Descriere
DESCRIERE
Curs general pentru invatarea limbii engleze, nivel gimnazial, clasa a VII-a, este structurat in 4 module, fiecare incluzand 6 unitati de invatare, iar ultimul modul 4 unitati. Fiecare modul dezvolta o anumita tema, cu ilustratii atractive si un mod de abordare comunicativ pentru a motiva invatarea eficienta. Manualul dezvolta cele patru abilitati: vorbire, citire, scriere, ascultare, prin intermediul unor activitati interactive, redarea unor dialoguri si situatii din viata reala, teorie si exemple din gramatica limbii engleze, texte din surse contemporane insotite de exercitii ce incurajeaza discutii pe teme variate, sectiuni de pronuntie etc. Fiecare unitate se incheie cu un proiect ce consta intr-o activitate de scriere ce recapituleaza lexicul si elementele de gramatica din unitatea respectiva si o sectiune cu proverbe ce indeamna la dezbatere, iar fiecare modul se incheie cu o sectiune de recapitulare si autoevaluare. Interesul pentru invatarea limbii engleze este starnit si sustinut si prin intermediul sectiunii de imagini ce stimuleaza vorbirea, a celei de cultura generala din universul anglofon si a ghidului ce contine diferente lexicale intre limba engleza britanica si cea americana de la sfarsitul cursului. Include, in fiecare modul, povestiri interesante, benzi desenate si jocuri al caror rol este de a incuraja si motiva in procesul de invatare a limbii engleze, precum si o lista de cuvinte noi si verbe neregulate. Acest manual constituie o versiune alternativa la manualul Enterprise 3, insa ofera material suplimentar: module crosscurriculare si sectiuni ce cuprind fragmente de literatura cu activitati pe text. Manualul este conceput conform principiilor Cadrului European de Referinta, nivelul B1+, si este aprobat de Ministerul Educatiei si Tineretului
Introduction
Enterprise Plus Pre-Intermediate is a complete course for students studying English at pre-intermediate level. It provides students with the necessary skills to successfully communicate in both the oral and written forms of the language.
The course consists of four modules of twenty-two units in total. Each module ensures coverage of a core of useful lang uage related to topics of general interest with which the students need to be familiar. The units follow the same basic structure, outlined below.
• Lead-in: exercise(s) drawing on the students' knowledge of the given topic. The lead-in section ends with a listening activity, requiring students to listen to the reading text and complete a task, such as filling in missing information, underlining the correct item, multiple matching, True/False statements, etc. This listening activity prepares students to deal with the reading text which follows. Having encountered the main idea of the text, students are better equipped to focus on the reading task.
• Reading: cross-cultural texts, allowing students to develop skills such as reading for gist, reading for specific information, understanding vocabulary from context and summarising text in their own words.
• Vocabulary Practice: exercises which focus on exploiting the vocabulary introduced in the reading text through various types of exercises such as “word attack” (in which students deduce the meaning of words from context), gap-filling, collocations which help students remember vocabulary items as parts of set expressions, and sets of commonly confused words. Text-related idioms, phrasal verbs and prepositions are also included.
• Follow-up: exercises which focus on encouraging students to extract and reproduce relevant information from the text through discussion as well as mastering the vocabulary covered in the Vocabulary Practice section.
• Language Development: exercises which present vocabulary linked to the topic and extend students' vocabulary at the appropriate level.
• Listening and Speaking: exercises which focus on communication. Students are given the opportunity to develop competence in their listening and speaking skills through various exercises and activities.
• Grammar In Use: sections which present grammar structures in a clear, easily understood way. These sections are used with the Grammar Reference section (found at the back of the book), allowing students to reinforce and expand their knowledge of grammar through a variety of useful exercises
• Pronunciation activities which help students gain confidence in recognising sounds and pronouncing them correctly. All pronunciation exercises are recorded on tapes which accompany the coursebook.
• Writing: exercises which introduce the most important aspects of composition writing in an easy-to-follow way. All writing exercises (either essays or projects) are guided so that students will not feel frustrated. Notes on successful writing, plans and model compositions help students understand each type of writing presented.
• Words of Wisdom: sections which familiarise students with famous quotations and proverbs.
• Listening and Speaking sections, after every two units, which consist of listening and speaking activities thematically related to the previous two units. These enable students to revise vocabulary and improve their listening and speaking skills.
• Curricular Cuts: units which contain brief crosscurricular texts aimed at expanding students' understanding of the language.
• Literature Corner sections which acquaint students with English and American literature “classics” and their authors.
• Module Self-Assessment sections which reinforce students' knowledge of the topics, vocabulary and structures presented in the previous exercises and help prepare them for the tests. A self-assessment corner allows students to evaluate their progress and identify their strengths and weaknesses.
• Culture Clips sections which provide an insight into the culture and customs of English-speaking countries..
The course is accompanied by: a) an interleaved Teacher's Book containing all the answers to the exercises in the Student's Book along with useful suggestions for presenting the exercises, b) audio CDs containing all the listening activities (class set, student's set), c) Workbook Student's in which students can revise structures presented in the coursebook, d) Workbook Teacher's which contains all answers to the exercises in the Workbook Student's book overprinted, e) Test Booklet containing four Self-Assessment Tests in two forms as well as seven write-in tests, a Mid-term and an Exit test, which aims to assess students' progress throughout the course.
