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 student(s). 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 a one-on-one setting, learn about your student’s family and share information 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: • 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 find notes only 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 you will 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 I’M GOING TO DO MY BEST By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: • Talk about things they do or make • Talk about what others did or made • Talk about what they are going to do What to expect? This is the first day, so don’t be discouraged if students can’t answer questions or don’t say much. Praise whatever they are able to provide. Use the board and have them use the board with you. Be careful in a group setting not to gauge your teaching level on one talkative student—especially for the first two lessons. What to bring to class: • Table tents or name tags for student names • Pronunciation Fun to use to supplement the pronunciation section • The Immigrant Guide to supplement the Culture Tip conversation • Prepared colored index cards for Activity D • To-do list of your own • Hand mirror (to show mouth shapes in Pronunciation Activity) Teacher notes: We’ve provided simple definitions for vocabulary words and phrases that may be challenging to define: • Make progress - to get closer to a goal; to move forward Warm-up: Greet students. Have them write their first name on a name tag or table tent (don’t forget to make one for yourself). 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’ 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 names of students, their children, even pets. Listening Track 01 Malia: Hi Bernard, I’m in your class again this term. Bernard: Hi Malia! Are you ready to start the next English book? Malia: Yes, I am. I am going to do my best. Bernard: Good! You know, you are making a lot of progress. Malia: Thanks. I think I am making some progress, but I still make a lot of mistakes. Bernard: It is good to make mistakes—that’s how you learn! Just be sure to do your homework this time. Malia: Good idea. Last class I didn’t do a lot of homework. I am going to make sure to practice and do more. Bernard: That’s a good plan! But can you do me a favor? Malia: Sure—what’s that? Bernard: Make sure you speak only English in class, okay? Malia: Okay, I will! Listening Track 02 (phone ringing) Jean: Hello? Rafael: Hi Jean. It’s Rafael. Are you at home? Jean: Yes, I am. Rafael: Okay, great. I’m at the grocery store. I left my list at home and I need to make cupcakes for the open house tomorrow. Can you read it to me so I can remember what’s on it? Jean: Oh okay, sure! Hold on (rummaging). Okay—it says we need milk, bread, eggs, and soap. Rafael: Okay, thanks! Jean: Your list also says you need to make a doctor’s appointment. Don’t forget! Rafael: Oh, thanks for reminding me! I’ll do that now. 2

Culture Tip Expand the conversation by asking what the #1 barrier to learning English is. Fear of making mistakes is #1! Let them know making mistakes is okay. Ask how they can create a safe place and how they can support each other. Prepare some examples of how making a mistake helped you to learn something. Share with students and then give them time to think of their own examples. Ask them to share examples, either with a partner or with the group.

L2 SHE’S MORE OUTGOING THAN ME By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: • Describe both personality and physical appearance • Compare differences between people What to expect? The grammar structure for comparison can be confusing. When comparing, the word “as” can refer to an equality or an inequality (e.g., Jose is as brave as Bill. Joe isn’t as brave as Bill.) It can also be confusing to know when to use the comparative/superlative (e.g., braver/bravest) versus “more ___ than” or “the most ___.” When words end with a “y,” the “y” is changed to “i” for the comparative/superlative forms (e.g., happy/happier/happiest). Students will need a lot of practice and repetition to learn this structure. What to bring to class: • Table tents or name tags for student names • Pronunciation Fun to use to supplement the pronunciation section • The Immigrant Guide to supplement the Culture Tip conversationPrepared colored index cards for Activity D • Prepared personality chart from Activity K Teacher notes: We’ve provided simple definitions for vocabulary words and phrases that may be challenging to define: • Selfish: to think only about yourself • Confident: to feel sure about your abilities • Brave: not afraid of danger • Outgoing: very friendly; likes to talk to people • Stubborn: will not change an attitude or position on something Warm-up: Greet students. Practice the material from last class by asking a few questions using the grammar and vocabulary. Review homework from last lesson. Give students an opportunity to discuss and share their journal entries in pairs or with the class. Listening Track 03 Greta: Hi Oliver. Is this your family in the photo? Oliver: Hey Greta. Yes, it is! Greta: Neat—what are they like? Oliver: Well, I have two brothers and one sister. My younger brother is really serious and hardworking. My older brother is funny and very smart. He is shorter than I am, but he is more athletic. He is the most confident person in our family. Greta: What is your sister like? Oliver: She is really nice and outgoing. She is definitely the funniest person in our family. Greta: Oh, wow. I’d love to meet her. Is she as nice as you are? Oliver: Well, I don’t know about that….

D. FOCUS: Comparative, superlative, and equative forms of adjectives and is/isn’t; are/aren’t. The grammar structure uses four types of comparison structures with the adjectives: 1. comparative for comparing two things (uses the ending ”er” + than ); 2. superlative for comparing three or more things (uses the ending “est”); 3. more + adjective + than (two things compared) or the most + adjective (three or more things compared); 4. as + adjective + as (equal or the same as). NOTE: It is correct to say either “more outgoing than me” or “more outgoing than I (am)”; however, we have chosen to teach the former structure because that is how it is more commonly used in conversation. EXPANSION: Use colored index cards (see page 132) to practice.

B. Before the activity, have studentsE Elook at the pictures. Talk about what is happening in each picture without reading the text. See if they can put them in the correct order, again without reading the text. Then have them read the text to check their work. C. FF Go over the activity so students know what they are going to listen for (checking boxes). Play track once without stopping. Pause to check answers in pairs. Play track again as many times as necessary. Stop if necessary.
GG D. FOCUS: Sentences with two clauses: one with the past continuous tense and one with the simple past tense. The past continuous tense describes an action or situation that was taking place when something else happened, and the simple past tense describes the action or event that happened. We use when before the simple past part of the sentence. Either part of the sentence (simple past or past continuous) can come first, but if the sentence begins with “When,” a comma is used between the two parts. EXPANSION 1: Write sentences with two clauses using “past continuous” and “simple past” on strips of paper. Cut the strips into pieces and have students put them together to form sentences. EXPANSION 2: Use a timeline to demonstrate when events may occur.

Read the website information. Circle the correct answers to the questions.
Getting a prescription filled The most common place to fill a prescription is at a local pharmacy. Some pharmacies are located inside of a grocery or large “chain” store. It is also possible to fill a prescription by mail. It is best to fill all of your prescriptions with the same pharmacy. That way, the pharmacy has a record of all the medicines you are taking. This helps prevent bad drug interactions. Your health insurance may require you to use certain pharmacies. They may not pay for your prescription if you do not use one of these pharmacies. In the US, pharmacies may have different prices for the same medication. To find a pharmacy that takes your health insurance:
• Call the phone number on the back of your insurance card. • Call the pharmacy you want to use to see if they have a contract with your insurance company.
Culture Tip Read the tip. Ask students to share if they have recently been to a pharmacy. Expand the conversation by asking Where was it? Did they have to show an insurance card? Optional: Expand the conversation by bringing in medicine bottles to discuss instructions, dosage, etc. Use The Immigrant Guide health and medical section to spark more conversation.
1. The most common place to fill a prescription is a. at a doctor’s office.
b. at a local pharmacy.
2. “Fill a prescription” is the same as a. pick up a prescription.
b. return a prescription.
3. Pharmacies can be located inside a grocery store. a. true
b. false

4. It is best to pick up your prescriptions at the same pharmacy because a. they have a record of your medicines. b. they have the cheapest prices. 5. You can call the pharmacy to ask if they a. have a contract with your insurance company.
b. know the number on your insurance card.
CULTURE TIP All medicine comes with directions on the label. It’s important to read the directions carefully. They will tell you how often to take the medicine, how much to take, what kind of side effects it can cause, and what to do if the medicine doesn’t work. You can only get prescriptions at a pharmacy after talking to your doctor. Is this the same in your native country? Where do you buy medicine in the US? 34

How will you prepare them? Words, phrases, logistics. • If you are not going out, consider arranging the classroom as a place and have them role play. • Consider a guest speaker or a former student to share stories about how they learned English. Warm-up: Greet students. Practice the material from last class by asking a few questions using the grammar and vocabulary. Review homework from the last lesson. Warm-up question: Do you remember your favorite thing you did growing up? Listening Track 09 Grandma: Lila—are you watching TV again? Lila: Yeah! Didn’t you watch a lot of TV when you were a child, Grandma? Grandma: Oh no, Lila, I didn’t. I used to play outside. Lila: What did you do outside? Grandma: Oh, I used to do all kinds of things, like play with the neighbors, climb trees, ride my bike. It was a lot of fun! Lila: How about my dad? What did he do when he was younger? Grandma: When he was a child, he played a lot outside too. He used to get into trouble sometimes. Lila: What kind of trouble? Grandma: Well, he used to argue with his siblings, but now they almost never fight. Lila: How about when he was a teenager? Grandma: When he was a teenager, he used to eat a lot of junk food, but now he eats very healthy! Lila: Did he stay out late? Grandma: No, he didn’t. He used to have a curfew! Lila: What’s that? Grandma: He used to have to be home by 10 p.m. Lila: Wow—that’s late! Listening Track 10 Paula: Before I came here, I lived in El Salvador. I worked as a cook in my family’s restaurant. I used to wash the dishes and help with the cooking. I didn’t use to speak English but now I can. After I came here, I used to spend a lot of time alone. But then I went to English classes. My teacher was very nice and helped me. I made a lot of friends. Now I own my own restaurant and can talk to people. I used to feel scared, but now I feel proud. 44

I do.
C. Read instructions. Play the listening track all the way through. Instruct students to circle the activities Lila’s dad used to do. Track can be repeated multiple times. D. FOCUS: Questions with “use to + verb”GG and statements with “used to + verb.” Used to is a regular verb. It indicates a change from the past to the present. Since it always refers to the past, “-d” is added to the base form of the word use. When the statement is positive, used to is the correct form (I used to dance a lot). When the statement is negative, use to is the correct form (I didn’t use to dance a lot). NOTE: In spoken English, “used to” and “use to” can be very hard to differentiate. Tell students they might not hear the difference and to pay attention to whether or not “didn’t” comes before “use.”
E. Read the instructions. Ask students to circle the correct answer. NOTE: The base form of the verb is used after “to.”

CULTURE TIP In the US, when people want to get to know others, they often talk about things like sports, movies, shopping, and the weather. This is called “small talk.” To get to know someone better, and have a deeper conversation, you can ask them questions about their family, their past experiences and their opinions.

L8 REVIEW & PROGRESS CHECK What to bring to class: • Dice (or use an app on your phone) - one per pair Timing Note: • The Review and Progress Check can take as long as two hours (about one hour each). 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 calling them up 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. A: Listening Track • Do the listening together (Activity A). Once complete, students will work on the rest of the Progress Check at their own pace. You’ll call students up for the oral section individually. • Explain to the students that you will play the listening only 3 times (no exceptions). If in a class, you will all listen together 3 times. For home classes, play the track only 3 times, even if your student doesn’t complete the full activity. • Read the instructions together as you would in a normal lesson. Listening: Track 11 Woman: Excuse me, can you help me? Grocery store worker (GSW): Sure. How can I help you? Woman: I’m looking for a few things before tomorrow’s big blizzard but can’t find them.

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. 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, 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, to use as an answer key 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—go to a pharmacy and look at prices, pick up something if you like, ask for help Option 2—go a local weather organization, history museum, or TV weather station and learn about the kinds of weather and storms in your area Option 3—choose a TV show (short film, documentary, etc.) to watch and discuss together in English. You can use subtitles if helpful. Or, consider somewhere else: Grocery store (practice vocabulary, apply for a store card, do a 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, do a scavenger hunt); museum; post office; drugstore; apartment for rent; city council meeting; public event (such as a farmer’s market or outdoor festival)

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: • Use possessive pronouns and adjectives • Talk about tools and fixing things What to bring to class: Table tents or name tags for student names • Bring in real objects for vocabulary section (various small tools) • Prepared sentence strips or index cards for Grammar section (optional) • The Immigrant Guide to supplement the Culture Tip conversation • Pronunciation Fun to supplement the pronunciation activities Teacher notes: The same grammar focus in this level appears earlier in this book as well as in Lesson 12 in 3R with a slightly different context to give students plenty of opportunity to practice. Warm-up: Greet students. Practice the material from last class by asking a few questions using the grammar and vocabulary. Review homework from last lesson. Listening Track 12 Katya: Hey Binh. Thanks for helping me fix my sink. How’s it going? Binh: Just a few more minutes and I’ll be done. Katya: Wow—there’s a lot of stuff here. Are all these tools yours? Binh: Some are mine and some I found under the sink. Katya: Oh, they must be my roommate’s. Let me put them away. Whose hammer is this; is it yours? Binh: Nope. Katya: Oh, my roommate probably left it here. Is that her screwdriver too? Binh: No, that’s mine. Katya: How about these nails and tape measure. Are they yours? Binh: Yep, those are mine. Katya: Okay—I think we got it all sorted out. Thanks again!

Pronunciation Read all the words. Point out the differences in the two examples. The “s” and “z” sounds use the same mouth position. The “s” sound is unvoiced—the vocal cords do not vibrate, and only air passes through the teeth. The “z” sound is voiced, meaning the vocal cords vibrate. By placing a hand on your throat when making a sound, you can tell if the sound is voiced (you’ll feel vibration) or not (no vibration). We use the “z” sound when the word ends in a vowel or other voiced sound like the m, n, ng, l, b, d, g, v, voiced th, or r sound. Go over answers.

52 Student Book 3 LEFT D. FOCUS: Possessive adjectives (first column) & possessive pronouns (second column). Possessive pronouns are used instead of nouns: “That dog is mine” instead of “That is my dog.” Possessive adjectives are used to describe nouns and always come before the nouns they modify: “My dog is big” instead of “The big dog is mine.” Students don’t need to know the grammar terminology. They just need to know how to use the structure and what it means. NOTE: These and those are the plural forms of this and that. This/these refer to objects close to the speaker; that/those refer to objects that are farther away. Read chart aloud and have students repeat. Point out the top chart.

CULTURE TIP In the US, it is common for friendly neighbors to allow each other to borrow tools or other things you might not have. For example, if you don’t have the tools you need to fix or build something and you don’t want to buy them, you can ask a neighbor or friend if you can use theirs. Another option is to go to a rental center or hardware store to rent what you need. You can also call a handyman to help you. 54

CULTURE TIP In the US, it is common for people to talk to a counselor, social worker, or therapist when they feel stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed. If you or someone you know feels this way for a long time, it might be a mental health issue. Most communities in the US have counseling centers or mental health help programs. Many cities have a free phone number you can call for help. How do people get help for mental health issues in your native country?
66 Student Book 3 LEFT Culture Tip Read the tip. Expand the conversation by asking Do people talk about depression in your native country? Why or why not? Show students a list of hotline phone numbers or resources if available. NOTE: Expand the conversation by discussing what might stop someone from using the resources. Talk about privacy issues. Use The Immigrant Guide health and medical section to spark more conversation.
Answer Key: H. 1. too much work 2. financial troubles/bills and marriage/family 3. financial troubles 4. injury/illness 5. too much work I. Answers will vary.

L16 REVIEW & PROGRESS CHECK
Timing Note: • The Review and Progress Check can take as long as two hours (about one hour each). Be sure to allow enough time for your students to work uninterrupted on the Progress Check. • Adapt Lesson 16 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 calling them up 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. A: Listening Track • Do the listening together (Activity A). Once complete, students will work on the rest of the Progress Check at their own pace. You’ll pull students out for the oral section individually. • Explain to the students that you will play the listening only 3 times (no exceptions). If in a class, you will all listen together 3 times. For home classes, play the track only 3 times, even if your student doesn’t complete the full activity. • Read the instructions together as you would in a normal lesson. Listening: Track 18 Brian: Hi Gina! I haven’t seen you in a while! How are you doing? Gina: Hey! I’m okay. I’m a little stressed lately. Brian: Really? Why? Gina: Well, work is overwhelming right now and my family is coming in town. I’m a planning a party for everyone, but I’m worried I don’t have time to run errands. Brian: Could I help you? Gina: That would be great! Brian: What should I do? Gina: Let’s see, I need someone to pick up plates, napkins, cups, and utensils. Brian: I’ll do that, no problem. Gina: Thanks Brian! That would be a huge help! G: Speaking Repeat the question one time if needed. Do not give prompts to the student. Score explanation: 2 = Understood question, answered question in a complete sentence AND used correct grammar (from any lesson) 1 = Understood question BUT answered with incorrect grammar and/or an incomplete sentence 0 = Did not understand question, did not give an answer, OR the answer did not make sense for question GRADING & SCORING After grading, write the correct number out of 100 at the top of the Progress Check in the Student Book.

Teacher Book 3 LEFT
Gerund= verb + ing. The gerund always works as a noun. Walking is quicker than driving. Phrasal verb = verb + preposition. These usually have a different meaning than the verb alone. I work every day = I go to my job every day. I work out every day = I exercise every day. Modal verb = a special kind of verb that we use to talk about certainty, advice, possibility, ability and others. I can work every day. = I have the ability I should work every day. = it’s a good idea if I work every day Present Continuous Correct form of be + base form + ing He‘s walking to school right now. We use the present continuous to talk about an action taking place right now. I’m walking to work tomorrow because my car broke down. We can also use the present continuous to talk about the future. Past Continuous Past form of be + base form + ing He was walking to school yesterday. We use the past continuous to talk about an action taking place at a certain time in the past. Future with will will + base form of verb I will walk to work next week. We use will to talk about actions in the future or offers. We use will for predictions, promises and when we have not made specific plans. Infinitive = to + verb to walk Base form = verb in the most basic form Walk Simple Present Base form of verb (+s with he/she/it) I walk to school every day. She walks to school on Tuesdays. We use the simple present for repeated actions or habits. Simple Past Base form + -ed I walked yesterday. We use the simple past to talk about completed actions in the past. Future with going to Present tense of be + going to + base form of verb I’m going to walk to work next week. We use going to to talk about (planned) actions in the future.

Welcome to Confidence and ConnectionsTM! Confidence and ConnectionsTM is Intercambio’s English language curriculum, designed to build practical, relevant English language skills and cultural awareness for students and teachers. The curriculum prepares adult immigrants to use English in the community and create meaningful connections by building each lesson toward a personal conversation. Through this program, Intercambio facilitates access for people with or without teaching experience to become great teachers, which enables communities to meet extensive unmet demands for English classes. Our purpose is to ignite human potential by cultivating a world where people from different cultural backgrounds connect, communicate, and engage. This section of the book will help you create dynamic classes that result in student participation, retention, and positive results. You will find tips on using the curriculum in the most effective and fun way, as we believe that fun and engaging classes encourage better student retention and, in turn, inspire better results. One-on-one teachers: Please note that although the activities described in this section are written with group classes in mind, most can be easily adapted for oneon-one settings. Remember that anytime there is an activity for pairs, you and your student are the pair. These three strategies will help you be a more effective teacher: 1. Keep it simple. Give short and simple instructions. Use fewer words and more gestures and visuals. Practice giving instructions before the class and anticipate where students may struggle. 2. Repetition is the key to success! To help your students remember a word or structure, repeat it 8-10 times in a variety of contexts. This will appeal to students with different learning styles and keep everyone engaged. 3. Maximize student engagement. Use techniques and fun activities that get students talking and moving around. As a teacher, you are also a learner—you’ll learn about language and effective teaching strategies, as well as what works for your students, yourself, different cultures, and life. It is okay to not know all the answers; be honest with yourself and actively find ways to learn alongside your learners. You are now part of a large and friendly Intercambio community. Good luck, have fun, and happy teaching!

Tips for Every Class Before we get into each section of the lesson, here are some general tips to keep in mind: ● ● ● ● ● ●
●
●
●
Encourage students to speak only English in class, especially in a group class with learners that speak different first languages. Write an agenda on the board* and go over it at the beginning of class (this is important even for one-on-one classes). Focus on the goal of your lesson. What will students be able to do after the lesson that they could not do before? (The “Students will be able to” statements at the onset of each lesson will help guide this.) Make the lesson relevant to students. Use examples that relate to their lives. Check for student understanding. Instead of asking, “Do you understand the directions?”, ask “What are you going to do?”. Instead of asking if they understand a grammar concept, have them answer questions using it. Model what you want students to do before having them do it. If they need to write a paragraph about themselves, write one about yourself first. If they need to ask questions with a partner, model asking and answering questions with a student first. Establish class routines by using similar activities, instructions, and gestures so that students know what to expect. Establish a gesture that means “repeat” so you can get them repeating words and phrases several times using that gesture. The teacher is always active, even when they’re not in the front of the room. When students are working alone or in pairs/groups, you should walk around providing help when appropriate. During fluency activities, take notes of common errors that can be addressed later. You don’t need to have all the answers. If you are not sure about something, write it on the board and tell your students you will get back to them—then make sure you do.
Self-reflection is the key to successful teaching. Create the habit of asking yourself these questions after each class: • • • • • •
Were the lesson goals met? How do I know? Was the lesson well-organized with a logical flow between activities? Did I check for understanding? How? Were the students doing more talking than I was? Were corrections made effectively? How? What types of groupings were used (teacher-class, small group, pairs) and for what types of activities?
*One-on-one teachers can use a piece of paper anytime we refer to “board” in these sections.

Starting Class The way you start a class impacts the entire lesson and classroom atmosphere. We encourage you to always start class on time. The first few minutes provide a great opportunity to review the last lesson, answer questions, work on common errors or simply interact with your students (ask about their weekend, plans, or news in general). Start your class with a warm-up activity. The ideal warm-up includes a review of previously learned material. It also provides a chance for students to get into the mindset of class, as well as allowing those who arrive late to join in without missing out on new material. Some quick and easy warm-ups that require little or no advance preparation are: Tic-Tac-Toe Make a 3 X 3 grid. Write a vocabulary word in each space. In order to mark an X or O, the student must use the word in a sentence or define it. You can play this with an individual student, in pairs, or in teams. ●
Apple Tree Draw an apple tree with 10 apples and put spaces underneath for each letter of the word. As the student calls out correct letters, write them in the spaces; if they give a wrong answer, erase one of the apples. The student’s goal is to guess the word before all of the apples are erased. Switch roles. ●
Flash Card Review Flash cards can be used to review new vocabulary, pronunciation, verb forms, etc. You can also have students form sentences with flash cards. Have students work in pairs (if you are teaching one-on-one, you and your student work together). Note: Make writing flash cards part of your classroom routine, such as during the vocabulary section of each lesson. This gives students something easy to practice with outside of class and keeps you from needing to do a lot of additional preparation for the lesson. ●
Memory Game Place flash cards face down on a table. Take turns flipping over two cards at a time. If they match, the student’s turn continues. If they don’t match, return cards to the same place on the table. Have your students help you prepare a set of cards. Matching cards could be a word and its definition, present and past tense verbs, or a word and its illustration. ●
Pictionary Draw a vocabulary word or phrase and have your students guess it. Or have a student draw for the class to guess. ●
Charades Act out a word or phrase and have your students guess it. Or have a student act it out for the class to guess. ●
Questions, Questions, Questions Write 6 questions from previous lessons on the board (or a piece of paper for one-on-one). In pairs, take turns throwing a die and answering the question that corresponds to the number rolled. ●
In addition to the warm-up, always take time at the beginning of class to review homework. You can have students check their own work against an answer key, review their work in pairs as they arrive, or go over it together. See the Homework section on page 127 for more tips.

Teaching Listening It is important to not skip this section because listening is an essential key to effective communication. It helps students learn new information, build confidence, and improve their vocabulary and pronunciation. Additionally, students will get used to how their teacher talks; that’s why it is important to expose them to different voices. The key to successful listening exercises is to employ a simple multi-step process. Start broadly at first, and then give students an opportunity to listen for details. The student book is designed so that each listening exercise includes three steps: pre-listening, listening for general information, and listening for details. Pre-Listening Before playing the listening track, prepare students by activating their background knowledge. Use one of these strategies: ● Point to the picture and ask What do you see? ● Point to the picture and ask What do you think the conversation is about? ● Point to the Listening Warm-up question in Activity Pre and ask What do you think the answer is? Write the students’ guesses down so that you can check and see who was right after playing the track. Listening for General Information Students should listen for a general piece of information the first time they hear the track (e.g., How many people do you hear?) Confidence and ConnectionsTM provides this type of question for you in the Listening Warm-ip section of each lesson (Activity Pre). After reading the question together, play the track all the way through without stopping. Go over answers by: 1. Having students discuss their ideas/answers in pairs before checking them as a class. 2. Checking the answers as a class. Note: Play the recording again if necessary. Listening for Details 1. Read the directions and model what students need to do first. Then play the track all the way through again. 2. Let students listen and do the task individually. If needed, play the track multiple times. 3. Ask students to compare their answers with a partner. 4. Check the answers together with the class and write them on the board. Put a question mark if students are not sure or do not have an answer yet. 5. Play the recording again. Make sure you have the correct answers and no question marks on the board. Expansion Ideas Follow the listening with a review so that students can use the language they just learned. Review suggestions: ● Practice dialogues in pairs after completing an activity. ● Have students retell the story they heard to each other. ● Ask students about a personal opinion or experience related to what they heard. ● Ask students to listen again and mark the stressed syllable in key words (such as words from the vocabulary section). Write the words on the board and mark the stress together. Read each word one by one and have students repeat after you. Do’s and Don’ts for Listening ● DO check the equipment and sound quality before the class. ● DO check students’ ideas after each listening exercise and have a clear wrap-up after the whole activity. ● DON’T say, Just listen. Give students a concrete goal/task before listening, e.g., How many people do you hear? (This is generally built into the pre-listening stage.) ● DON’T only ask Do you understand? Instead, ask specific questions, such as What is the problem? What is the solution? Remember: Listening is never boring! Some tracks might seem dull to you as a teacher, but it is actually challenging and engaging for your students. Don’t shortchange the listening section of the lesson by going through it too quickly.

Teaching Vocabulary How to present vocabulary Every time you present a vocabulary list, check if your students know any of the words before you teach them. Remember that, even if they know the meaning, they might not know how and when to use it in a sentence. When presenting vocabulary, follow the pattern: Meaning—Pronunciation—Form. 1. Meaning refers to the step in which you teach a word’s meaning and how to use it in a sentence. ● Use visuals to convey the meaning (a picture, a drawing on the board, miming, pointing, etc.) ● Tell a short anecdote and have students guess the meaning from the context. ● Give a simple definition/example. ● Only translate a word as a last resort. For example, refer students to a dictionary or translation device. 2. Pronunciation refers to how to say the word correctly. Use this process: ● Read the vocabulary list and have students repeat each word. ● Make sure everybody pronounces the vocabulary correctly. First, do choral repetition with the whole class several times. Then have smaller groups pronounce the word. Finally, have individual students repeat after you if necessary. The goal is to help students be comprehensible rather than perfect, so do not spend more than 1-2 minutes on it. ● Optional: For words with more than one syllable, it may be helpful to read the list again while students underline the stressed vowel sound. Do the first word together. Write a word on the board, pronounce it, and mark the stress. 3. Form refers to the spelling. Write the word on the board. Adding vocabulary words Be intentional about how you add additional vocabulary words to a lesson (beyond what is in the book). Consider adding a few new words that students need in order to ensure a lesson’s relevance (for example, if a “jobs” lesson does not include a student’s profession, add that word to the list). You can always reserve a section of the board to collect new words based on student needs or interests. Have students add the new words to their books at the end of the class using this list. Only add words that are truly relevant to students (in general, no more than 2 or 3 so that students don’t get overwhelmed). How to practice vocabulary The key to learning vocabulary is repetition and review. Allow multiple opportunities for all students to repeat the new vocabulary. Simply telling students a new word does not mean they have learned it. They need to use the new words in meaningful contexts many times before they learn them. Starting in Level 2, there is vocabulary practice in the student book. In addition, we recommend making flash cards of new vocabulary. Ideally, both you and your student(s) will each make your own set. This will allow students to practice at home and give you a set to use for a variety of activities each class, such as Charades, Pictionary, Memory Games, etc. See the Engagement and Easy Expansions section on page 132 for details. Review the new vocabulary during the next class meeting and periodically after that. When/if you create your own grammar activities, include vocabulary words that have been learned in past lessons. Regular review will help students remember the new words.

Teaching Pronunciation Working on English pronunciation can be a struggle for students because there are a lot of new sounds, multiple vowel sound possibilities, confusing spelling, words that are stressed differently, etc. Many adults have never activated the particular muscles needed to make certain English sounds. That is why it is crucial to build awareness of where to make sounds and put stress and then provide students with a lot of practice. Tell students that it is okay to have “an accent”—we all do! When teaching pronunciation, use the following pattern: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Select 1 or 2 sounds that might be confusing. Have them listen to you make the sound. Help them identify physically how to make the sound. Have students repeat the sounds. Have students repeat the sound in context (such as saying the sound found in a word).
Teach students how to use The Color Vowel® Chart in their books. This tool enables teachers and learners to talk easily and accurately about vowel sounds in English without the use of phonetic symbols. Instead of phonetic symbols, the Chart uses colors and key words to represent vowel sounds. How to find the “color” of a word in English: 1. Identify the syllable that receives the primary stress, i.e., the syllable we say longer and louder than the rest of the word. For example, teacher, student, attendance, and amazing each have one main stress. 2. Find the Color Vowel® anchor phrase that most closely matches the vowel sound in the stressed syllable. For example, teacher is GREEN TEA (because the stressed sound in teacher sounds like the stressed sounds in GREEN TEA), student is BLUE MOON, attendance is RED PEPPER, and amazing is GRAY DAY. 3. Practice pronunciation by saying the anchor phrase, the vowel sound, and the word, slowly like this: GRAY DAY… “a”... amAzing. Here are some other tips to help make teaching pronunciation most successful and fun: ● ●
● ●
Every time you introduce a new word or structure, make students repeat after you three times. Use Pronunciation Fun (Pro Fun) to practice challenging sounds through minimal pairs (two words that differ in only one sound, i.e., booTH, booT). Pro Fun is a great resource for a quick, energizing activity. See inside the front cover of Pro Fun for instructions and tips on how to use it. When teaching a consonant sound, use a picture, drawing, or your hands to demonstrate the movement of the organs of speech (tongue, teeth, lips) in the mouth. Encourage students to mimic the movement and repeat. Pay attention not only to sounds and separate words but also to sentence stress and intonation.
In addition to incorporating pronunciation into your lesson when teaching new words, you’ll find a dedicated pronunciation activity in each lesson of Confidence and ConnectionsTM. Learning English pronunciation can be challenging, but do not let it dishearten your students. Motivate your students by noticing their improvement and being supportive and encouraging.

Teaching Grammar Grammar is an important component of Confidence and ConnectionsTM and new grammar structures are introduced every lesson in the Language Tools section. It is important to introduce grammar both directly and in context. For real learning to take place, students need to have exposure to the language; they need to notice and understand grammar being used; they need to try using language themselves in “safe” practice ways and in more demanding contexts; and they need to remember the things they have learned. There are different ways to teach a language. For example, a formal approach might include teaching through rules, diagramming, translation, and drills. An informal approach might focus on pure conversation without a book and limit the amount of correction. Confidence and ConnectionsTM is designed to incorporate the best of these two extremes by introducing structure, then giving opportunities to practice through relevant life skills, contexts, and meaningful conversation. Language Tools Presentation (Grammar Chart) Before you begin the grammar practice activities, it’s important to walk through the chart with your students. If you are teaching a group, it is useful to copy the chart onto the board or on chart paper so that everyone can focus on the same thing. Many of the charts are set up as questions and answers. Some are statements. Many charts include a Tip Box. Go over everything with your students. Have students try to work out the rules for themselves first by giving them a minute to look at the chart silently. Then go over it together. Circle or point out what is important. Read each sentence and ask them to repeat. Provide some context so that students can relate the grammar to something they know. The grammar point will normally be something they have just heard in the listening section. Consider what is most difficult about the grammar point you are presenting. Is it a concept that they may not have in their native language? Is it the form, such as irregular past tense? Or is it the use (for example: when to use that particular structure, e.g., “I’m going to” vs. “I will”)? Use engagement techniques, such as TPR (which is explained in the Engagement and Easy Expansions section on page 132), index cards to scramble sentences and questions for them to put in order; sentence strips; and games to practice the grammar chart. This will build confidence and understanding before the practice activities. Don’t over-explain the grammar. Most students find too much grammatical terminology confusing. Many times, it’s best to just go over the examples, highlight the grammar point, and then practice. Beginning at Level 4, we provide a short explanation of the grammar under the grammar chart or box. Grammar Practice In this section, the activities provide closed practice, meaning that activities have only one answer. (In the Real Life section, students will do more open, communicative activities.) The first activity on the grammar page involves just filling in, matching, or selecting the best word. By the end of the page, the students are writing sentences. Try to expand the activities to provide multiple chances to work on the grammar point. See the Engagement and Easy Expansions section on page 132 for ideas. If you have students complete the activity in pairs, give them a chance to look at the activity individually for a minute first. After each activity, have students compare their answers in pairs or groups. Then check the answers together as a class. Take note of where students make mistakes. Write mistakes on the board and have students correct them (for one-onone students, see if they can correct their own mistakes first). More guidelines on making corrections can be found in the Making Corrections section on page 130.

Real Life The Real Life section is where students use the grammar structure, vocabulary words, and phrases for practical and personal application through reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities. Before this section, you will have presented the new material and the students will have practiced it. In Real Life, they apply the material—often on a personal level. For many of these activities, there are no right or wrong answers. We recommend you spend 45-60 minutes on the first three pages (listening, vocabulary, grammar) and 45-60 minutes on Real Life activities. Be sure to leave enough time for the Connect with Conversation activity at the end. Tips for success: ● ●
● ●
In many activities, answers will vary. Focus on natural conversation and correct only those mistakes that impede communication. You might want to note students’ mistakes and address them later. Adapt the exercises to meet your students’ needs. Make your own choices based on your students’ interests and abilities. If a topic does not seem relevant to your students, ask them to talk about something that is. This may require teaching a bit of additional vocabulary, and that’s okay. Do this quickly by adding relevant words to the board and briefly going over the pronunciation. First, have students work in pairs or small groups. Then have a whole-class discussion. For reading activities, one strategy is to have students walk around the room and read to themselves individually aloud. This is a way they can practice reading out loud without feeling embarrassed.
Culture Tip Every Real Life section has a Culture Tip that corresponds to a section of The Immigrant Guide. These sections in The Immigrant Guide often have more detail than what is mentioned in the Culture Tip, so we encourage you to refer to them if you want to explore topics on a deeper level. Culture is composed of both visible and invisible elements. We can think of it as an iceberg. What you see may be about 10% of the total. You may see behaviors, but attitudes and values can be hidden. You will generally find the Culture Tip on the first or second page in the Real Life section. Go over this with your students and have a short discussion. For groups, you can ask them to discuss the tip in pairs or small groups first and then share their ideas with the class. Starting in 2L and 2R, discussion questions are included with the Culture Tip. Possible discussion questions: ● Is it surprising? Why? ● What is your experience with it? ● How different is it from your native country? When it comes to cultural differences, there is no right or wrong way (other than laws, which our students do need to know). Our goal is for people to observe and learn from differences rather than interpret them as better or worse. We mention certain behaviors and actions that are more common in the United States, and we ask students to talk about common behaviors in their native country; nonetheless, every individual is different. Language and country of origin are two of many aspects that make us who we are. We encourage cultural humility—a lifelong process of self-reflection and learning. We hope to broaden teachers’ and students’ perspectives by opening doors to discuss our differences in safe, respectful ways. It’s easy to make mistakes when we connect with people across cultures, and that’s okay. Often we aren’t aware of mistakes we make, so awareness is usually the first step to learning more and bridging cultural gaps. If you enjoy connecting across cultures, students are likely to enjoy taking this profound learning journey with you!

125
Connect with Conversation At the end of the Real Life section you will find the Connect with Conversation box. The goal for Connect with Conversation is to give students an opportunity to talk about their lives, get to know their teacher (and other students), and form connections. This is what the whole lesson is building to, so please allow enough time for this activity. Do not skip it! First, talk about yourself to model the conversation, writing relevant words, phrases, questions, or a sample dialogue on the board. Then have your students discuss the topic with a partner or in small groups. If students get stuck, provide additional examples and vocabulary by brainstorming as a group and writing options on the board. Encourage them to use the vocabulary and grammar they have just learned. Finally, have each student share something their partner said. For one-on-one, have your student share what they learned about you and vice versa. Feel free to create your own scenarios and questions. For example, you can use Find Someone Who (see page 133) as an expansion. See the Engagement and Easy Expansions section on pages 132-135 for details. Remember that the objective is to create a respectful and comfortable environment to practice English using real-life experiences—and to have fun!

Homework All Confidence and ConnectionsTM textbooks have a homework section on the last page of the lesson. Typically, there are at least three activities. Homework is an extremely important part of the lesson as it provides for structured practice. Demonstrate its importance by assigning and reviewing it every class. To help you and your students get the most from it, here are some tips: ● ●
●
●
●
●
Be consistent. Your students will learn more if they do homework after every class. Give short assignments. Most of our adult students lead busy lives. They don’t have hours to spend on homework. Giving short assignments can make it more “doable.” For example, if a student consistently does not do their homework, ask them to commit to just one of the exercises, instead of all of them. Don’t wait until the last minutes of class to assign homework. Include it in the agenda on the board, and mention it during class. Allocate 5 minutes at the end of the class to walk through the homework activities and do a couple of examples together. This will help reduce anxiety because they understand the task better. Don’t neglect the journal prompts. You can provide a notebook/journal to encourage your students to use. This can be as simple as a few pieces of paper folded in half and stapled in the middle to form a notebook. Lower-level students may only write a few words, but as your students progress, their entries will become longer. Rather than correcting journal entries, respond to the content only. As students advance, consider having classmates review each other’s entries. If they want you to collect and correct their entries, you can do that if you have the time. Be sure to go over the homework in the following class. If you are tutoring an individual student, go over the answers together. If you are teaching a group, have students check in pairs or have people write answers on the board as they enter the classroom. Then go over the answers together to make sure they are correct. If students did not complete their homework, give them a few minutes at the beginning of class to do it.
Explain to students that if they want to improve their English, they must do their homework. Encourage them to ask questions if they have difficulties. Practicing English even for 15 minutes per day will make a big difference.
intercambio.org/teachers
127
Ending Class Be intentional about how you use the last few minutes of class, and be sure to end on a positive note. Spend this time reviewing, playing a game, having a conversation, or working on pronunciation. Here are some tips for making the end of class most effective: ● ● ● ● ● ●
Have a collection of filler activities, worksheets, or conversation ideas in case you end up with extra time. Use the back of the student book to review words, grammar, or other quick references. We do not recommend starting a new “lesson” in the last few minutes of class because you won’t have enough time to introduce the lesson effectively. Go over the agenda once again with your students. Ask for examples of what they’ve learned. Confirm the date and time of the next class. Showing this on a calendar can help low-level students understand. Use exit tickets (see below).
Exit Tickets Exit tickets are strips of paper that include questions that allow the teacher to check student understanding. Alternatively, write the question on the board for students to answer, rather than handing out tickets. In order to exit the room, they must turn in the ticket or answer the question verbally. Exit tickets have the added bonus of allowing you the opportunity to check-in with students indirectly, yet individually. They can give you insight into how your students are doing with the new material and how you may need to focus a review in the next class. Even Level 1 students can be given exit tickets. You can ask them to write one new word they learned in class. Higher-level students can be asked to answer a question using the grammatical structure covered in class, or they can write a sentence with new vocabulary. Creative Exit Ticket Ideas ● ● ●
Pass around a box of random objects. Students choose an object from the box and say why it indicates how they feel, or use it in a context related to the lesson. It can be amazing to hear the connections they make. Pass around pictures of people. Students choose a picture based on how they feel at the end of the lesson (happy, confused, frustrated, excited, etc.). Write a few sentences on the board that students will respond to on their ticket: o I learned ___. o I liked ___. o I need to study more about ___. o I will practice by ___.

Tips for Checking Answers in Groups Checking answers to activities is a must! Since you will be checking answers several times each lesson, be intentional about how you do this to keep students engaged during the process. Here are some tips: 1. As students finish an activity, assign pairs to do a check first. This allows students to confirm and/or discuss their answers together. The peer might benefit from explaining why they believe they have the right answer as well as the student who gets to process an uncertainty. The teacher can wander the room to answer questions and, once he/she has determined that an answer is correct, assign pairs to write it on the board. This also gives students who have not completed the work a chance to attempt it. This preliminary step ensures that there will be less dead time during the whole-class check. 2. As you monitor students during an activity by walking around the room, look for people who have a correct answer. Ask them to write their answer on the board. As students finish their work, have them check their work using the answer key that the class has collectively generated on the board. 3. After bringing the whole class together, have students take turns giving the correct answer. Train students to monitor themselves. Let them know that they can pass (not answer) if they want to. This can save time and embarrassment. Sometimes, a student will hesitate. Consider telling them that you will come back to them, and give them a few seconds to think. Be sure that you do! Also, ask the class to let the nominated student answer the question. When others shout out the answer to “help,” politely advise them that this is, for example, “Maria’s” question, and they must let Maria answer it. You would then give Maria six seconds to answer. (Again, she can pass if she wants to.) 4. Try to cover the entire room. Research shows that teachers tend to call on students in an uneven way. Consider moving as if you were drawing an asterisk so that you move from the student in the upper right corner to the lower left and then from lower right back up to upper left. Then middle-rear to front, followed by left to right. Or, in classrooms where students sit in a horseshoe formation, call on the student to the far right first, then the far left, then the person next to the far right student, and so forth. 5. To encourage students to learn each others’ names, you might ask the student who just answered to name the next student to speak. 6. Ask a student who thinks they have all the right answers to read all the answers. Other students say “STOP!” if they hear something different from their own answer. The original student and “stopper” must then justify their different answers. The one who is correct continues reading. Sometimes this results in spirited arguments or in a class vote on the correct answer. It always results in everyone paying attention! 7. As an alternative to Tip 1, after pairing students, pair the pairs (to make groups of 4). Continue until you run out of students. Skip the whole group check. This will ensure correct answers without having to check them as a whole class.

Making Corrections Giving feedback to students about their English is an important part of teaching. Class may be the only opportunity students have to be corrected. Plus, many students feel that if they’re not being corrected, they’re not learning. At the same time, it is important to be sensitive regarding mistakes. Before you decide whether or not to correct the student, pay attention to what kind of mistake it is to determine if, when, and how to correct it. 1. During a controlled exercise or drill, the focus is on accuracy, and the teacher should give immediate feedback. Generally the first 2-3 vocabulary and grammar activities in Confidence and ConnectionsTM are controlled activities focused on accuracy. Some ways to make this type of correction are: ● ●
●
Give a chance for self-correction by showing with a gesture or facial expression that there is an error in the sentence, or by repeating the sentence up to the point of the error and stopping: “Your wife …??” In a group class, use peer correction if self-correction is not working. To do this, ask if anyone else in the class can offer the correction. If someone does, then ask the original student to repeat the correct sentence. Do this sensitively by creating an atmosphere where mistakes are applauded as a sign of courageous practice. If neither self- nor peer-correction is eliciting the correct response, say the entire sentence aloud while making the correction. Be sure to have the student repeat the full, correct sentence, not just the word that you corrected. In a group class, you may even have all students repeat the correction—generally if one person needs the correction, everyone does.
2. If the mistake was made during a “fluency” exercise (e.g., during conversation), be cautious about not interrupting to make a correction. Ways you might address this are: ● ●
As you listen to your student(s) practicing conversation, jot down mistakes you hear. Following the activity, discuss the problem areas (without pointing out who made which mistake in group classes). Write the sentence with the mistake. Then, talk about the correction, and invite your student(s) to try to correct it. In a group class, you can have the group correct it on the board.
3. During an informal exchange before, during, or after class, the focus is on normal, human conversation in English. Do not interrupt students to make a correction; instead, monitor the activity, take notes, and address the mistakes later. You might want to correct only those mistakes that clearly impede the communication or have already been covered in class. 4. When you check a writing task, follow the same framework as in #1 and #2 above. If the exercise is intended to develop fluency (i.e., write about a certain topic), try to limit corrections and, instead, focus on making general comments or asking questions about or responding to the writing. If you do make corrections, they should only be made for grammar or vocabulary that students should already know. Make sure not to use a red pen to make corrections or write comments. For real learning to take place: When a student makes an error, have him or her repeat the correction, in context—at least twice, perhaps three times. If it’s an error that many students make, have the whole class repeat the correction in context. Students need to understand that making errors in English will help them learn if they have a chance to self-correct and repeat the correction. As a teacher, it is easy to forget this and, instead, simply say the correct word after a mistake is made and then allow the class to continue. Corrections like this may not sink in.

Teacher Toolkit Using objects in your class can keep lessons fun and engaging. Fill a tote bag with these objects. Store your teacher book in the bag, and you’ll always have an easy, go-to toolkit for class. Here are some suggestions for your toolkit, as well as ideas for how to use them. Pencil and pen (and/or colored markers) ● Bring different colors to create color-coded sentence cards and flash cards or to make corrections. ● NOTE: Students often don’t like making mistakes in their books. However, they may not bring a pencil to class, so having extra pencils on hand can help. Making mistakes is part of the learning process! Index cards ● Word cards: Use the vocabulary from lessons and generate a stack of cards to play various timed games. ● Sentence strips: Write the words from grammar charts on individual index cards to practice making sentences. ● NOTE: It is a great idea to have students make their own flash cards. This not only saves you time, but also gives students extra opportunities to practice! Notebook ● Many students like to take additional class notes. Have them use a dedicated notebook to do this. Consider dividing the notebook into sections using sticky notes to keep the notebook organized.

Engagement and Easy Expansions We learn best when we are having fun! Try to make class engaging and meaningful to your students by doing a variety of activities during class. Below are some low-prep activities you can do with your student(s). While many can be adapted to cover different topics (grammar, speaking, pronunciation, writing), we have indicated the most common use for each one in parentheses. Ball Toss (Speaking, Grammar) Form a circle and toss a ball or stuffed animal. For one-on-one, stand across from each other. ● If working on verbs like to be, the teacher can say “I,” then toss the ball to a student who should say “am” and toss it back to the teacher. The teacher says “you” and tosses it to another student who says “are,” etc. ● Alternatively, the teacher asks a question and throws the ball to a student who answers it. Now that student asks a question and tosses it to another student to answer, etc. You can do this to review or to practice the questions in the Language Tools chart. Categorizing (Vocabulary, Pronunciation) Sort vocabulary words into different categories. For example, if students learned about food in a certain lesson, use categories of meat, dairy, vegetable, fruit, and grain and have students place items into the correct categories. This also works with sounds. For example, have them put verbs with -ed into groups based on whether -ed sounds like “t”, “d”, or “id.” Charades (Vocabulary) In the classic game of charades, students mime words or phrases while the others watch. The class guesses the demonstrated word and, for extra practice, uses it in a sentence. To make this more fun, write the vocabulary words on strips of paper and wad them into a ball. Toss it to the first student, who pulls out a strip and acts out the word or phrase on it while the class guesses. The student then throws it to the next person. Class Tic-Tac-Toe (Vocabulary) The teacher draws a tic-tac-toe grid on the board and fills the spaces with vocabulary words. Divide the class into two teams. In order to put an X or O in a space, the team representative must use it in a sentence correctly. Students can also play this game in pairs. Cocktail Party (Speaking, Grammar) This activity mirrors a cocktail party. Students are given a topic and walk up to different people and talk about it. It’s often helpful to list some questions on the board to get them started. Students should speak and listen to multiple people during this exercise, which may require some encouragement from the teacher. This can also be a dynamic way to check answers or to use the Connect for Conversation section of the book. Colored Index/Grammar Cards (Grammar) These can really help students interact with grammar structures. Colors can be used to indicate singular or plural, or verb tense changes based on pronouns.

Conversation Rotation or One-on-One Exchange (Speaking, Grammar) Students line up across from each other and practice either asking and answering specific questions or discussing a topic (e.g., family, celebrations, etc.) with the person across from them. After pairs have a chance to answer the question or discuss the topic, take the first person in Line A and move them to the end of Line A. Everyone else in Line A moves down one space so that they have a new partner. Repeat several times, moving only the person in Line A.
Concentration/Memory Game (Vocabulary) Using vocabulary from previous lessons, write the word on one index card and the definition or a picture on another. Do this for each vocabulary word you want to use. To play, place all the cards face down on the desk in an organized fashion. The students try to find a match by flipping over two cards at a time. If the word and the definition match, they keep the cards and go again. If they’re incorrect, they place the cards face down in the same spot so the next student can use that information to make a better guess. You can play in pairs or as a group. Corners (Warm-up, Speaking) Post pictures of opposite things on two walls (or call out the words) and have students move to the side of the room that corresponds to the option that is their preferences of the given two. Call on volunteers to share why they chose what they did. Example word pairs: beach/mountains, snow/rain, cats/dogs, ice cream/cake. Adapt the words to the level of your students. For one-on-one, the student and teacher can write their preferences on pieces of paper and then reveal their answers at the same time. Dialogue/Role Play (Speaking, Grammar) Turn a listening exercise or grammar activity based on a dialogue, into a role play by pairing students and having them practice aloud. Find Someone Who (Warm-up, Speaking) Students must interview classmates to find someone who fits into each category (see short example below). Make sure students know how to ask each other by writing a sample question and answer on the board (e.g., Do you like bananas? Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.). Find Someone Who…… Student Name 1. ...likes bananas. __________________ 2. ...likes vegetables. __________________ 3. ...likes liver. __________________ Be sure to follow-up the activity by asking for students’ summaries of what they discovered (e.g., Who likes bananas? etc.). You can choose questions based on that day’s topic or review previous grammar points.

Fly Swatter Game (Vocabulary, Grammar) Write vocabulary words or put pictures on the board. Divide the class into two teams and have one member of each team come to the board. Give each person at the board a fly swatter. Give the word or clue, and the student that hits the correct word or picture first gets a point for their team. To practice grammar, write verb conjugations on the board (e.g., have / has). Say pronouns and have students hit the correct form of the verb. Heads Up (Vocabulary) Students work in groups of 3-4. One student in the group picks a card with the vocabulary word on it and puts it to their forehead without looking at it. Other group members give them clues to help them guess the word. Info Gap (Speaking) This activity is done in pairs. Each partner is missing some information, but together they have all of the information. Depending on the specific activity, Partner 1 asks Partner 2 a question. Partner 2 answers by looking at what they have and providing the needed information to Partner 1. In some Info Gap activities, Partner 1 and 2 are role playing and after they complete a round, they reverse roles. Other Info Gap activities are similar to the game Battleship where Partners 1 and 2 take turns asking and answering questions to complete the activity. Magazine Picture Hunt (Vocabulary) Hand out magazines to the class. Give them a word and have them find a picture of it in their book. Have people stand up when they find it. Pictionary (Vocabulary) Draw a vocabulary word or phrase. Have your students guess it. Switch roles. Having students draw their representation of a word allows for deeper understanding of the meaning of the word. For extra points, have students either spell it or use it in a sentence. Questions, Questions, Questions (Speaking) Write 6 questions on the board or on a piece of paper for one-on-one (make sure to number them). In pairs, students take turns throwing a die and answering the question that corresponds to the number they rolled. You can adapt the questions depending on how well the students know each other, or to focus on reviewing the vocabulary or grammar from a previous lesson. Every so often, erase one of the questions and write a new one. This can also be played in groups. Sample questions for new students
Sample questions for students who know each other
1. What’s your name? 2. Where do you live? 3. What do you do for a living? 4. Tell us about your family. 5. What is your favorite thing to do? 6. What is your favorite animal?
1. What are you scared of? 2. What are you good at? 3. What makes you laugh? 4. What makes you angry? 5. Tell us about your first memory. 6. What do you do to relax?
Running Dictation (Listening, Reading, Writing) Have sentences posted on one wall and put students in pairs. One is the writer and one is the runner. The runner must go to the wall, read and memorize a sentence, and then tell it to the writer. Snowball Fight (Warm-up, Speaking) Have students write 1-3 interesting things about themselves on a piece of paper and wad it up. They now have a snowball fight (throw the paper at each other). After around 30 seconds of this, have students pick up the paper nearest to them. They now have to ask questions until they find the writer. Time Expression Cards (Vocabulary) Use slips of paper or index cards to write time words so that students can put them in order (morning, afternoon, evening, or early, midday, late). You can do the same thing when students are learning sequence words such as first, next, then, finally, and other expressions of time or order. 134

Total Physical Response—TPR (Vocabulary, Grammar) At Intercambio, we use elements of TPR to get students physically engaged with the language. To use this technique, start by saying a word or phrase while modeling the action. Students will start doing the action with or without speaking. Next, speak without modeling so that students are required to respond to what you are saying, not what you are doing. Finally, have a student give the command while the class performs the action. The basics of TPR The Intercambio Way:
Example: Write your name on the board. Say and do underline my name: Anna. Have a student come up to board. Write your name again, Anna and say underline my name and have the student do what you said. Trash Can Conjugation (Grammar) Have students crumple recycled paper (about 10 balls each) and then set up trash cans labeled with the verb you are working on (have/has or am/is/are, for example). Hold up a pronoun (she, he, it, I, etc.) and have students throw a wad of paper into the appropriate trash can. Alternatively, you could label the trashcans present, past, and future and then say sentences in these different tenses. Students have to throw the crumpled paper into the trash can with the right tense. Two Truths and a Lie (Warm-up, Speaking) In pairs, have students tell their partners three statements about themselves. Two should be true and one a lie. Partners can ask questions before guessing which was the lie. This works for the first day of class and for students who know each other. In the second case, use a specific question (e.g., What are three things you did last weekend?).

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. 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™.
Intercambio is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization founded in 2001.
