English Language Skills Module 1 General information This module has an estimated timespan of 8 to 12 weeks. During these weeks you’ll spend 12 to 15 hours on English. In this module you’ll find assignments and exercises, which you are meant to hand in. With exercises you will find out if you master the content of your assignment. You’ll hand in all the exercises in one file, and the assignments separately. Both will be assessed separately.
Introduction In this module you will start with refreshing what you already know, working on the basics of the present simple grammar, word order and expanding some vocabulary and expressions. You will also practice introducing yourself and others in a professional and personal manner.
Goals In this module you will work to achieve the following goals; after completing it you will be able to… • • • •
… … … …
recognize and produce correct word order (sentence structure). recognize and use the present simple correctly. recognize and give an introduction on different levels. introduce yourself verbally and in written text.

A sufficient score on your grammar evaluation. You have completed the exercises and evaluated these in your reflection. A short introduction of yourself using word order and present tense correctly.
your level Every student works on their own level in this reader. That means that there are exercises and assignments on different levels. These levels are Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. In short B, I and A. You are given an advice for which exercises and assignments you should work on. After discussing with your teacher and your coach it may be possible to go up a level.
1. LET’S GET STARTED
Welcome! … at your first English Language skills module. This reader is meant to be used individually and you will work with and on this during classes but also outside of classes. Sometimes you will work alone, and sometimes together with other people. First I will introduce myself… I am your English teacher for now, and I have created this reader because I hope it will help you grow and become even better at reading, speaking, listening to and writing the English language. Besides learning the English language you will also learn about speaking and writing conventions, which means the rules for how to write or talk to people, and about the world in general. You will also do assignments of which some are related to your chosen education. This module is about introducing yourself and others in a professional and personal manner, as you have already read in the goals and assignments on the previous page. But before we get into that I am going to ask you to do your first exercise.
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
Before we start, please open a Word file to type all your exercises in. You will hand this file in online at ‘Its Learning’ so save it every time you’ve done some work. We’ll show you where to upload the file later on.

Exercise 1
If you are lucky you have learned English in school at primary school (basisschool) and after that at secondary school (middelbare school). This means you’ve had a lot of practice. If you are not so lucky you only had English at secondary school. But how good is your English really? Everyone starts somewhere, but hopefully when you are finished with school you have reached a higher level.
All the levels for English, Dutch and other languages are paired with skills and how well you do in them. That way everyone in the world needs the same skills and proficiency (vaardigheid en hoe goed je hier in bent) to reach a specific level. This is guarded (bewaakt) by the EFR, the European Framework of Reference. In Dutch we call this the “Europees Referentiekader” in short: ERK.
Go to http://www.erk.nl/docent/niveaubeschrijvingen/niveaucriteriaAlle.pdf/ and look for the file ‘niveau alle criteria’ for a general overview (overzicht) of the levels of English, A1 to C2). On the left you can also look for specific criteria for listening, reading, speaking and writing.
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
Explain what you think your level is and why, in about 50-100 words.

Introductions Welcome to this new school with these new teachers, new students and new courses (vakken). To make a good start you need to be able to greet and introduce yourself and others. To do this you need to know what to say. We have a list of vocabulary (woorden) and expressions (uitdrukkingen) for that at the end of this module, in the appendix. Look it up… So, what do you say when you introduce yourself? Of course your name, then some information about yourself that is relevant for the situation. If you are at your friend’s house, you will introduce yourself as ‘a friend’. On the other hand, if you are at work, you introduce yourself as an employee. It all depends on the situation. If you want to make a good impression, you can tell something nice about yourself; something you can do or have done. For example: “Hi, my name is Ferani Djoniman and I have written your English modules”. That way you know who I am and what I have done for you. It is a lot more helpful than if I had said: “Hi, my name is Ferani Djoniman and I have four cats, some fish, I drive a Hyundai and I like reading on my days off.” That is a lot of information for on your online profile, but not helpful when you want to introduce yourself. So, in short; keep it relevant.
Exercise 2 Use the vocabulary and expressions in the appendix to write an introduction of yourself. You are introducing yourself as a new student in this English class, so let’s say we have to work together for the coming three years and I know nothing about you. I would like to know a number of things about you; your name, your family situation, where you live, how old you are, what school you went to before you came here, if you have pets or a job on the weekends and what you like to do with friends.
Level (B)
Write an informal introduction. It should be about 50 words.
Levels (I) (A) Write an informal introduction. It should be about 100 - 200 words.
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
The introduction needs to be complete and informal (informeel), as if you are talking to a new friend.
6
Exercise 3 Now use the same vocabulary and expressions in the appendix to write an introduction of yourself as if you are introducing yourself to someone you are going to work for or with; we call this formal (formeel). You need to use different language to sound more professional. You can look up the difference in the vocabulary list. Try to describe many of the same things you wrote in exercise 2. This introduction, again, needs to be complete. Level (B)
Write a formal introduction. It should be about 50 words.
Levels (I) (A) Write a formal introduction. It should be about 100 - 200 words.
Exercise 4 Speaking in class Levels (B) (I) (A) And now for the real work! Practice! You will introduce yourself in class next time. Prepare and practice your introduction, written in exercises 2 and 3. Practice speaking out loud at home with a friend, a family member or in front of the mirror so that you can talk about yourself without reading from the paper. You can use your exercises as a note (briefje). You can use the following sentences as help:
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
1. I live with … 2. We have … 3. I speak … 4. I’m a … 5. I work … 6. I’m studying … 7. I’m interested in … 8. I like … 9. I play … 10. I go …
7
If you don’t want to, you don’t have say everything in class. You need to be comfortable when you introduce yourself.
2. GRAMMAR - PRESENT SIMPLE Grammar: Present Simple (tegenwoordige tijd) Of all tenses (tijden) the present simple is used the most. We use it every day to talk about the present (heden), to talk about general (algemene) things and to talk about ourselves. The present tense is the base form of the verb. Examples are; (to) go
(to) work
(to) see
(to) do
Extra –S or –ES? Remember the SHIT rule? Every verb that goes with HE, SHE or IT gets an extra –S at the end, or an –ES in case of a vowel (klinker) at the end. Examples; I go
I work
I see
I do
you go
you work
you see
you do
he goes
he works
he sees
he does
she goes
she works
she sees
she does
it goes
it works
it sees
it does
we go
we work
we see
we do
you go
you work
you see
you do
they go
they work
they see
they do
The present simple is often used with an adverb of frequency (bijwoord van frequentie) Examples: • • • •
Always Mostly Usually Often
-
I always work on Sundays. We never go out on Mondays.
• • •
Sometimes Hardly Never

Word order Every sentence (zin) needs order (volgorde). It’s good that the order is always the same! Let’s refresh your memory… The formula for a normal sentence is as follows: Onder werp
Auxiliary verb
adverb
Werk woord
Lijdend voorwerp
Meewerkend vwp
Plaats
Tijd
Subject
hulpwer kwoord
bijwoord
Verb
Direct Object
Indirect Object
Place
Time
My mom

a bedtime story
to my brother

last night
My boss

some extra money
to me
I
have
Really
misse d
my friend.
You
have
Never
called
me.
We
can
always
go
yesterda y at the end of the day.
to the park.
You can always start with your subject and end with the place and time. ALWAYS! Not every sentence has an indirect object, time or place. But IF it’s there, this is where it is.
Levels (B) (I) (A) Go to www.studiemeter.nl First Aid Course Woordvolgorde in gewone zinnen - A2 & B1 to practice your word order skills. Complete all the exercises until they turn green. Level (B)

Exercise 6
10
Auxiliary verbs These are what we call ‘hulpwerkwoorden’ in Dutch. They always help another verb and are usually right before it; have/has seen
can do
shall go
have to do
am going (to be)
could like
should get
might have
must drink
need to see
would love
may come
ought to know
be allowed to do
will go
Do like
Auxiliary verbs can help another verb, they are often together with another verb, but not always. It’s important to know the difference between the verbs and that’s why we’ve made you a short list: do have/has to be can could shall should will would may might must ought to need to be allowed to have to
doen hebben zijn kunnen zou kunnen zal/zullen zou moeten zal zou zou kunnen/mogen misschien moet (urgent, dringend) zou eigenlijk moeten moet/is nodig toestemming hebben/mogelijkheid hebben moeten (van iemand)

Hobbies When we want to talk about our hobbies, we use the ‘Gerund’. The gerund is –ing after a verb. We use that when we talk about things that we have strong feelings about, such as ‘like’, ‘love’ or ‘hate’. Examples; I love swimming!
I hate working in the weekend.
I really like eating pizza.
My mom doesn’t like cooking.
I dislike doing my homework.
After school I like watching TV.

4. GRAMMAR - NUMBERS Dates in writing In Dutch letters we often write the date in numbers. For example: 11-12-2013. In the English language we don’t use this format. In English you write the day as numbers (11th, 23rd, 6th) and the month in full (September, April, May). You always end with the year in numbers (2015, 2016). It’s very important to write the month in full, because in England and in America the order of the date is written differently. If we take the date from above in numbers, we can see the difference. For example: 11-12-2013. In the England this would be the 11th of December 2013, but in America they write the month first. So then this is the 12th of November 2013. That’s why it’s better to write the month out in full. There are many correct ways to write a date; 11th December, 2013 December 11th, 2013 December 11, 2013
Remember: the month always starts with a capital letter (hoofdletter)! The same goes for days of the week! Examples are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Cardinals vs. Ordinals Normal English written numbers are called cardinal numbers.
Ordinal numbers are used to put something in order. Examples are first, second, third, twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, forty-eigth, one hundred and fifth, twelve hundred and ninety-seventh.
Ordinals can also be made shorter by adding the last two letters of the written ordinal to the number. Examples are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 25th, 26th, 48th, 105th, 1297th.
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
Examples are 1, 2, 3, 25, 26, 48, 105, 1297.
16
Exercise 9 It’s very important to know how to write the dates correct. Otherwise you could get misunderstandings. it also looks really bad if you make spelling errors is the names of the days of the week or the months of the year. Did you know that you start every day of the week and every month of the year with a capital? (hoofdletter)

Telling Time
Telling time (klokkijken) works a little bit different in English, than it does in Dutch. For starters every straight hour is called “o‘ clock”. Examples are two o’ clock and three o’ clock. Every quarter is written as ‘a quarter’ (een kwartier). examples are a quarter past 1 and a quarter to four. When half an hour has passed we say half (an hour) past five (o’ clock). Pay attention! In Dutch we would call this ‘half 6’. Because half past five literally means half an hour after five o’clock! Examples are half past 6 (half 7) and half past two (half drie). Minutes are always shown as past or to. Every minute that is between the 12 and the 6 (1 to 30) is given as past … ‘o clock (na het uur). Every minute that is between the 6 and 12 (31 to 59) is given as to … o’ clock (naar het uur)
twenty to five

5. GRAMMAR - QUESTIONS Earlier in this reader you’ve already learned about the word order in a normal sentence. But what happens when you have to ask a question? We will start easy.
Type 1 Questions – who, what, why, etc. There are two types of questions. The first starts with question words Examples are who, what, why, when, where, how and what for. 1. Who are you? 2. What do you like to do? 3. When are you home? You can see that every sentence starts with a question-word, and is then followed by an auxiliary verb (hulpwerkwoord) and the person you are talking about or to. After that comes the main verb and the rest. Who
are
you?
Where
do
You
live?
What
do
You
eat?
When
can
I
See
you?
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
Type 2 Questions – auxiliary verbs
19
The other type of questions are questions that start with an auxiliary verb (hulpwerkwoord). These questions are made in the same way as the questions with question words, but without the question word. (where)
are
you
from
Holland?
(what)
do
you
like
pizza?
(when)
do
you
have
time?
(what)
can
you
see
my phone?
Exercise 11 You’ll practice using question words and how to ask questions in English. You’ll also practice making negative sentences and negative questions. Negative sentences are sentences that have the word ‘not’ or ‘don’t’ in them. Beginners get a little extra practice.

6. READING Reading can be a very difficult thing, especially in a new or different language. We’ll begin easy and slowly go towards more difficult texts and more difficult exercises. We’ll start off with the intention of texts and some general reading exercises. A text can be written for different purposes. A text can be entertaining, like a story or something you read for fun. It can also be informative, like a folder or a brochure. But a brochure can also be made to persuade you to do something, like book a holiday. …

7. WRITING A MEMO A skill everybody needs at work is the power of writing and reading memos! They seem like short unimportant pieces of paper, but they might have very valuable information on them! It could be that phone call you were waiting for, or you may need to ask someone something important when he comes back from lunch. What exactly is a memo and who needs them? A memo is a short note with only relevant (important) information on it. It is used by everyone in the office and in many other jobs. You need to use them a lot when you answer the phone or come in contact with a lot of people at work. You also use them when you process orders or have a lot of meetings.
Exercise 23
Level (B) (I) (A)
Look at the following picture; this is an example of a short memo note for telephone messages. Fill in the telephone message memo with the information from the following text:

Mr Smith would like to reschedule an appointment with her, because he has to go abroad for the week. He would like her to call him back as soon as she can on his mobile, because he is traveling. His mobile number is 0044-73649755.

11. LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT
Welcome to your first literature assignment. Why literature, are you probably wondering about now. Studies have proved that reading is very good for your long-term language development. In short; reading is good for learning a language well. You come into contact with many words, you see them written down, you see how sentences are structured and you can create images in your mind to go with the words. With literature assignments you read a piece of text and you do the exercises that go with that text. The exercises almost always go about the way the text is written or the content of the text. Every module you get a different kind of text, differing in difficulty, style and type.
Literature exercise 1 Do you have any idea what literature is? And don’t just answer the first thing that comes to mind. Think about it. Take a minute or two and then write down what you think literature is. Then go online and Google the terms ‘what is literature’. Answer yourself the following question: were you right? Now retype your definition (if necessary) and explain what literature is.
Literature exercise 2 Do you like reading? Why do you do or don’t you? What was the last book or other literary work you’ve read, ever. Even if that was 10 years ago. Explain yourself.
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
Literature exercise 3
43
Look casually (niet te intensief) at the texts below (or on the next page). Scan them. They are a form of literature. Describe what you think these are. Do it for them separately, so begin like this: ‘Text 1 …… and/but text 2 ……’ Then explain what you think of them. Do you like them? Or not at all?
One fine day in the middle of the night, One fine day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight, Back to back they faced each other, Drew their swords and shot each other, One was blind and the other couldn't, see So they chose a dummy for a referee. A blind man went to see fair play, A dumb man went to shout "hooray!" A paralysed donkey passing by, Kicked the blind man in the eye, Knocked him through a nine inch wall, Into a dry ditch and drowned them all, A deaf policeman heard the noise, And came to arrest the two dead boys, If you don't believe this story’s true, Ask the blind man he saw it too!
Antigonish Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish he'd go away... When I came home last night at three, But when I looked around the hall, I couldn't see him there at all! Go away, go away, don't you come back any more! Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... Last night I saw upon the stair, A little man who wasn't there, He wasn't there again today Oh, how I wish he'd go away...
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
The man was waiting there for me

Literature exercise 4 These two texts are very popular in their own genre. The genre of the first text is called ‘nonsense’. This was a very popular style in different periods of time, between the middle ages and up until now. This particular text is so old that it is unsure when or by whom it is written. Can you explain what is so special about the first text? What is strange or unusual about it? Can you give examples with that?
Literature exercise 5 The second text ‘Antigonish’ was written in 1899 by Hughes Mearns and falls into the romantic genre. Read the text well. What is this text about, do you think? Can you explain why you think that?
Literature exercise 6 The first text is so old, that we don’t know where it came from exactly. In what kind of setting/scene/situation would it fit nowadays? Where could you read it, or find it nowadays if it wasn’t old but new?
Literature exercise 7
English Language Skills | 4/1/2016
The second text used to fit into the category ‘romantic’, in a time when that meant something very different than it does now. What genre would you place the text in? and why?
45
12. GRAMMAR EVALUATION
The grammar evaluation is a test on Its Learning. You need to make an appointment with your teacher to take it. The test will consist of two separate parts; the grammar you’ve learned during this module, but also the vocabulary and expressions! Study them well before you take the test! Do this test (on your own level) and see if you’ve understood what you have read, learnt and practiced in this module. If you pass it you can continue on, if you don’t; practice some more and re-take the test. Make an new appointment with your teacher for this.
