Welcome to Confidence and Connections! The unique emphasis of this series is on using conversation to facilitate meaningful connections. It is as important for you, the teacher, to share your own stories as it is to elicit stories from your students. When you ask students questions, be sure to have them ask you questions, too. In a group setting, use pair work to encourage students to learn about one another. In one-on-one, learn about your student’s family and share about your own. About your teacher book: Your teacher book is designed to be simple to use and make your classes as engaging and effective as possible. You’ll find a lead page at the beginning of each lesson. This page contains:

NOT FOR DUPLCATION

• The learning objectives for the students (Students will be able to…) • Suggested materials to bring to class • Useful notes • Listening transcript

In each lesson, you’ll see helpful callouts with activity notes as well as the answers for each activity. (NOTE: The answer key does not provide capitalization.) In the first two lessons, we included notes for most activities. After that, you’ll only find notes for activities that benefit from specific instructions. In the back of the book, you’ll find an in depth overview of teaching strategies for each section of the lessons, including additional engagement and expansion ideas that we encourage you to use. We've referenced sections from the back of the book within the callouts with bold text.

The back inside cover of your Teacher Book has the Color Vowel™ Chart. If you do not already know how to use this tool, please go to intercambio.org/webinars and sign up to attend a pronunciation workshop. This fun, interactive training will help you use this tool, as well as Pronunciation Fun with Pictures (Pro Fun) and learn easy techniques for teaching the many sounds and stress in English. In addition, we encourage all teachers and students to use Pronunciation Fun with Pictures and The Immigrant Guide as supplements to their teaching. Happy teaching!

L1 YOU CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: • Talk about common topics in the news using a variety of tenses • Talk about the difference between facts and opinions and how to identify fake news What to bring to class: • Table tents or name tags for student names • A variety for newspapers and magazines to review and discuss • Pronunciation Fun to supplement the vocabulary and pronunciation activities • Copies of The Immigrant Guide to supplement the culture tip What to expect: This is the first day so be sure to use the time to get a sense of what your students know. Also spend time building community by making sure students meet one another. At this level, encourage students to introduce themselves by sharing something about themselves. Be sure to share about yourself too. You can do the Two Truths and a Lie activity

NOT FOR DUPLCATION

Warm-up: Greet students as they enter. Be sure to start class on time (or at least some informal conversation) even if only one or two students are there. You can do a brief icebreaker or use warm-up activity ideas in the back section of this book. Have them write their first name on a name tag or table tent. Do your best to pronounce students’ names the way they say them. It’s okay to ask them to clarify a few times. It is as important for you to know your students’ names as it is for students to know their classmates’ and your names. Try Conversation Rotation to learn names. Table tents are useful even in 1-1 environments as it can be hard to remember new names. In 1-1, learn the student names, children, even pets.

Teacher notes: We’ve provided simple definitions for some of the vocabulary words and phrases that we anticipate may be challenging to define. In lesson 1, those words are: • prove: to show the existence, truth, or correctness of (something) (Now that you see all my research, it's easy to prove that I'm right!) • bias: an unfair belief that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others (I have a bias against little dogs. I just don't like them!) • opinion: a belief or way of thinking about something (or someone) (What you told me is what you think—it's your opinion—it's not necessarily the truth.) • hoax: something meant to trick or deceive people

Listening Track 1 Dan: Hey Sandra. Did you see the news article online yesterday about the giant fan the National Space Association is working on to stop global warming? It’s so exciting! Sandra: Yeah, I saw that story, but it’s just a hoax. That isn’t really happening. Dan: But the article said it’s the most important project in modern history! Sandra: Well, that’s an opinion, and if you check the facts you’ll find out that the story isn’t accurate. It’s from a news source that publishes funny stories that aren’t true. Dan: Oh, wow. I guess I have to be more careful when I read the news.… Sandra: Yeah, you can’t believe everything you read. It’s always good to do your own research.

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? 4

H. Give students time to read on their own. Then ask general comprehension questions (What is this about?) before giving students time to answer the questions. Ask students what clues they see in each of the sentences that will help them determine fact from opinion. (For example, opinion hints may include words such as should, most difficult, too expensive, best; facts can be proven.)

Read the article about life experience and formal education. Circle FACT or OPINION for each of the numbered sentences.

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.

Students will be more likely do homework if they understand how. The goal of homework is to practice outside of class, so we Preto have success want them with this. Discuss how to do each activity before the end of class by reading the instructions together and doing an example for each activity.Make sure to review completed homework at the beginning of next class. See HOMEWORK. K. Go back to the language tools chart on the second page of this lesson to review present, past and future tenses. Remind students to look for clues in the sentences to determine the correct tense. For example, in the example sentence, yesterday provides the clue that the verb will be in the past tense.A

JOURNAL Consider giving students parameters around the journal. Either ask them to write for a certain amount of time (5 or 10 minutes), or a specific number of sentences (8-10). Don’t forget to respond to what students write by asking questions or adding comments. See HOMEWORK.

Be sure to allow enough time for your students to work uninterrupted on the Progress Check. • Adapt lesson 8 to fit the needs of your particular teaching situation. For example, if the schedule allows, consider doing the Review in one class and the Progress Check in another. Giving the Progress Check: • First, let the students know the schedule for the class. Tell them they can do it! Go over the whole Progress Check with students, letting them know that you’ll be pulling them out individually for the oral section. • Let students know they can ask you questions during the Progress Check and that this is a time to see what they have learned.

L9 FIELD TRIP Lesson 9 in every Confidence and Connections book is a field trip. The goal for the field trip is to provide your students with the opportunity to engage in the community in English and in some instances, connect to resources of which they may not be aware. Take your students to a location that will be helpful for them in the long run.

NOT FOR DUPLCATION

Tips for a successful field trip: • Visit the location ahead of time. Anticipate any challenges that may come up. Speak with the appropriate person at the site to let them know what is going on (if appropriate). If someone will be talking with your students, give them information about the students’ levels and tips for effectively communicating with English language learners. • Make sure students are aware of where and when class will meet on field trip day. Bring a map to class on day 7 or 8. Emphasize that the field trip is a part of the class, not an extra activity. • We suggest you meet your students at the field trip location or take public transportation together. • Once everyone has arrived, give an overview of the visit. It is up to you how you want to structure it and what other activities--games, conversation, etc.--you want to include. • Check to see that your students have their books and pens. • Spend time before the field trip (in class or as homework, or at the beginning of the day) filling out the first portion of the field trip lesson in the student book (Important Words and Phrases I Want to Use, Questions I Plan to Ask). • Make sure your students are prepared to interact in English. You may want to create a list of questions or practice through role play beforehand. • Before you have students work with the book, briefly review the activities. As students work, make yourself available for questions. You may want to pair / group students. • Although the purpose of the field trip is largely to allow students to experience English in a real-world setting and recording “correct” answers is not the focus, you may want to complete the activities yourself so that you can check their answers later. At the end of the visit, discuss the experience. Use the second half of the field trip lesson in the student book (Things I Saw or Found, People I Talked To, Notes) for this reflection. Have students discuss their findings in pairs or small groups before having a class discussion.

After the discussion, assign homework. Remind students of the day and time of the next class. It is also a good idea to review the field trip at the start of the next lesson. If leaving the classroom is not possible, create a virtual field trip in the room or bring in a guest speaker to share information about a local resource. Prep the speaker with information about your class and any tips they need to communicate effectively with English language learners.

There are a few suggested places to visit listed at the top of Student Book page 49. Option 1 - An Assisted Living Center: Students can visit an assisted living center and learn more about the services they offer. They can also ask about costs and how the services are financed. Option 2 - An Immigrant Advocacy Center: Students can visit a local immigrant advocacy center. These can be located at: https://www.immigrationadvocates.org Students can learn more about their rights as immigrants, local legal resources and ask any questions they may have. Option 3 - Community College: Have students think of questions ahead of time, such as what kinds of programs they offer, what kinds of financial aid they have, what makes the school special, etc. Or, consider somewhere else: A grocery store (practice vocabulary, apply for a store card, scavenger hunt), library (get a tour, apply for a library card), department or hardware store, rec center, urgent care center, bus station, restaurant, neighborhood or city walk (follow a map, scavenger hunt), museum, post office, drugstore, apartment for rent, city council meeting, public event (such as a farmer’s market, or outdoor festival). 58
