Scheme of work
Notes
Course length: a course length of 2 years has been assumed.
Staffing: it is expected that most teaching centres will have one member of staff teaching the class 4 hours per week.
Skills: all skills are exemplified in the sub-units of the textbook. Students will get exposure to the skills needed in the various parts of their exam by
completing the skills tasks in each sub-unit, and also by using the exam corners at the end of each unit.
Strategies and phonic focus: strategies are exemplified in the Teacher notes for each unit. Phonic focus areas are exemplified in the study section
of the units. You will find at least one strategy and/or a phonic focus for each unit.
Homework: it would be expected that teachers will set some of the textbook activities for independent work in order to ensure full coverage of the
content. Vocabulary learning using the vocabulary lists at the end of each section will also support students. In order to ensure differentiation when
setting homework, students should always also be encouraged to develop their own strategies if they think that the strategies suggested by the book
are not ideal for their learning style.
Extra resources: grammar reference section on pages 224–47 of the Student Book; online: teacher notes and answers, audio transcripts,
vocabulary lists
