Introduzione Le profonde innovazioni in atto nel sistema di istruzione degli Adulti, a seguito del DPR n. 263 del 29 ottobre 2012, prevedono un nuovo assetto didattico-organizzativo e un’offerta formativa modulare strutturata per livelli a cui l’allievo adulto può accedere in base alle proprie competenze e conoscenze, ricomponendo così un personale percorso di istruzione che tiene in giusta considerazione le esperienze lavorative o di formazione eventualmente acquisite anche in ambienti non formali o informali. Il completamento del percorso scolastico – dal livello di base fino al raggiungimento del diploma di istruzione secondaria di secondo grado – è reso possibile dalla presenza di un sistema integrato basato sulla collaborazione e la sinergia fra i CPIA (per il primo livello didattico) e i serali superiori (per il secondo livello didattico). Nei CPIA è previsto che il percorso didattico di primo livello si concluda con l’acquisizione delle competenze connesse all’obbligo di formazione: si fa quindi riferimento ai contenuti didattici comuni del primo biennio dei corsi serali degli Istituti scolastici di secondo grado, prevalentemente – ma non esclusivamente – a indirizzo tecnico e professionale. Questo testo è stato pensato appositamente per gli studenti del biennio dei corsi serali e per coloro che frequentano il secondo periodo didattico del primo livello: adulti e giovani post-adolescenti, sia italiani che stranieri, che rientrano nel percorso di istruzione con un grande investimento personale e con il proprio bagaglio culturale che l’approfondimento della conoscenza della lingua inglese potrà fornire occasione per condividere. La scelta degli argomenti, dei personaggi e del materiale linguistico rispecchia l’esigenza di proporre la lingua straniera in attività motivanti e pertinenti al mondo adulto. Il testo propone un percorso intensivo per condurre studenti false beginners attraverso i livelli A1, A2 e parte del B1 del Common European Framework, operando una selezione dei contenuti grammaticali e delle funzioni linguistiche sulla base dei contesti comunicativi più rilevanti per gli studenti adulti e rispettando al contempo la programmazione curriculare prevista. Il percorso è articolato in tre moduli, A1, A2 e B1, organizzati ciascuno tematicamente in unità didattiche e complessivamente in 18 Lessons, che il docente potrà utilizzare in maniera flessibile, sulla base della competenza dimostrata in ingresso dagli studenti. A coloro già in possesso di competenze rapportabili al livello A2, il secondo e terzo modulo del testo offrono materiale sufficiente per il consolidamento e per avviare un percorso individualizzato di potenziamento. Ogni Lesson si apre con un dialogo che propone il contenuto linguistico in maniera chiara e in un contesto appropriato e rilevante. Esercizi di comprensione orale, attività di pair work e di role playing permettono di sviluppare tutte e quattro le abilità, non trascurando quella di reading comprehension abbinata sia a domande Vero/Falso che a domande aperte. La sezione grammaticale al termine di ogni Lesson riassume con un linguaggio accessibile e sintetico i contenuti linguistici affrontati. L’appendice del testo offre ulteriore materiale finalizzato all’ampliamento lessicale in relazione agli argomenti e alle aree lessicali incontrati nel Modulo A1. Sul web il docente troverà il Teacher’s book con le indicazioni metodologiche, le soluzioni degli esercizi, i testi degli ascolti. Sono presenti inoltre ulteriori esercizi di consolidamento grammaticale per ciascuna Lesson e test di ingresso per i livelli A1 e A2. L’Autrice

grammar

grammar Plurale dei sostantivi

• Il plurale dei nomi si forma aggiungendo una -s

alla fine del nome singolare. Non si può usare a davanti a un nome plurale: in questo caso si può usare some. some sweaters Es. a sweater some tickets a ticket

• Per motivi di suono, i nomi che finiscono con -s,

-sh, -ch, -z e -x formano il plurale aggiungendo -es. some brushes Es. a brush some boxes a box two dresses a dress

• Nel caso di nomi che finiscono in -y:

- se -y è preceduta da vocale, il plurale si forma regolarmente aggiungendo -s; Es. a key some keys - se -y è preceduta da consonante, si trasforma in -i e si aggiunge -es. Es. a beautiful baby some beautiful babies

• Le principali eccezioni alla regola del plurale sono: a man (un uomo) a woman (una donna) a person (una persona) a child (un bambino) a foot (un piede) a tooth (un dente)

men (uomini) women (donne) people (gente, persone) children (bambini, figli) feet (i piedi) teeth (i denti)

grammar Gli aggettivi possessivi

essere messo davanti al nome a cui si riferisce. un’auto veloce Es. a fast car

• Gli aggettivi non hanno plurale e non hanno femminile o maschile. Es. an expensive dress dresses

some expensive

• Per tradurre “molto” davanti a un aggettivo si usa a very small house

These / Those

• These, plurale di this, significa “questi/e” e si usa per indicare cose o persone vicine a chi parla.

• Those, plurale di that, significa “quelli/e” e si

usa per indicare cose o persone che si trovano più lontano da chi parla. Es. These are my documents. Here you are. Those are my friends, over there. This = questo/a That = quello/a

p. 11

Domande che iniziano con Wh- e H-

• What…?

Che cosa? Quale? Es. What is it? Che cos’è? Che cosa sono? What are they? What…? traduce anche Quale? nelle domande: What's your name? What's your job? What's your phone number? Where... ? p. 53 What's ...?

• Who…?

Chi…? Es. Who’s that person?

• How is/are…

Come sta/stai/stanno…? Es. How are you?

• How old…?

Quanti anni…? Es. How old are you?

A differenza dell’Italiano, per chiedere l’età si usa il verbo essere e non il verbo avere.

mio / mia / miei

your

tuo / tua / tuoi

his

suo (di lui), sua, suoi

her

suo (di lei), sua, suoi

our

nostro / nostri / nostre

your

vostro / vostri / vostre

their

di loro

• Come tutti gli aggettivi, anche i possessivi sono invariabili.

Possessivo: ’s

• ’s traduce “di” nel significato di possesso. • ’s segue il nome del possessore. Rispetto

all’Italiano la posizione dei nomi è invertita: prima quello del possessore e poi quello della cosa posseduta. Es. L’automobile nuova di Maria. Maria’s new car.

• A differenza dell’Italiano, in Inglese l’aggettivo deve

very. Es. a small house

grammar

Gli aggettivi

Ali è il cugino di Shabir. Ali is Shabir’s cousin.

• Se la cosa è posseduta in comune da più

persone, ’s segue solo l’ultimo possessore: Es. I figli di Aziz e Deba. Aziz and Deba’s children.

• Se il nome dei possessori è plurale, occorre solo l’apostrofo ’. Es. My parents’ old car.

What about?

• Per fare un invito, una proposta o suggerire

un’alternativa a una proposta ricevuta si può usare What about…? seguito dalla parola che rappresenta l’offerta. Es. Are you hungry? What about a sandwich?

The Bold and the Beautiful is a popular American soap opera: it’s the story of two families in the fashion world of Los Angeles: the rich Forresters and the poor Logans. The important members of the Forrester family are Eric Forrester, the president of Forrester Creations, his wife Stephanie and their eldest son Ridge. Brooke Logan is Ridge’s wife. A second fashion company named Spectra Fashions is Forrester’s main competitor. The conflict between the Forrester and the Spectra families is one of the major themes of the story. The story of the Forrester family is very complicated: Stephanie is Ridge, Thorne, Kristen, Felicia and Angela’s mother but Eric isn’t Ridge’s father: that’s Massimo Marone.

Donna Logan is one of Brooke’s sisters: Donna was married to Eric too, and Eric adopted Donna’s son, Marcus.

Leggi il testo e rispondi alle domande. Read the text and answer the questions. Michelle Obama’s campaign against obesity Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the USA and in the UK. In America one in three children is overweight or obese. Modern lifestyle is responsible for this situation: fast food and snacks, large sugary drinks, not enough physical exercise, after school hours in front of TV, or with video games and the Internet. What’s a possible solution? Here are some basic ideas from Michelle Obama’s campaign. Everybody: - move! Physical activity is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle; - eat healthy and fresh food, don’t eat junk food; - eat small portions of food. Parents:

- turn off the TV during your meals; - take a walk with your family everyday.

childhood obesity = obesità infantile lifestyle = stile di vita sugary drinks = bevande zuccherate enough = abbastanza everybody = tutti healthy = sano junk food = cibo spazzatura portions = porzioni turn off = spegnete meals = pasti take a walk = fate una passeggiata
