k o o b is h t e s u o t w o H Discovering English is a three level course which takes students from CEFR A0 to B1 (beginner to intermediate). The emphasis is on skills development: students learn English by using it in lively communicative activities and by interacting with a wide range of written texts and audio recordings. Each level has four components: • a Students’ Book for use in the classroom • a Workbook for use in the classroom and/or for homework • a Teacher’s Book with step-by-step instructions for delivering each lesson • audio recordings available as digital audio files Each level provides a minimum core of approximately 40 hours lesson time. This can be expanded to around 80 hours with additional activities described in the Teacher’s Book, and by using some of the Workbook material in the classroom. A typical lesson features a dialogue or other text which introduces the main language points of the lesson. This is followed by activities which develop students’ understanding of that language, and require them to use it for themselves. The corresponding lesson in the Workbook offers a variety of grammar and vocabulary activities which consolidate the content of the lesson. To prepare for each lesson, the teacher is advised to read the instructions in the Teacher’s Book, and if necessary think of ways to adapt them to suit the needs of the individual class. For example, if the classroom lesson has a long duration, it may be necessary to add an extra game or activity (there are suggestions for this at the end of the Lesson plans). It may be a good idea to bring the Teacher’s Book to the lesson and to glance at it from time to time as a reminder.

Chain drill One student asks a question to another, who then asks another and so on, directed by the teacher. Again, this can be useful for demonstrating activities, but it should not be used as the main way to practise new language.

Pair work Students communicate with each other in pairs. Almost every lesson in Discovering English features at least one pair work activity, as it is usually the most effective way for students to practise new language. Every student speaks for half the duration of the activity, rather than for a few seconds or not at all as in the other interactions described above.

Group work Students communicate with each other in small groups of three or more. This can be useful for some types of communication activity, especially role plays.

Regular characters Many of the lessons feature a regular cast of characters. It is a good idea to learn the names of the characters and the relationships between them at an early stage. The principal characters are:

The Morgan Family Lily and Ben (aged 11) are twins. Their younger sister Sophie is 5. They live with their parents (Mr and Mrs Morgan) in Cambridge, a university city in the south-east of England. They have a dog called Leopold (or Leo) and a cat called Cleopatra (or Cleo).

Ben and Lily’s friends and teachers Ben’s best friend is Jack; Lily’s best friend is Emma. Their teachers are Miss Harris and Mr Patel.

Interactions A typical lesson features the following interactions:

Teacher to whole class This is useful for giving instructions and asking questions to check understanding. It should mainly be used to set up and prepare activities in which students take a more active role.

Choral drill Lead by the teacher, the whole class says a word or sentence together. This can be useful for practising pronunciation, but it should not be used as the main way for students to practise new language.

Teacher to individual student The teacher asks a question to a student, who answers it. This is useful for demonstrating activities before chain drills, pair work and group work (see below). It should not be used as the main way to practise new language.
