E NGLISH L ANGUAGE S KILLS 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

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.

Assignments

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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.

In this module you will work on the following assignments, which you will submit separately for evaluation:   

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. L ET ’ 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.

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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. 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/

Explain what you think your level is and why, in about 50-100 words.

5

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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.


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…

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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. The introduction needs to be complete and informal (informeel), as if you are talking to a new friend.

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.

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)

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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: 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. G RAMMAR - P RESENT S IMPLE 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?

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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

Signal words The present simple is often used with an adverb of frequency (bijwoord van frequentie) Examples:    

Always Mostly Usually Often

 -

8

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:

O n d e r

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.

Auxiliary verbs

These are what we call ‘hulpwerkwoorden’ in Dutch. They always help another verb and are usually right before it;

have/ha s seen am going (to be) must drink ought to know

  

can do

shall go

could like

should get would love will go

have to do might have may come Do like

 

need to    see  be    allowed to do 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

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.

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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.

Examples are 1, 2, 3, 25, 26, 48, 105, 1297.

 

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.

18


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.

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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)

Examples are ten past two

twenty to five

(tien over twee) (tien over half 5)

 5. G RAMMAR - Q UESTIONS  

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.

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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 Where What When

Type 2 Questions – auxiliary verbs

   

are do do can

   

you? You You I

   

live? eat? See

   

you?

21

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) (what) (when) (what)

   

are do do can

   

you you you you

   

from like have see

   

Holland? pizza? time? 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.

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. W RITING 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.

 

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.

Mr Dickens called to your office this morning, at 10 o’clock, to speak to Miss Havisham. Unfortunately Miss Havisham is away on a business trip and you answered the telephone. Mr Dickens has an appointment with Miss Havisham on coming Wednesday, but he has to reschedule the appointment to the Friday after that. The time, which was 12 o’clock, remains the same. He would like her to confirm the new appointment, if possible today, tomorrow at the latest. Because she is away on a business trip she can send an email to Dickens@company.com

185. 11. L ITERATURE A SSIGNMENT 186. 187. 188.

Welcome to your first literature assignment.

189. 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. 190. 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. 191.

Literature exercise 1

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

192.

193. 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. 194.

195.

Literature exercise 2

196. 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.

49

197.

198.

Literature exercise 3

199. 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: 200.

‘Text 1 …… and/but text 2 ……’

201.

Then explain what you think of them. Do you like them? Or not at all?

202. 203.

One fine

205.

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, English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

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! 206.

Antigonish 207.

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, The man was waiting there for me 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,

50


He wasn't there again today Oh, how I wish he'd go away...

208.

Literature exercise 4

209. 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. 210. 211. Can you explain what is so special about the first text? What is strange or unusual about it? Can you give examples with that?

212.

213.

Literature exercise 5

220.

English Language Skills | 4/1/2016

214. The second text ‘Antigonish’ was written in 1899 by Hughes Mearns and falls into the romantic genre. Read the text well. 215. 216. What is this text about, do you think? Can you explain why you think that? 217. 218. 219.
