Dictionary work
This task promotes students autonomy and encourages them to be responsible for their own learning. The
words in the Dictionary pages provide the active vocabulary for the lesson and are recycled in the following
lessons and modules. Listening to new words as they are played on the cassette encourages students to
pronounce them correctly.
6
Module Theme
Before you start
Students use the notes they have taken in the previous lesson in a new situation. Sometimes dictionary work
is part of this section.
Reading
Students read about the module theme. They are encouraged to expand upon the information and the
vocabulary learnt in the previous lesson.
Grammar
Action Pack 7 teaches grammar in context and encourages students to work out the grammar rules themselves.
In the Language Development section, students check their hypotheses.
Skills focus
The four skills reading, listening, speaking and writing are the centre of this section, emphasising practice
and production of language. This section provides plenty of opportunities for students to develop
critical-thinking skills and express their own opinions.
Communication Workshop
The aim of this section is for students to actively practise and recycle the vocabulary and grammar learnt in
the module and in previous ones. Developing students self-sufciency, autonomy and responsibility is one of
the main objectives of Action Pack 7, but promoting solidarity and a healthy group work atmosphere is no less
important. Most of the activities of this section are based on group and pair work.
Language Development
This section consolidates the grammar and vocabulary that students have encountered in the module. The
aim of consolidation in Action Pack 7 is to develop grammatical knowledge and lexical accuracy. The Language
Development section also provides a good opportunity to revisit the difcult words and structures introduced
in the module.
?
Those boxes are found at the end of every Language Development section of every module. They are generally
problem-solving exercises based on the theme of the module. Students will have to do research on the
Internet to know the answer to some of them. Refer to page 122 of the Teachers Book for more details and
examples about problem solving.
7
Project
Each module ends with a project that students do in pairs or in groups. Refer to page 120 of the Teachers
Book for more details and examples about project-based learning.
Revision
There are two revision sections, one after every third module. These are designed to help students check their
progress in a relaxed atmosphere. These activities can also be done after every module, depending on the
teachers and students needs. A global Progress check at the end of each revision lesson enables each student
to record his or her progress after recycling and decide whether or not they need any further practice.
Grammar Notes
Detailed notes of the grammatical structures students have learnt during the year, presented in the
appropriate language and to be used for revision, are provided at the end of the Students Book.
I remember ...
This section helps teachers identify students strong and weak points at the beginning of the year and later to
evaluate what they have learnt throughout the year.
First section
The exercises in this section are based on recognition of the vocabulary and structures introduced in the
module. They are especially devised for weaker students in multi-level groups.
Second section
The exercises in this section present a higher degree of complexity as they require actual use of the vocabulary
and structures introduced in the module.
Third section
This section is to be done as further practice, building on the Communication Workshop in the Students Book.
8
Fourth section
This section focuses on writing. Different types of discourse are introduced. The use of punctuation marks,
conjunctions or linking words and spelling are presented and practised here.
Key Features
Flexibility
Action Pack 7 is an extremely exible course especially designed to be used within a school language-learning
context. It can accommodate courses of three to ve periods per week.
Topic-based modules
Action Pack 7 consists of thematic modules based on a carefully graded language syllabus and a restricted
application of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). This approach makes it possible for students
to develop all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing, while using them to learn about
subjects such as geography, history, ecology and literature.
Students have the opportunity to listen, read, talk and write about unusual jobs and activities (Module 1),
ecology and the environment (Module 2), markets, museums, and other places in the city (Module 3), ancient
cities and wonders of the world (Module 4), great detectives (Module 5) and travelling on Earth (Module 6).
Within each module, there are six sections which develop different aspects of the modules theme. These
sections are organised around the development of the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and
writing. For example, in Module 4, the Past Simple is introduced to talk about ancient cities and ancient,
as well as modern, wonders of the world. Students then write a report on a world wonder of their choice,
making a project and an oral presentation on it.
Collaborative learning
In Action Pack 7, the teaching of English is viewed as a process of developing and enhancing students
ability to learn effectively as individuals and collaboratively in groups. Individual, pair and group work
tasks are carefully combined. Refer to page 121 of the Teachers Book for more details and examples about
collaborative learning.
9
Multi-level approach
The existence of different levels of experience and knowledge of English among students is often one of the
sources of tension in the classroom.
The Activity Book helps to improve this situation by providing extra practice at two different levels (First
section recognition; Second section production). It complements the material in the Students Book by
providing clear and complete writing rules (spelling, use of capitals and punctuation marks, linking words,
style, etc.) which helps those students who need extra help in developing their writing skills.
At the end of the Teachers Book, there is a section entitled Assessment Strategies. It suggests various strategies
for use in the classroom, such as checklists, graphic organisers and Likert scales. This section also refers to
activities for each strategy from the Students Book. It is also followed by a few assessment tools which you
can use in the activities you nd suitable.
10
Teaching Action Pack 7
Teaching listening
Action Pack 7 provides plenty of opportunities for listening to native speakers.
Remember, however, that you are the students closest model and you need to follow some simple rules:
Speak slowly and clearly, and look at students when you speak.
Do not speak while you are writing on the board it is essential that students see your face when you
speak.
When you are teaching new vocabulary, play the recording at least three times before asking them to say it.
Do not allow students to speak while you are speaking.
Encourage students to listen to one another when they are speaking and reading aloud.
Try to be positive: praising those who are paying attention is more productive than admonishing those who
are not.
At the end of this grade, students will be able to:
develop strategies of active listening to conrm meaning in simple discussions and presentations;
demonstrate understanding of simple instructions, discussions and roleplays in realistic contexts.
Teaching speaking
Action Pack 7 provides plenty of opportunities for talking. It helps you to:
Encourage students to use English in their classroom exchanges to make them feel condent.
Encourage students to participate in the class and group discussions and presentations, and to act out
dialogues. Provide them with variation in their practice by having them act out their dialogues with
different characters or by imagining new ones. Introduce different intonation patterns like surprise,
politeness, anger, friendliness, unfriendliness and so on.
At the end of this grade, students will be able to:
speak new English words and sentences clearly and correctly;
use new words and sentences to participate in simple discussions and conversations in authentic contexts;
take part in well-prepared simple presentations to the class.
Teaching reading
The passages in each module and the extensive reading section Reading for fun at the end of Action Pack 7
Students Book provide useful controlled reading practice.
Do not hesitate to use the ? section to set extra reading tasks that will allow your students to read real
passages with a communicative purpose.
At the end of this grade, students will be able to:
use reading strategies to understand simple authentic informational and literary reading materials;
demonstrate understanding of simple informational and literary reading materials (e.g. interviews,
brochures, etc.);
make connections between prior knowledge and experiences and simple authentic informational and
literary reading materials (e.g. websites, interviews, brochures, etc.).
11
Teaching writing
Encourage good spelling by doing the vocabulary sections in the Students Book and the Activity Book.
Show your students that learning punctuation and the use of linking words is of extreme importance.
Whenever possible, ask your students to do the exercises in Communication Workshop in the
Students Book and Fourth section in the Activity Book.
Take advantage of students enthusiasm and artistic skills. Have them do all the writing exercise, and
whenever possible display their work on the classroom walls.
At the end of this grade, students will be able to:
gather information and ideas from print and electronic sources to organise and write in simple authentic
contexts;
write 23 paragraphs for specic simple purposes and audiences such as short reports, narrative
accounts and presentations;
use appropriate organisational patterns to create simple authentic written work;
revise written work for clarity, correctness and coherence with the assistance of peers and teachers;
apply knowledge of the conventions of language (e.g. spelling, punctuation, grammar and usage).
Roleplaying
The use of roleplay has many advantages. It gives students the opportunity to practise the language
they have learned in open-ended, realistic situations. It also allows them to hide behind an imaginary
personality, thereby liberating them to express themselves in the target language in ways that they might
nd more difcult when being themselves.
The choice of scenario or situation for the roleplay is very important. The scenario needs to be interesting
and relevant to the students. It also needs to be within their linguistic reach. The emphasis should be on
practising vocabulary and structures rather than on introducing new material, although a few new words
may need to be identied and rehearsed to make the roleplay work well. The Students Book includes a
number of roleplay scenarios (pages 12, 20, 70 and 85).
If you nd that your students enjoy and benet from the roleplays in the Students Book, you may decide
to design some of your own. Each participant writes notes on cards to remember what he/she has to
say. These are called cuecards. The notes on the cuecard should be specic enough to give the students a
clear idea of their roles, and should include all the information they will need; but the notes should also
be general enough to allow the students freedom to approach the problem and to decide precisely what
language to use.
It can be useful to introduce a conict or problem into the situation. This makes the roleplay activity less
mechanical and more open-ended. For example, a customer in a shop asks for items on a shopping list, but
the salesperson does not have all the items on the list, and has to apologise or offer alternative products.
Students may need some input from the teacher or from one another as preparation for the roleplay itself.
This may involve pairs or groups noting words, ideas and structures that will be useful, or a whole-class
brainstorming session, with prompts written on the board.
Once all the above groundwork has been completed, the prompts prepared and the target language
identied, the roles can be assigned to individual students. You may ask one group to model the roleplay in
front of the whole class before other groups attempt it, or you may have a number of groups practising their
roleplays simultaneously before selected groups perform in front of others.
When the roleplay activity is nished, allow students to comment in a positive way on one anothers
performance. You may use this opportunity to make general remarks about language errors and offer
corrections, but do not single out individuals who have made those errors, and certainly do not interrupt
any of the roleplay performances to correct students grammar or use of vocabulary. Finally, you could invite
students to tell the class what they have learned by watching and participating in the roleplay activity.
12
You may use the following checklist for answering the students performance:
Writing a brochure
Brochures are usually intended to persuade customers to buy products or services, or to provide public
service or educational information. The rst task when planning a brochure is to decide on its purpose. In
the three instances in the Students Book where students are asked to write a brochure (pages 36, 39, 77
and 85) the purpose of the brochure is explicitly stated (describing an eco-friendly public transportation
system; describing a place Ibn Battuta visited; telling what Ali saw in Jordan).
The second task in the process is to identify the audience. Who is expected to read the brochure and why?
Answering these questions will determine the language level, tone and register of the language content of
the brochure.
Next, students should write down what they already know about the theme of the brochure, whether this
information is taken from their general knowledge, their prior experience, or directly from reading their
textbook.
At this stage, it is a good idea for students to collect and bring to class any brochures that they can nd,
either at home or at outlets such as tourist information ofces. Even if the content of such brochures is
quite different from the ones that students are attempting to make, the existing brochures will provide
useful ideas for design, font and layout, which students may decide to incorporate in their own work.
Students then conduct any research necessary to expand and develop the information in their brochure.
Students need to work together to produce a list of what needs to be included in the brochure.
13
Using notebooks
You should encourage students to be active participants in the classroom. One way to do this is to
encourage them to use notebooks resourcefully.
Notebooks serve various purposes. First, students are expected to do the exercises in the Students Book
on notebooks. Theyll have more space to present the answers neatly using the margins and freedom to
manipulate the presentation of the answers, i.e. according to module or page.
Second, encourage your students to write down any notes they take from reading texts, class discussions or
any other activity. Tell them that note taking is an active process. They have to be actively involved in the
process of listening or reading and to decide what to note down. They have to be selective and brief; they
can achieve this by concentrating on key words and not whole structures. Tell them it is a very benecial
study skill that serves various purposes:
summary notes give an overview of a topic
memory notes help students retain information
revision notes are a good source for revision
Tell students that they can take notes in different ways.
charting a graph or a ow chart is used for processes; a table is used for facts
outlining headings and subheadings using Roman numerals (I, II, III, ), the alphabet (A, B, C, )
and Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, )
mapping a tree structure with the purpose in the middle and ideas in the branches
sentence method a number of sentences, each of an idea
SQ3R Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review. The material is surveyed for ideas; ideas are put in
question form; the text is read; notes are taken under headings; a summary is made from memory; and
nally notes are reviewed
guided notes handouts with missing information to be lled in
Remind your students that they dont need to take notes of every single idea and certainly not to duplicate
notes of any texts or handouts they already have.
Here its worth noting the difference between note-taking and note-making. While the rst refers to jotting
down notes from an activity youre encountering for the rst time to use it later, note-making is the use
of these notes to do another activity, such as planning for a discussion of your own, writing your own
paragraph or essay, etc
Third, notebooks can be an excellent store for new vocabulary encountered in reading tasks. Encourage
students to spare a specic section in the notebook for a personal glossary. Here they store challenging
words and expressions that they think would be of use to them as active vocabulary in their writing tasks.
For each word, they may choose to include the denition, part of speech, the meaning in Arabic and a
sentence that has the word. Give them some freedom to choose the words and the way of writing them,
i.e. alphabetically, according to modules or topics.
Students can also gather idioms and proverbs that are new and interesting for them to learn. Such study
skill habits make students see themselves as active participants in their own learning.
Using dictionaries
Make sure students know the purpose of using a dictionary:
to nd the meaning of words
to check spelling
to pronounce words correctly
Ask them general questions about how they think a dictionary is organised and whether there might be
any difculties using it. Make sure they know the alphabetical sequence (use games, songs, recitations,
etc.). Guide them through classroom activities to help them become familiar with the dictionary, e.g. where
to nd words beginning with b (beginning of dictionary) as opposed to words beginning with t (end of
dictionary). Other activities are putting words in a list in alphabetical order, putting books according to titles
or authors in alphabetical order.
Encourage your students to use a dictionary only when they need to. To nd a word, students look at the
upper top left-hand and right-hand corner of the page. Words are printed in large bold type. The rst of
these two words shows you which is the rst word on that page; the second shows you which is the last
word to be found on that page. If the rst letters of two words are the same, they need to look at the next
letters to decide the correct order.
14
Once they have found the word they are looking for, they need to know what information they nd:
1. the dened word;
2. the phonological transcription of the word (the pronunciation, a note if it is American or British);
3. the part of speech, for example n. refers to noun, v. refers to verb (students need to look for the list of
abbreviation in the dictionary);
4. denition(s) of the word. If there is more than one denition, the different meanings will be separated
by numbers. Students need to refer to the context to know which meaning is the one intended;
5. an example sentence using the dened word.
Here is an example entry from a dictionary:
civilisation BrE; civilization AmE /sIvIlaizeiSn/ n. 1 a society that is well organised and developed; the ancient
civilisation of Greece 2 the comfort and convenience of modern life; the civilisation of the city
Note that students should not rely on dictionaries a lot. Encourage them to develop their own strategies
to guess the meaning of the word, its part of speech, etc. and to create their own dictionary.
Rapport building
It is very important for you to build a rapport with your students. When you show care and respect,
students will respond in the same manner. This will feed into a positive classroom environment that reduces
misbehaviour.
Classroom organisation
Maintain a well-organised classroom through the following steps to maintain success.
Follow a seating chart that you may vary every month or quarter to allow students different opportunities.
Place the desks in a way to secure easy movement for you and for your students.
Assign locations in the classroom for students to pick up extra work and missed assignments, and to hand in
assignments.
Make sure the students have easy access to material they need for their tasks.
Post all procedures students need to know or refer to on the wall or the bulletin board.
Post important events, such as national celebrations or school events on the classroom calendar.
Keep record of students attendance, tasks and achievements to refer to when needed.
Classroom climate
Follow the steps below to develop and maintain a positive classroom climate.
Guide students to share learning experiences in group work to encourage a cooperative attitude among
them.
Help students respect all people of different races, genders and abilities.
Agree with your students on acceptable standards of behaviour youd like them to acquire and model the
behaviour yourself in the classroom.
Lead students into the processes of critical thinking, self-development, study skills and problem solving.

Learning Strategies
Language Learning Strategies (LLS) are actions or techniques that students use to improve their progress in
developing foreign language skills. These strategies facilitate the internalisation, storage, retrieval and use of
the new language. They are tools for self-directed involvement which is necessary for developing students
communicative ability. According to Oxford (1990), LLS:
allow learners to become more self-directed
expand the role of language teachers
are problem-oriented
involve many aspects, not just the cognitive
can be taught
are exible
are inuenced by a variety of factors
The following are seven learning strategies that EFL teachers can use to promote effective communicative
practices among the students.
120
Cooperative/Collaborative Learning (CL)
In cooperative/collaborative learning techniques, learners are placed in situations that require authentic use
of language in order to communicate. When learners work in pairs or teams, they nd they need skills to plan,
organise, negotiate, make their points and arrive at a consensus about issues. They also have to agree on what
tasks to perform, who will be responsible for each task and how information will be researched and presented.
Through cooperative learning, students learn from each other in an environment supportive of group
interaction. Through collaborative learning, students exchange and reect on different views. As project work
is often done in teams, learners improve their capabilities for team-work and collaboration. They gain:
development of higher-order thinking skills
increased self-esteem and self-condence
In turn, the individuals strengths and preferred ways of learning enhance the work of the team as a whole.
These skills have also been identied by learners themselves as important for living successful lives.
Action Pack 7 provides good examples of tasks that require students to work cooperatively/collaboratively.
The following are examples:
Pair work: page 32, exercise 7; page 46, exercise 12; page 58, exercise 11
Group work: page 9, exercise 2; page 39, Project; page 41, exercise 4
Some general guidelines can be followed for all such activities:
Pre
Students are given clear instructions to work in pairs or in groups to perform the task.
During
Students are given enough time to read the task and ask and answer or discuss.
Post
Students may be asked to report their answers to the whole class.
Activity-based Learning
Students choose four categories of personal interest (book, electronic device, collected items, etc.) Then
they select four choices under each category. Students poll each other as to their favourite choice in each
category. Using this information, students enter their results into an electronic word document. From the
many examples of graphs, students choose and create the graph they want to use to represent their data.
Students present their work to the class and discuss it. Students works are bound into a book for future use
and sharing.
Prediction
Prediction is a learning strategy through which EFL students take an interactive role in the learning process.
This interaction is stimulated by the students background knowledge that acts as a catalyst for language
processing during reading or listening activities. Students who have and apply background knowledge in the
reading and listening tasks are able to construct the main idea faster than those who do not. This technique
will also give students a purpose for the task. The students will know what to focus on when they read or
listen, and they will perform the task to determine if their predictions are correct.
The following tasks require students to make predictions about the topic prior to reading or listening by
tapping into their prior knowledge to increase comprehension.
In Action Pack 7, Students Book pages 5 and 11, the students are encouraged to use the pictures to activate
their background knowledge about the job of a pilot, and different dangerous activities respectively. This
motivating pre-listening task makes students ready to comprehend the listening text faster and more easily
and thus perform the subsequent tasks more efciently.
Pre
The teacher reads the instructions:
Page 5, exercise 3: Look at the man in the picture above. What does he do?
Page 11, exercise 6: What do we call the people who do these activities?
The teacher elicits answers from students to direct the discussion of the subject.
Similarly, on pages 17 and 55, students can activate their background knowledge about global warming and
detectives through pictures that serve as prediction techniques for success and efciency in the reading tasks.
Pre
The teacher asks the students what they see in the pictures.
The teacher allows for answers from different students to lead into the discussion of the subject.
121
Questionnaire
The use of a carefully written questionnaire is a strategy that can provide an EFL teacher as well as students
with useful information about the students personality, uency in and motivation for learning English.
The questionnaire need not be long, in fact the shorter the better with the most information extracted or
brought up to the surface. Keeping it simple and aimed at the most students comfortable level is the most
difcult task. Carrying this out in the classroom depends upon how it is presented to the class and explained
by the teacher.
Action Pack 7 makes use of questionnaires to raise the students awareness of various topics, such as their
own selves: whether they like taking risks (Students Book page 12) or of more universal issues such as global
warming (Students Book page 20). The questionnaires are not long; there are just enough questions to help
students focus their attention on the key points of the topic. These questionnaires also serve as a motivating
tool that helps learners learn faster and more efciently.
Pre
Students are told they are going to respond to a questionnaire and that its very important to respond
truthfully.
During
Students are given time to read the questionnaire silently individually or in pairs.
Students are asked to add up the score according to the criteria in the Teachers Book (see pages 25, 34
respectively).
Post
If students score low, they realise their preference and may decide to do more about the issue.
Problem Solving
Divide your class into groups of four or ve. Give each group a problem to work on, such as the following:
You are annoyed by a certain behaviour or characteristic that your friend has. What can you do? Will you
approach him/her to solve this problem?
You borrowed a valuable device from your relative. An accident happened and resulted in the destruction
of this device. What are you going to do or tell your relative?
Your brother or sister has borrowed some money from you for a good cause. A couple of months passed
without them returning the money. How can you ask them about this?
You set an appointment to meet with your friends. You remember later that you have an important family
event. What will you do: go meet with your friends or apologise to them?
Students in their groups work together to identify the problem, explore solutions, look at alternatives and
exchange opinion. They may share their work with other groups to benet from their feedback to modify their
answers. Students will discuss the solutions in their groups.
Finally ask the students some questions to help them evaluate the activity, such as:
What was the most helpful about this exercise?
What did you learn?
What ideas were generated?
Which ones were most interesting?
Jigsaw
Select a reading passage, such as a story or an article. Divide it into parts. Students work in groups. Every
student in a group gets a part of the reading. They read it silently and tell the group about it, orally or in
writing. The members of the group work together to reconstruct the reading, following the correct order of
the parts. Finally they check it against the original one.
122
Assessment Strategies
Assessment is often referred to as the gathering of data. It is ongoing feedback and a necessary component
of the learning process, and should not occur only at the end of learning. Our challenge as English language
teachers is to nd ways to facilitate ongoing feedback for students that will increase their chances to grow
and improve their learning. The following are some important assessment strategies.
Checklists
The teacher creates a checklist based on a rubric. The checklist can be used by the teacher or the students. It
can be used at specic intervals when students are working on a task or at the end of the task. The former is
called an observation checklist and it focuses more on evaluating the process of learning than on the product.
Checklists can also be used for discussion or to be put in portfolios.
In the Communication Workshop in Action Pack 7, page 50, a checklist could be devised to evaluate the

Graphic Organisers
A graphic organiser is a visual communication tool that is used to express ideas and concepts. It represents
relationships between facts, terms or ideas within a learning task. It is a map because it can help teachers
and students map out their ideas in a visual manner. There are many similar names for graphic organisers
including: knowledge maps, concept maps, story maps, cognitive organisers, advance organisers, or concept
diagrams.
Graphic organisers which may be considered as learning strategies are also used as a form of assessment.
They reect what the students mind has seen of patterns and relationships.
In Action Pack 7, there are numerous opportunities to use graphic organisers as assessment tools. The
following are a few examples.
