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 Wayâ&#x201E;˘.

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?
