and suggests how to implement it in the unit.
Active listening is the ability to fully focus on a speaker, understand their message, comprehend the information and respond thoughtfully.
Reflecting the Learner’s Book, each unit consists of multiple lessons. At the start of each lesson, the Learning plan table includes the learning objectives, learning intentions and success criteria that are covered in the lesson. It can be helpful to share learning intentions and success criteria with your learners at the start of a lesson so that they can begin to take responsibility for their own learning
LEARNING PLAN
Learning objective Learning intentions 7Lm.01 Listening: Compare ways of greeting and meeting people in different countries; check information. Success criteria
Learners can learn vocabulary for meeting and greeting.
There are often common misconceptions associated with particular grammar points. These are listed, along with suggestions for identifying evidence of the misconceptions in your class and suggestions for how to overcome them. At Cambridge University Press, we have unique access to the Cambridge Learner Corpus to help us identify common errors for key language groups.
Misconception
Learners may wrongly think that all verbs in English are regular and so they add -ed to both regular and irregular verbs. How to identify
Ask questions, e.g.: How do you form the past tense of e.g. walk, paint, talk? Do we do the same with e.g. speak, choose, say?
How do you make the past tense of these three verbs? How to overcome
Practise using the irregular forms of verbs. Write the base form of regular and irregular verbs on the board. Ask learners to write the correct past forms.
Make a poster.
Learners classify the verbs into two columns: regular and irregular, and fill in the verbs as they appear in the unit.
For each lesson, there is a selection of starter ideas, main teaching ideas and plenary ideas. You can pick out individual ideas and mix and match them depending on the needs of your class. The activities include suggestions for how they can be differentiated or used for assessment. Homework ideas are also provided.
Starter ideas
Discussion (10–15 minutes) • Ask the class: How many words for family members can you remember in thirty seconds?
Elicit as many as possible. • Show a photo of your family and speak briefly about it. • Ask learners to show their photos and talk about their families. Have they always lived in the same town or city?
Main teaching ideas
1 Work with a partner. Match the definitions to the words. (15 minutes) • Focus on the words in the topic vocabulary box and ask the class to explain the meanings in their own words or with examples. • Ask them to read the definitions and match them to the correct words. • Ask learners to compare their answers with a partner.
The Language background feature contains information to help you present the grammar in the unit. LANGUAGE BACKGROUND
The use of ‘s /s’ to indicate possession This form of the possessive can be confusing to speakers of languages other than English. • In English, you usually show that something belongs to someone by adding ‘s to a noun or the name of the person:
My father’s car is over there.
Jennifer’s brother is now living in Australia.
suggestions for linking to other subject areas. CROSS-CURRICULAR LINKS
The Cross-curricular links feature provides
Geography: Show a map of the world and help learners locate Paris, New York City, Greece and Troy. • When did the Ancient Greeks and the Trojans live?
Ask the class to search the Internet or look for information in the school library and draw a timeline.
Differentiation idea: This feature provides suggestions for how activities can be differentiated to suit the needs of your class.
Critical thinking opportunity: This feature provides suggestions for embedding critical thinking and other 21st-century skills into your teaching and learning.
Assessment idea: This feature highlights opportunities for formative assessment during your teaching.
Digital Classroom: If you have access to Digital Classroom, these links will suggest when to use the various multimedia enhancements and interactive activities.
Answers: Answers to Learner's Book exercises can be found integrated within the lesson plans and Learner's Book and Workbook answer keys are also available to download.

The main difference between the worksheets is the level of support/scaffolding for your learners. Differentiated worksheet A is the least challenging worksheet, with the most support. This is recommended for the least confident learners. Differentiated worksheet C is the most challenging worksheet, with the least support. This is recommended for the most confident learners. Differentiated worksheetB is between Worksheets A and C. Procedure: • The worksheets have been designed to be as self-explanatory as possible, for learners to use for independent study. They can also be used in the classroom. • Tip: If using the worksheets for independent study, to get the maximum benefit be sure to choose the most appropriate worksheet for the level of your learners.
