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 5R

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 978-1-947639-25-6

Tips to identify Fake News:

• research the author • find out if it is from a reliable and non-biased source • check the facts from other sources

In the US and around the world, the term “fake news” has become a popular way to describe news stories that are published (often on the internet). Fake news presents information that is not entirely accurate, based on opinions instead of facts, or is untrue and meant to get more attention. Sometimes people have trouble finding out which news stories are accurate and which are fake news. Is fake news a problem in your native country? How do you think people can find out if a story is fake news?

With the cost of college education continuing to rise each year, many people are asking themselves if earning a degree is really worth the money. (1) Life experience is much more important and valuable than formal education, and colleges should have more opportunities for students to practice their skills. (2) In a recent Employee Confidence Survey, 70% of participants said that they needed special training at their place of employment to correctly do their job. This training was in addition to the education they had received when they completed their formal college degree. (3) Additionally, a recent survey of 50,000 employers by the Chronicle of Higher Education showed that companies value work experience and internships more than the degree or performance of a candidate in their higher education program. (4) It is our responsibility as a society to make sure that colleges are preparing students for real life in the workplace. Practical opportunities to practice real life skills are a critical part of this.

1. People shouldn’t worry about global warming.

97% of scientists believe that the increase in temperature of the earth in recent years is because of human activity. The climate has changed many times in the past.
