Publisher's Synopsis
This course gives you everything you need for smart teaching, smart learning and smart talking! With the same simple formula in each lesson teachers can familiarise themselves quickly with the approach and teach straight off the page. No advance preparation is needed, but there is scope to adapt the lessons if required and plenty of ideas for extra activities in the Teacher's Guide. Lessons move from language introduction, to controlled use, down to freer use of language at the bottom of the page, so each lesson is easy to follow, and gives students the tools they need to use English confidently. Clear, simple learning outcomes at the end of every unit are presented in 'Now I can' boxes - encouraging students to self-assess their progress, and increase their confidence. Smart Talk's communicative focus means conversation pages focus on getting students speaking everyday English. The conversation contextualises the unit vocabulary and introduces grammar in a meaningful setting, showing students how the langauge can be used in a real life setting. Speaking pages at the end of every unit are all about fun, communicative exercises that strengthen students' fluency. Students are encouraged to continue researching the topic online, applying the unit topic to real-life scenarios and encouraging independent learning.
