about the Green Lady 5 min
Have students think about the video and choose the correct answer Point out that the third option is not correct because it states that the Green Lady wants to go to Florida, but in the video, she talks about how she went to Florida when she was young.
D What do you think of the Green Lady? Tell a partner 5 min
Assign students a partner and ask them to tell each other what they think of the Green Lady Encourage them to expand on their answers, giving a reason for their opinion.

Trang 351A GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Write social media on the board and elicit platforms
students know Discuss what the preferred social
media sites are in the class Write the word profile
on the board and ask students if they know what this means If they don’t know the word, explain that it is a personal page on a social media
platform where people can share information about themselves Elicit the kind of information you can find on a social media profile You may also want to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of making personal information like this public A Look at Silvia’s profile Practice saying the words
in blue 5 min
Ask students to look at the words in blue on Silvia’s profile Read the words aloud one at a time and have students repeat them Check that they understand the meaning of all the words in
blue It may be useful to clarify first name and last name (see Culture Tip) Also point out that hometown is where you are from and lives refers
to where you currently live.
CULTURE TIP: First Name and Last Name
English speakers often use the terms first name (given name) and last name (surname or family
name) Some other cultures don’t fit this pattern In Asian countries, the family name is often written first (Park Yong-Jun: Park = family name; Yong-Jun = first name) In Spanish-speaking countries, some people use both their father’s and mother’s family names (Teresa Sanchez Rios: Teresa = first name; Sanchez = father’s family name; Rios = mother’s family name) In Islamic countries, some people use their father’s first name after their own first name (Rashid Omar al-Arabi: Rashid = first name; Omar = father’s first name; al-Arabi = family name).
TEACHING TIP: Pronunciation Practice
Having students repeat the words in A gives the
teacher the opportunity to identify and correct any pronunciation issues before students use the
vocabulary independently in B Make sure that you
provide a clear model of the words for your students to copy, highlighting where the word stress is Have students repeat the words as a whole class to build up confidence before asking individual students to pronounce the words.
B Work with a partner Complete the questions and answers about Silvia with the words in blue from
A 10–15 min
With the class, read one or two of the questions and complete them together Have students complete the rest with a partner Then check answers with the class Read the questions and answers aloud for students to repeat in chorus Review the information about how to say email addresses, and write more addresses on the board for the class to practice saying them Discuss with the class whether students feel comfortable saying their own email addresses If they do not feel comfortable giving out such personal information, have students invent email addresses to practice saying them Use the information note to remind students how we say certain email addresses: edu = dot e-d-u; net = dot net; uk = dot u-k C PRONUNCIATION:Question Intonation Read
the questions Then listen and repeat Notice the intonation 2 5–10 min
Have students read the directions Then play the audio track, and ask students to repeat each question Help them notice how the intonation falls
at the end of Wh- questions Write the questions
on the board and draw arrows to show the intonation Remind students about intonation—the rising and falling in our speaking—and that every language has different intonation Explain to the class that practicing intonation will make their English sound more natural.
TEACHING TIP: Intonation
To highlight the correct intonation of different types of sentences, demonstrate by raising and lowering your hand and moving it left to right as you say the sentence, showing the “contour” of the sentence Repeat and have students follow along with their hands Have them say the phrases or sentences to a partner, using their hands for emphasis as well.
D Interview a partner Use the questions in B as a
model 15 min
Model the exercise by having a student ask you the questions Then assign students to pairs and have them ask each other the questions Encourage them to take notes so they can present their partner to the class When all pairs have finished, call on students to share one or two pieces of information about their partner Tell students to invent any personal information they do not feel comfortable providing.
EXTRA! Class Contact List 15 min
Have each student make a class list in their notebook with each student’s first name and last name
Students may also share email addresses and telephone numbers if they feel comfortable doing so They should go around the class asking for people’s information until they have a complete list

C What is each person interested in at the festival? Write your answers in B Then listen one more time and check your answers
D Imagine you can go to the festival What are you interested in? Tell a partner.
I’m interested in Korean music and culture.
Draw students’ attention to the photo and the caption Ask them to tell you about any similar festivals they know Elicit what people usually do at these festivals.
A An interviewer is asking people questions at a festival in South Korea Listen Then write the missing words 3 5 min
Write the incomplete questions on the board Tell students that they are going to listen to an interviewer asking people these questions at a festival in South Korea Tell them that first, they are going to predict what words complete the sentences (see Teaching Tip) Ask for volunteers to make predictions and write them on the board Tell students that they will now listen to the audio track and complete the sentences with what they hear Play the audio track, then have them compare their answers with a partner Check the answers with the class
TEACHING TIP: Predicting
Predicting what we are going to hear helps activate related vocabulary and other useful background information that is stored in our brains This helps us understand what we are listening to You can help
students at the predicting stage in A by having them
think about what kind of word they would expect to
find in each blank (e.g., a Wh- question word).
B Listen for details Listen again Complete the
chart with each person’s job and city only Write
NM for information that is not mentioned 3
5–10 min
Tell students that they will listen to the audio track
again, and this time, they have to fill in the Job and City columns of the chart Remind them to write NM if the information is not mentioned, and that they don’t need to fill in the Interest column
of the chart yet Play the audio track and have them compare their answers with a partner If necessary, play the audio track again to give them a second chance to complete the exercise.
Listen for details When we listen for details, we
are trying to identify the specific information that we need to complete a task, instead of focusing on the big picture Before listening, elicit from students the important details they are listening for (job and city) Remind them that they don’t need to understand every word; they just need to focus on this key information.
C What is each person interested in at the festival? Write your answer in B Then listen one more time and check your answers 3 5 min
Write interested in on the board and elicit the
meaning (If you are interested in something, you want to give your attention to it and know more about it.) Ask students to tell you some things that they are interested in (see Language Tip) Have them listen to the audio track once more
and fill in the Interest column in the chart in B
Check the answers with the class
LANGUAGE TIP: Interested in
Draw students’ attention to the preposition in that often follows interested Adjectives are often followed by prepositions, such as in, of, or on
Unfortunately, there isn’t a fixed rule to tell us which preposition goes with which adjective Therefore, it’s useful to encourage students to note the preposition that goes with the adjective when recording new vocabulary.
D Imagine you can go to the festival What are you interested in? Tell a partner 5–10 min
Have students work in pairs Ask them to imagine that they can go to the Global Village Festival and get them to tell their partners what they are interested in Encourage them to ask follow-up questions For example, if they are interested in trying food from around the world, what kind of food would they most like to try? Call on one or two students to share their partner’s answer with the class.
TEACHING TIP: Comparing Answers with a Partner
Before conducting whole-class feedback on
exercises that students have completed individually,
like A, give students time to compare answers in
pairs first This can help them feel more confident when participating in whole-class feedback and provides an extra opportunity for students to communicate in English.
TEACHING OPTION
If students are finding the listening exercises difficult, you can help them by pausing the audio track after each speaker You could also play the audio track an extra time, if necessary.

Write Meeting for the first time in a circle on the
board You could also display a visual of two people meeting for the first time on the board to help introduce the topic Draw some lines coming out from the circle and ask the class to tell you some things that people might say when meeting for the first time Write down each suggestion at the end of a line, creating a mind map on the board Possible
answers could include Hello, / Hi, my name is What’s your name? Nice to meet you / Pleased to meet you / Good to meet you.
A Read the conversation and listen Are Danny and Mariana meeting for the first time? How do you know? 4 10 min
Have students look at the photo Elicit
information about the man, such as how old he is and what he is doing Tell them that he is a university student and elicit different subjects that people can study at university Tell students that they will listen to a conversation between two people who live in the same apartment building Ask students to listen and decide if the people are meeting for the first time Play the audio track, then check the answers Possible answers for how we know they are meeting for the first time are that they exchange names, they tell each other which apartment they are in, and
they say, Nice to meet you.
B Practice the conversation in A with a partner
Then practice with your own information 10 min
Assign students to pairs and ask them to practice the conversation twice, switching roles the second time Then, with the class, read through the conversation and have students underline the information that will change when they make their own conversation (the names, apartment numbers, and occupations) Give students a minute to think about the information they will substitute into the conversation Have students practice the new conversation with their partners Ask several pairs to present their conversations to the class.
C Introduce yourself to four classmates Ask them about their jobs and complete the chart Use the Speaking Strategy to help you 10–15 min
With the class, read through the questions and answers in the Speaking Strategy Point out that these expressions were used in the
conversation in B Model the expressions with
several students Explain that What do you do?
asks about a person’s work or studies and is a common question when native English speakers
meet someone for the first time Where are you from? is another common question to ask when
you meet someone Tell students to stand up with their books and walk around the class, talking with their classmates When they are finished, they should sit down (see Teaching Tip).
TEACHING TIP: Mingling
In mingling exercises, where students are required to speak to several different classmates, it is fun to have students stand up and walk around the classroom instead of just talking to people sitting near them This can give them the opportunity to talk to a greater variety of people and inject some extra energy into the class If this is not possible due to space restrictions, try to get the class seated next to new people at the start of the exercise A simple way to do this is to assign each student a letter (A, B, C, or D, for example) and have students with the same letter sit together.
Play the audio track of the phrases in the Speaking Strategy Draw attention to the word stress Play the expressions again, pausing after each one so that students can listen and repeat.
D Tell a partner about the classmates you talked to in C 10–15 min
Assign students to new pairs Point out that they need to use the third person to tell their partner about other people in their class On the board,
write, Danny works in an art gallery and Mariana studies music Help students notice how the
verbs change in the third person (by adding
either s or ies) After pairs have finished, call on
students to tell the class one interesting thing they learned about a classmate.
ONLINE TEACHING OPTION
You can carry out mingling exercises in online classes by using breakout rooms It is best to keep the numbers of students in each breakout room fairly low (4–5 people) to allow each student the chance to participate and to make it easy for them to manage the conversation.
Teacher’s Book UNIT 1, Lesson A | 6a
Trang 40GRAMMAR
On the board, write down two or three sentences
about what students in the class do (e.g., Ana works in a bank David studies photography Julia teaches French.) You will have learned
this information in the Speaking section, but you can pick out students and ask them if you don’t remember Ask if anyone knows what verb form is used in these sentences (simple present).
A Read the Unit 1, Lesson A Grammar Reference in the appendix Complete the exercises Then do the exercises below 20–30 min
Go through the charts in the Grammar Reference with the class Highlight the differences between
I /you / we / they and he / she / it in both the
affirmative and negative columns Guide them
through the Yes / No questions with be and
other verbs, and point out that if the question
has do / does, the short answer has it, too Point out how Wh- questions are formed, paying
attention to word order Have them complete the practice exercise in pairs, first completing the questions and answers with the correct words, then matching the questions with the appropriate answers Instead of doing this in class, you could ask students to work through this section before class, leaving more time in the classroom for communicative exercises.
B Read Steffi’s paragraph Write the correct form of each verb 15 min
Before students complete the sentences, remind them to think about spelling changes between the first- and third-person grammatical forms Model the first one or two items Have students complete the answers with the correct form of each verb After students write their answers, have them compare with a partner Then check answers as a class by writing them on the board.
C Complete questions 1–4 with the correct form of be or do Complete questions 5–8 with a Wh- question
word Then take turns asking and answering the questions with a partner 10–15 min
Have students read the questions and complete them Ask them to compare their answers with a partner, then check answers with the class and write them on the board Then have them ask each other the questions You could have Partner A ask questions 1–4 and Partner B ask questions 5–8 Then ask students to say how they are similar to or different from Steffi and Monica.
D Complete each sentence with the affirmative or negative form of a verb from the box to make it true for you 5–10 min
Model two different sentences about yourself to demonstrate how the sentences can be formed with the affirmative or negative form of a verb from the box Have students write the correct form of the verb, affirmative or negative, so the sentences are true for them Call on volunteers to share one sentence with the class.
E How are you and your partner similar and different? Use your sentences in D to form questions Ask follow-up questions 10 min
Have students read the directions Then read the example question and follow-up question aloud with a student Go through the sentences and elicit the question and a possible follow-up question for each one Then assign students to pairs and have them ask each other questions about each sentence to find out how similar or different they are Call on different pairs to tell the class their similarities and differences (see Teaching Option).
TEACHING OPTION
To encourage students to ask several questions, you could challenge them to find five similarities and five differences, or have a competition to see which pair can find the most things in common You could also put students into new pairs after they have finished and have them tell their new partner about the similarities and differences that they found.
GRAMMAR TIP: Simple Present
The simple present is used for general truths and facts (Most Americans speak English.); routines and habitual events (I get up at 6:00.); and with stative verbs—verbs that describe mental processes (That soup smells good.).
EXTRA! Partner Facts 20 min
Tell students to write a paragraph about their partner, including the information from the interview
in E and any other facts they know A fun way
to round off this exercise could be to collect the paragraphs and read them aloud (or have other students read them aloud) without reading the name The rest of the class could listen and guess who is being described.
