CONFIDENCE and CONNECTIONS Student Book

C O NF IDE N C E A ND C O NNE C T I O N S

Confidence and Connections was developed by Intercambio Uniting Communities to offer practical English language acquisition for adults. The series was designed for both 1-on-1 and group learning environments. The hallmark of this curriculum is its unique focus on building confidence and personal connections between students and teacher.

B O O K 4L

Each lesson culminates with a Connect with Conversation activity, providing students a safe place to practice speaking English while getting to know their fellow students and teacher. In addition, every lesson includes a pronunciation exercise to help students learn and practice the many sounds and rhythm of the language.

There are 2 books per level, L (left) and R (right), enabling shorter completion cycles per level. Completing a book builds student confidence and allows a shorter waiting period for a returning student. Together these two books, L and R, complete a level and you can begin with either one. Build your community by teaching and learning English The Intercambio Way™.

Adult ESL The Intercambio Way Intercambio is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization founded in 2001. In addition to our successful and continually advancing program in Boulder Colorado, we support and share best practices with organizations across the country that use our curriculum, training and resources. We are committed to learning from everyone. Please share ideas or feedback with us at www.intercambio.org/comments $12.00 ISBN 978-1-947639-22-5

CULTURE TIP Greetings in the US often depend on how well you know the person. When people here meet someone for the first time, they will often shake hands or wave. If they know a person well, they will often hug or give a closer handshake. If you’re not sure how to greet someone, you can wait to see how they will greet you. Is this the same in your native country?

1 Read about Rita’s first social event in the United States. My first social event in the US was at my friend Jenny’s home. She invited me to a dinner with some other people that she knows. When I arrived at her home, she introduced me to the people that were there. In my native country, we give a kiss on the cheek when we meet someone new. So when I met her friends, I began to kiss them on the cheeks, but they gave me strange looks and a couple of them tried to shake my hand instead. Jenny explained to me that in the US it’s not so common to kiss someone on the cheek, especially when you first meet them. I apologized, but everyone said that there was no need to apologize, and we all laughed. When I was getting ready to leave, I went to shake everyone’s hands to say goodbye. However, my friend and all of her guests hugged me instead. They told me we were good friends now and could hug. We all laughed again. In the end, it was a very fun evening and we all learned something new!

Discuss with a partner. 1. How do you think Rita felt at the beginning of the dinner?

What to Do if Pulled Over by the Police If you’re pulled over by the police while driving, it’s important to stay calm and move slowly. You may get a ticket (fine) or just a warning. Unless you committed a crime or have something illegal in your car, you have nothing to worry about. Follow these steps if pulled over: • Safely move to the side of the road. • Roll down your window and turn off your engine. • Keep your hands on the steering wheel, so the officer can see them. • Stay in the car. Only get out of the car if the officer tells you to. • At night, turn on the light inside your car. • Wait until the officer asks for your license and registration and then get them. • Be polite. • If you get a ticket, don’t argue with the police officer, you can fight the ticket later. • Sign the ticket. It doesn’t mean you did it. • If you get a fine, make sure to pay it on time.

CULTURE TIP In the US, leaving children home alone can be considered child neglect. Child neglect is a serious crime. There is no federal law in the US about the minimum age a child must be to stay home alone, but some states have their own laws. For example, in Illinois children must be 14, and in Maryland children must be 8. • When do you think it is appropriate to leave a child home alone? • What are the laws like about that in your hometown?

Read the opinions of Sandra and Tonya. Discuss the questions with a partner. Tonya

Sandra I think the government needs to make the minimum wage higher, but the politicians won’t discuss it. It’s unrealistic for moms and dads to take care of a family with such a low income. I think the minimum wage should be higher, and the government should provide more funding for childcare. The government needs to support families more, so parents can raise successful kids instead of working all the time. I’ve worked two jobs for three years to pay for daycare, so I don’t have enough time to spend with my kids.

I don’t think the government should raise the minimum wage. Some small companies can’t afford to pay their employees more, so they would decrease their hours, and prices would go up. What I’m saying is that a higher minimum wage does not mean more money or more income. Maybe the government should provide more support for working parents and help out with daycare costs.

1. Who thinks minimum wage should be higher? 2. Who thinks the government should help with childcare? 3. What is one advantage of a higher minimum wage? 4. What’s one disadvantage of a higher minimum wage?

CULTURE TIP In the US, companies usually pay workers a salary or hourly wage. If you receive a salary, you get the same amount every pay period. If you receive an hourly wage, you get paid for the number of hours you work. If an hourly employee works more than 40 hours in a week, they usually need to receive time and a half, or one and a half times the hourly rate for the extra time they worked. Is this the same or different in your native country? Have you ever not been paid for work you did?

Read about entrepreneurs and employees. Complete the chart with ideas from the article and your own ideas.

Entrepreneurs vs. Employees Entrepreneurs love to create new products and services. They see problems and develop ideas to solve them. Entrepreneurs are risk-takers. They are willing to work many hours, day and night. The money they can make if their work is successful is much more than working for a company. Many entrepreneurs are driven by the possibility of making a lot of money and the freedom to control everything. Employees apply their skills and knowledge to work for someone else. They enjoy a steady paycheck, benefits, a comfortable work environment and a regular schedule, although many companies now try to provide more flexibility in terms of hours, days and where the employee can work. Employees want to earn a good salary but may not be driven by money. They may want to work for a company or organization that provides products or services that they find interesting. Many employees have a lot of responsibility at work.

REAL LIFE / YOUR LIFE

Read the suggestions for respectfully disagreeing.

How to Disagree with Someone Respectfully 1. Focus on the facts

Your argument will be stronger if you use logic and not just your emotions.

2. Don’t get personal

Especially at work, don’t attack the other person or their argument. Instead, explain how you feel.

3. Find something good

Before you begin discussing why you are right, try to find something good in the other person’s suggestion. For example, you can say, “I think you are on the right track, but we could also…”

4. Listen to the other person

If you pay attention to the other person’s ideas, you may come up with an even better solution. Don’t just think about what you’ve said. Listen to the other person.

5. Use I, not you

Don’t say things like, “You always…” and ”You never…”. Try to begin your sentences with I, as in “I feel…”

6. Agree to disagree

Sometimes neither person will be able to convince the other. In these cases, the best solution may just be to stop arguing, even if you still disagree.

Read the sentences below and decide if the people disagreed respectfully or not. What suggestions do you have? Discuss with a partner. a. Your idea makes no sense. You didn’t research this matter enough. b. I’m sorry, Lisa, but I feel that we need to focus more on the quality of our food. c. That’s a great idea, but have you also considered the cost? d. I understand your arguments, but I still see it differently. I guess we just need to agree to disagree. e. You always bring up such unimportant details. You never have any good reasons.

CULTURE TIP Many people in the US are very direct when they speak. If they disagree with someone, they might say, “I disagree.” They don’t think this is rude. In some other countries, people do not directly say if they disagree. What do people in your native country do? How do you feel when someone tells you directly that they disagree with you?

REAL LIFE / YOUR LIFE

Read about the Five Phases of Culture Shock. Match the people to the phase they are in. Compare with a partner. Phase 1 Everything is very exciting. The person usually feels happy and enjoys learning about the new culture.

Phase 2 Living in a different culture starts to feel overwhelming. The person starts to notice the negative parts of the culture they are in.

Phase 4 The person starts to feel more connected to the new culture. They understand more about the new culture and feel more accepted.

“I’ve been here for a year. I’m frustrated because I need a car to go places and the weather is too cold.”

“I’ve lived here for three years. I feel comfortable now, and I have many friends from this country. Alicia, 45, from Argentina

Gino, 42, from Portugal

“I’ve been here for a year. I used to like it, but now I don’t. People here don’t understand me, so I prefer to be around people from my home country.”

PHASE: _________

Phase 3 The person does not like interacting with people of the new culture. They hang out mostly with people from their home culture. Phase 5 The person feels so comfortable in the new culture that it would be difficult for them to return to their home culture. They could experience “reverse culture shock.”

“I just arrived last week. I love it here! The food is amazing and the people are all so friendly!” Flavia, 33, from the Dominican Republic

“I’ve lived here for almost 10 years. It is my new home. It would be difficult for me to go back to live in India.”

Amar, 50 from India

Aasir, 39, from Kenya

PHASE: _________

CULTURE TIP Most people experience some kind of “culture shock” when they move to a new country. This means that they can feel overwhelmed or confused by the new culture. Food, weather, language, actions, attitudes and other things can be very different from their home country. Things that are polite to do in their home country can be rude in their new country. After time, most people begin to feel more comfortable. Did you experience culture shock when you came to the US?

Infinitive = to + verb to walk Base form = verb in the most basic form Walk Gerund = verb + ing. The gerund always works as a noun. Walking is quicker than driving. Past Participle = verb + ed (regular verbs). Irregular forms vary. Use with have to form the past perfect tense. He has worked for three years. I have gone there many times.
