Teacher Book 4 RIGHT
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 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 HERE ARE THE TOP STORIES By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: • Talk about the news and news stories using a variety of tenses learned in previous levels 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 supplement the pronunciation activities • Hand mirror (or a smartphone with a camera set in selfie mode) to show mouth shapes in pronunciation activity • The Immigrant Guide to supplement the culture tip Teacher notes: We’ve provided simple definitions for a few vocabulary words and phrases that we anticipate may be challenging to define. In Lesson 1, those words are: • social media: websites or apps on which you can interact with other users/people; e.g., Facebook, Instagram • media: TV, radio, internet, and newspapers that you use to communicate with other people • economy: the money and trade system of a country Warm-up: Greet students as they enter. Be sure to start class on time (or at least start with 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 each student 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 your and 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 your student's name, and the names of their family, children, pets, etc. Listening Track 01 Jim: Welcome to WFRN News. Here are the top stories this evening. Tonya: A fire started this morning at a local restaurant. Firefighters put out the fire. However, one of the cooks broke his foot while evacuating the building. He’s being treated at General Hospital. Jim: Tonight is the exciting game between Brazil and England in the World Cup final. Sports fans for both teams are already lining up to get into the stadium. Lisa Smith is there now. Lisa? Lisa: Thanks, Jim. I’m at the stadium with thousands of excited fans. Some have been here since yesterday morning. It’s a sea of painted faces, and a lot of singing and yelling. Who will win the final? Well, you’ll have to wait and see. Jim: Thanks, Lisa. The World Cup final is starting tonight at 6 p.m. Tonya: Our last story of the night is about a young woman who is sailing around the world in a small boat. The 14year -old will be the first in her age group to make the trip alone. She is doing well and sends her love to her friends and family. Follow her journey online on our website.

PRONUNCIATION Listen to your teacher. Complete the sentences with the words you hear. Listen for the Z sound. Practice with a partner. A
1. Did you hear the _________________________ story about the dog? news 2. The _________________________in the news this morning made her laugh. 3. You can go to the _________________________ to get more information. 4. The ___________________________ I saw yesterday surprised me! 5. The __________________________ for next Thursday’s big sale were printed yesterday. intercambio.org/students

Pronunciation After reading each sentence twice and giving students a chance to write the correct words, have them read their answers aloud in pairs. Listen for whether they wrote the correct word and are pronouncing the z sound at the end when appropriate. You can use Pronunciation Fun for more practice and strategies on the s vs z sound. Here are possible sentences to use: 1. Did you hear the news story about the dog? 2. The stories in the news this morning made her laugh. 3. You can go to the website to get more information. 4. The headline I saw yesterday surprised me. 5. The ads they printed didn't work very well. These sentences were written intentionally so that students have to listen for the “s” ending. All of these words end in voiced consonant sounds. When this happens and the word is plural, the “s” at the end makes a “z” sound. Students often have trouble pronouncing the “s” at the end of plural words and may not be able to distinguish between an “s” or “z” sound yet. Pronouncing words that end with "s" is a common challenge, especially when the "s" makes the "z" sound. If they can't produce the "z" sound after some effort, move on and try again in a later lesson. intercambio.org/teachers

Pronunciation The sh sound: Keep your tongue in the middle of your mouth. Your teeth almost touch. The tongue touches the roof of your mouth as you blow air over it continuously. Demonstrate this sound. Have students use a mirror or cell phone (with the camera set in selfie-mode) to see the placement of the tongue. (If you have access to a large mirror, it works well to stand side-by-side in front of the mirror with a student while making the sound so that the student can see your mouth and their mouth at the same time.) See Pro Fun for more practice. See PRONUNCIATION. (All bold font within the callouts indicates a reference to the teacher training notes in the back of the book, beginning on page 117.)

Homework Students will be more likely do homework if they understand how to do the activities. The goal of any homework is to practice outside of class, so it is important that they have success with it. 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.

Journal Encourage students to complete the journal activity. Providing a specific goal for length—such as 5 sentences, or a paragraph— will help motivate them to do this. Alternatively, ask students to write for a specific amount of time (e.g., 10 minutes). Be sure students have an opportunity to share their responses in the next class, either in pairs, aloud, or they can turn it in so you can comment on it. When commenting on the journal entry, focus on content and not corrections—particularly if you gave students a time limit rather than a length limit.

Practice the material from last class by asking a few questions using the grammar and vocabulary. Review homework from last lesson. Be sure to discuss their answers to the journal section. Listening Track 03 Ursula: Hi Dan. How are you doing? Dan: I’m doing okay, but I’m upset because somebody hacked my email yesterday! Ursula: Oh no! That happens a lot these days. You should change your password every couple of months. Dan: That’s a good idea. What else should I do? Ursula: You should also shred any documents that have your personal information. Don't just recycle them. Dan: Great idea—thanks for telling me! So, do I have to call the email company to create a new password? Ursula: No, you don’t have to call. You can do that online.

Avery: Okay, thanks!
G. Ask students if they do the things listed in the answers. NOTE: The key to writing the sentence correctly is to identify the correct pronoun.

Robert: Well, I’m 62 years old and I’m pretty healthy overall, but I do have high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. I take medication for both. I used to have allergies when I was a child, but now I don’t. Last fall I was in the hospital for four days with pneumonia. Luckily, the doctors were able to give me some antibiotics and I got better pretty quickly. I also had knee replacement surgery last year. It wasn’t too bad. I was able to get back to my normal activities after a couple of months. My family has had some health problems. My dad had diabetes too, and passed away from lung cancer when he was 75. My mom has high blood pressure and had a heart attack in 2010, but she recovered and is doing great now!

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 8 Jennifer: Hey Beto. How are you doing? Beto: Hey Jennifer. Good! I’m leaving tomorrow to go on vacation. I’m going to visit my brother in San Francisco. Jennifer: Nice! You should visit the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s amazing. Beto: Oh yeah. I really want to see it. Do I have to pay anything to drive on it?
Jennifer: No, you don’t have to pay. It’s free! Beto: Great. I don’t have enough money to do anything too expensive, so that sounds perfect. Jennifer: It’s really beautiful. Make sure to take a lot of pictures. Beto: I will!

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 for Lesson 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 (maybe in classes, 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 – If coordinated ahead of time, you may be able to visit a local newspaper office or TV news station. Learn about how newspapers are created and distributed. Students may want to ask questions about how they get their information, how news is shared or what kinds of things get printed or published. Option 2 – Visit a local home improvement store. Make a list ahead of time of things you or your student need to complete a home project. Go on a scavenger hunt together to find the items. Ask questions to the staff about how to do anything they aren’t sure about. Option 3 – Visit a local Community Center. Learn about services they offer, upcoming events/activities and partnerships they have. Or, consider somewhere else: A 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) 58

PRONUNCIATION A
Listen to your teacher. Circle the word you hear. Practice the OLIVE SOCK and BLACK CAT sounds with a partner.
A. Have students repeat each word after you multiple times. Be sure to work on stress and pronunciation. EXPANSION: Spend time working on the pronunciation of bottle, pocket (OLIVE)/ battle, packet (BLACK). Use Pronunciation Fun for ideas on how to work on these sounds.
1. There was a battle / bottle on the beach. 2. Do you have anything interesting in your packet / pocket? 3. Are you going to take a map / mop? 4. Did they bring a cat / cot? 5. There was a giant bear behind their backs / box. intercambio.org/students
51
Pronunciation Read each sentence twice. NOTE: While the sentences make sense with either italicized word, the intention behind this activity is to practice differentiating the BLACK CAT and OLIVE SOCK sounds. If students have trouble with this activity, try working on the similar-sounding words with them by saying the words while standing behind them (so they cannot see your lips) and having students point to the words they hear you say. Students generally need to be able to hear the different sounds before they can produce them. More minimal pairs for these sounds and instructions on how to produce them can be found in Pro Fun. EXPANSION: Have students mark sentence stress while you are reading the sentences. Write the sentences on the board and mark the stressed words in each sentence. Have students practice saying the sentences, stressing the right words.

In the US, fire bans and stove restrictions are enforced in many areas to help reduce the risk of wildfire. Campfires, certain types of stoves, smoking and other activities might be illegal. It is your responsibility to know what the current restrictions are for the area that you plan to visit, whether it’s having a BBQ at a park or camping. Fire restrictions are more common during the summer in dry parts of the country. Are certain kinds of fires illegal in your native country? 54

Look at the poster. Answer the questions and discuss with a partner.
H. Explain how to read the poster. Have students work in pairs to answer the questions. If students need some suggestions for what they can do to make the world safe for people with food allergies, here are some ideas: (1) before taking food to someone’s home, ask if they have allergies; (2) when making food for other people, avoid using the 8 foods mentioned; (3) if you invite people to dinner, ask first if they have any allergies or food intolerances.
1. Look at the eight foods that cause the most reactions. Are you allergic to any of these foods? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Have you or someone in your family had a mild or serious reaction to food? Describe the reaction. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 5. What do you think you can do to make the world a safer place for other people with food allergies? _____________________________________________________________________________________
CULTURE TIP It is common in the US for people to talk about dietary restrictions and food allergies. Many schools don’t allow school lunches to include nuts. People often ask guests who are coming for dinner if they have any allergies or special diets. If you don’t know what someone can or can’t eat, it is generally considered polite to ask. 60

Culture Tip Expand the conversation by asking Do you know anyone who has food allergies? What are they? Some people label food that they provide at a potluck, buffet or meal to indicate potentially allergenic food (e.g., "Contains dairy"). Have you ever seen these labels? Do you think it's important to label food?

JJ I. Before the task, have students work in pairs or small groups to brainstorm at least 4 ways to care for their teeth. Then have students read the flyer to check their ideas and do the task.
Read the flyer. Circle the correct answers.
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Keeping your teeth and gums clean can prevent cavities and gum disease.
Visit the dentist regularly. Checkups can find tooth decay, gum disease, and other problems before they lead to more serious issues like tooth loss.
Drink fluoride water to keep teeth strong and reduce cavities.
Avoid sugary snacks and drinks which can lead to tooth decay, type 2 diabetes, and other health problems.
Avoid all forms of tobacco and limit alcohol. Smokers have twice the risk of gum disease compared to nonsmokers. Excessive alcohol use combined with tobacco use causes at least 75% of head and neck cancers.
If you have diabetes, work with your doctor to keep your blood sugar close to your target level. High blood sugar increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Read the article about ways to remember things. Pick two tips that you might try and discuss with a partner.
Five Easy Tips to Improve Your Memory Memory, like body strength, requires you to “use it or lose it.” The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. But not all activities are equal. The best brain exercises break your routine and challenge you to use and develop new brain pathways. Here are some other interesting ways to improve your memory:
I. Before the task, have students work in pairs to brainstorm 3-4 ways to remember things. Then have students read the article to check their ideas. Talk about common things people forget to do.
1. Use pictures or short notes We remember visual cues better than words. Say you need to remember an appointment. Try putting the appointment on a sticky note and stick it on a mirror. 2. Talk aloud – even to yourself Say out loud: “I’m walking up the stairs to get my glasses..” “I’m putting my parking ticket in my pocket so I can get it validated.” “ I’m going to the store to buy milk and eggs.” If an idea strikes while you're in the shower, rehearse it out loud to help remember it. Say it three times out loud: “Buy filters for furnace, buy filters for furnace, buy filters for furnace.” 3. Do it backward One study found that walking backward may improve short-term memory. It’s not clear why this is the case, but people may associate reverse motion with a return to the past, which may trigger a memory response. 4. Exercise and diet No pill can give you the same benefits as regular exercise and good fresh food. If exercise isn't part of your day, start out with a five minute walk each day. Then increase to a longer walk. If walking is painful, try swimming or cycling. Trade a side dish of rice for a fruit or vegetable. 5. Minimize distractions. Do one thing at a time. Turn off the television or radio when you're talking with someone. At a restaurant, try to face the wall so you can more easily focus on the conversation at your table.
JJ
Circle the three things that are most difficult for you to remember: names of people you meet
what day it is
passwords
where you left your keys
where you left your phone
to take lunch to work or school
important dates like birthdays or anniversaries
to take your medicine
where you left your wallet or purse
to take a bath or shower
J. Encourage students to add other things to the list that they often forget. See if the students can come up with ways to not forget these things.

Hills Bank Dress Code
H. Before the task, have students work in pairs/ groups to describe the clothing people are wearing in the pictures.
Hills Bank has a new dress code to encourage more appropriate attire. Because our work environment serves customers, professional business casual attire is mandatory. Business casual attire includes suits, pants, jackets, shirts, skirts and dresses that are appropriate for a business environment. Ties are optional and are still considered appropriate if employees choose to wear them. Examples of other appropriate business attire include a button-down shirt with a collar and dress pants, a jacket with a skirt or dress pants, and a blouse or sweater with a skirt or pants. Sleeveless shirts and dresses are not appropriate unless covered with a sweater or jacket. Low-cut blouses and shirts are also not allowed. Jeans, t-shirts, shirts without collars, and footwear such as flip-flops, sneakers and open-toed shoes are not appropriate for business casual attire.

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 15 Male: Hey, Teri. I’m so glad you and your family are coming over for dinner tomorrow. Is there anything you don’t eat? Teri: Yeah, thanks for asking. We’re staying away from dairy. But we eat everything else. What can we bring tomorrow? Male: We might make pasta, I’ll leave off the cheese.
Could you bring a salad? Teri: Sure. That sounds great. And maybe we can take a dessert too. Male: Perfect! See you tomorrow at six? Teri: Yeah, We’ll be there. It’ll be so nice to finally get together again. Our kids had a blast last time.
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 answer, OR answer did not make sense for question GRADING & SCORING After grading, write the correct number out of 100 at the top of each student’s Progress Check. Be sure to review any incorrect responses. NOTE: As long as an answer is grammatically correct (whether it uses the structure taught in this level or not), students should be given full credit. SCORING 21 Total points 1st page 29 Total points 2nd page x2 100 Total points possible
Note: When grading, do not count examples as correct. Skip them. At bottom of each Progress Check page is a point scale. Write the number of correct answers for each page (e.g., 20 / 21 points) Multiply number of correct answers by 2 for final score out of 100

Infinitive = to + verb to walk Base form = verb in the most basic form walk Gerund= verb + ing. The gerund always works as a noun. Walking is quicker than driving. Past Participle = verb + ed (regular verbs). Irregular forms vary. Used to form the present perfect tense. He has worked for 3 years. I have gone there many times. 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 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. 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. Simple Past Base form + -ed I walked yesterday. We use the simple past to talk about completed actions in the past.
112
Teacher Book 4 RIGHT
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 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 talk about (planned) actions in the future. 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. Present Perfect have/has + past participle He has left for work already. I have called her twice. We use the present perfect for actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past. We can also use it for actions that began in the past and still continue or are repeated.

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 towards 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, effective teaching strategies and what works for your students, yourself, 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!

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 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 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-Up 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 dialogs 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 min on it. ● Optional: For multisyllable words, 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 variey of activities each class, such as Charades, Pictionary, Memory Games, etc. See the Engagement and Easy Expansions section 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.

Teacher Book 4 RIGHT
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 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; 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 which 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), 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 overexplain 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 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.

Teacher Book 4 RIGHT
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 - oftentimes 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 which 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 ashamed. 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 go 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!

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 dialog on the board. Then have your students discuss the topic with a partner or in small groups. Provide additional examples and vocabulary if students get stuck by brainstorming as a group, and writing them 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-onone, 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 as an expansion. See the Engagement and Easy Expansions section 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. m to ask questions if they have difficulties. Practicing English even for 15 minutes per day will make a big difference.

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 ___.

Teacher Book 4 RIGHT
Tips for Checking Answers 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 him that you will come back to him, and give him 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 in 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 he/she has 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 vocab and grammar activities in Confidence and ConnectionsTM are controlled. 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 …??”
● 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 repeats the full, correct sentence, not just the word that you corrected. 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 go around the room listening to students, jot down mistakes you hear. Following the activity, discuss the
problem areas without pointing out who made which mistake. ● Write the sentence with the mistake, and then talk about the correction or 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 which clearly impede the communication or have already been covered in class. 4. When you check a writing tAsk follow the same framework as in #s 1 and 2 above. If the exercise is intended to be fluency (i.e., write about a certain topic), try to limit corrections and, instead, focus on making general comments or asking questions about 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, 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. Their sections may include: notes, vocabulary, journal, questions. ● For students who don’t like to make mistakes in their student book, have them practice first in their notebook, then transfer the information to their student book. Dictionary ● Choose wisely and consider a “learner’s dictionary” which provides level-appropriate definitions. Teach students how to use it! Other items ● Photographs, pictures of a variety of people or objects from magazines, grocery store ads, to-go menus, sticky notes (in a variety of colors), dice for Questions, Questions, Questions and board games, a box of objects relevant to the lesson topic, a small ball for Ball Toss, baggies, rubber bands, paper clips for Bingo markers and board game pieces, scissors, scrap paper, blank game boards, puppets, pennies (great for counting games), glue sticks, play money, fly swatters for Fly Swatter Game.

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, 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, of verbs tense changes based on pronouns.

Conversation Rotation or 1-on-1 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, only moving 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 correspondes with 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. Dialog / Role Play (Speaking, Grammar) Turn a listening exercise, or grammar activity based on a dialog, 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 review 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. 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 $18.00 ISBN 978-1-947639-34-8
