General Introduction

What is BurlingtonEnglish? BurlingtonEnglish is a unique program that uses a blended approach to learning English by combining BurlingtonEnglish Online Interactive Study with Face-to-Face Lessons. Students acquire essential language skills through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Target Group: Adults and young adults

BurlingtonEnglish offers a Core Program for general English and a broad range of Career Extensions BurlingtonEnglish and Advanced Extensions. BurlingtonEnglish Core Program courses are structured, taking students from beginner to intermediate BurlingtonEnglish level. They engage students in conversations about everyday topics while developing and enhancing their language skills. BurlingtonEnglish Career Extensions and Advanced Extensions can be used by people in training for BurlingtonEnglish specific professions, people currently working professionally in those fields, or by those interested in exploring the world of a specific profession. These courses can be used as stand-alone training or as an integrated part of a larger professional training course.

The BurlingtonEnglish Blend The Burlington BurlingtonEnglish English Blend uses both online and face-to-face delivery modes, so that different aspects of language can be presented, practiced and produced in the ways most facilitative to learning. The Online Interactive Study is designed to be used independently and is geared to the highest level of individualization, both in pace and level. Students are provided with individual learning activities, including scenes and slideshows, listen and record activities, interactive dialogues, word games, dictionary activities, check yourself, and progress reports. Ample listening texts and speaking practice are embedded in the online lessons, and immediate feedback and answer-judging are provided for activities. Students can repeat activities as often as desired, helping them to reach automaticity in their use of language. The BurlingtonE BurlingtonEnglish nglish SpeechTrainer® provides individual training, which includes error assessment, articulation training, minimal pairs differentiation, sound discrimination, and progress assessment. Make sure that your students are aware of the online help that is available to them, in the form of HelpSpots and translations. The Face-to-Face Lessons provide students with opportunities to do things that can better be done when facilitated by the teacher, who can provide explanation and elucidation. In addition, students can practice true speaking in a natural environment, enabling them to negotiate meaning successfully. Teachers are provided with outlines of teaching tips for face-to-face activities, including pair work, role-play, guided writing, grammar worksheets, vocabulary games, dictations and tests. Teachers can select the ideas that are most suitable for their classes, depending on the level, size and interest of the group. The activities can be used as an introduction, reinforcement, or review of the language taught in the online modules.

General Introduction

The way you blend the two parts – the Online Interactive Study and the Face-to-Face Lessons – depends on how often you meet with your students and the number of students in your class, as well as their age, background, and level of proficiency. Face-to-Face Lessons should include the following: 1. A warm-up activity, which practices the vocabulary presented in the Situations or Module covered. This will give the teacher the opportunity to correct any pronunciation or comprehension problems. The activities can be used for presentation, practice, review or summary of the target language. 2. A review of questions or problems the students encountered in their online sessions. These may include questions about grammar. For the Extensions, look at the grammar links suggested for the Module in each Overview. For the Core Program courses, refer to the Teacher’s Notes for the grammar points in question. 3. Activities from the Teacher’s Teacher’s Notes to activate the class. The teacher can choose from any of the available activities. 4. An introduction to the next part of the program. We hope you find the Teacher’s Material helpful, and have a successful experience teaching English with BurlingtonEnglish Burlingto nEnglish.

Ideas for Face-to-Face Activities

INTRODUCTION

Teachers often look for activities they can do in class to reinforce the language that their students encounter in their online courses. The activities below can be used with any of the Core Program courses or Extensions, and provide tools to enrich the Burlington Blend. WORDS

It is important for students to practice vocabulary in different contexts in order to remember it. The activities below relate to the Words and More Words tabs. 1. Creating Definitions

Students define words or phrases from the Wordlist by forming sentences.

Steps: 1. Choose 5-10 items from the Wordlist. 2. Write the items on the board, or provide them orally. In multi-level classes, students can choose words from their level-specific Wordlists, and do the activity in pairs or groups. 3. For each item, students write or say a sentence that defines it.

2. Making Connections

Students form sentences which include specific pairs of words or phrases from the Wordlist. Steps: 1. Choose 10-20 items from the Wordlist and put them into pairs. There doesn’t have to be an obvious connection between the items within each pair. In multi-level classes, have students choose and pair words from their level-specific Wordlists, and do the activity in pairs or groups. 2. Write the pairs of words on the board, or provide them orally. 3. For each pair, students write or say a sentence that includes both items. 3. Hangman

Students find out which words or phrases were chosen and spell them. Steps: 1. Choose 5-10 items from the Wordlist. In multi-level classes, students can play this game in pairs or groups, using level-specific vocabulary. 2. For each item, draw a line for each letter on the board so students know the number of letters needed to spell it. For example, _ _ _ _ _ _ 3. Draw the following on the board:

Page 3 of 147


4. Students guess the letters. If a correct letter is given, write it on its line. If an incorrect letter is given, write it on the side and add another part to the drawing. 5. Students must find out what the item is, and spell it correctly, before the drawing is completed.

4. Ten Questions

Students discover which words or phrases were chosen by asking questions. Steps: 1. Choose 5-10 items from the Wordlist. Don’t let students know what you’ve chosen. In multilevel classes, students can choose from their level-specific Wordlists, and do the activity in pairs or groups. 2. For each item, students try to find clues to the word by asking no more than ten questions about it. You can answer using only Yes, No or Maybe. For example, imagine you’ve chosen the word “shoe”. Students can ask questions such as Can you wear it? (Yes); Do you wear it on your head? ( No); Do you wear it in the summer? ( Maybe); etc. 3. Give points according to the number of questions it took to find out the answer. The aim is to have as few points as possible. 5. Gapped Sentences

Students complete sentences with words or phrases from the Wordlist.

Steps: 1. Choose 5-10 items from the Wordlist. Create sentences with each item. Alternatively, sentences from the online course can be used. 2. Write the sentences on the board, or provide them orally. In each case, omit the chosen items. 3. Students complete the sentences in writing or orally.

6. Which Is It?

Students receive definitions and match them to words or phrases from the Wordlist.

Steps: 1. Write 5-10 items from the Wordlist on the board. 2. Write a definition for each item on the board, or provide them orally, but jumble the order. (Definitions can be found in online dictionaries.) 3. Students suggest an item from the Wordlist to match each definition.

Page 4 of 147


DIALOGUES

The dialogues presented online can be used as a springboard for face-to-face activities. The activities below relate to the Dialogues tab. 1. Role-play

Students act out a dialogue as given or change some of the information within it.

Steps: 1. Choose a dialogue from the Student Zone, and project it to the class using a digital projector. 2. Students choose roles and practice the dialogue in pairs. They can use the dialogue as given, or they can change some of the information within it, creating variety or personalization. 3. Students act out their dialogues in front of the class.

2. Expanding a Dialogue

Students expand a dialogue and act it out.

Steps: 1. Choose a dialogue from the Student Zone, and project it to the class using a digital projector. 2. Students expand the dialogue. They can add another exchange, either within the dialogue or at the end of it. 3. Students act out their dialogue in front of the class.

3. Practicing Wh- Questions

Students practice asking and answering Wh- questions to deepen their understanding of the dialogues.

Steps: 1. Choose a dialogue from the Student Zone, and project it to the class using a digital projector. 2. Students jot down as many Wh- questions as they can about the text in five minutes. (One or two examples may be provided.) 3. Students work in pairs and alternate, asking and answering each other’s questions orally. Each student keeps track of how many questions his / her partner got right. 4. Students exchange question pages, and correct each other’s mistakes.

Page 5 of 147


READING

It is motivating for students, whether they’re doing the same course or working at different levels, to discuss and relate to texts that they’ve read and hear other students’ opinions and views. The activities below relate to Reading or Scene tabs. 1. Sharing an Interesting Point

Students share something that they read about in their Reading or Scene texts.

Steps: 1. Choose a reading text, and project it to the class using a digital projector. 2. Students scan the text and share an interesting point that they learned from it, or alternatively, an additional piece of information about the topic.

2. Expanding on a Text

Students add something to a text.

Steps: 1. Choose a reading text, and project it to the class using a digital projector. 2. Students scan the text, and jot down several sentences to add to it, continuing the text beyond its ending. Alternatively, have them change the ending of the text. 3. Students may want to change the title of the text, based on what they add to it. 4. Students then share their additions and revised titles with the class.

3. Personalizing a Text

Students discuss a text and explain how it relates to them.

Steps: 1. Describe a situation that is presented in the text. 2. Ask students if they’ve ever been in a similar situation, and if so, how they reacted. 3. Elicit responses and summarize them on the board. Allow other students to ask questions. 4. This activity can be done in small groups of three or four students. Have a spokesperson from each pair or group report on the experiences that were discussed.

A few years ago, I worked in a restaurant with other young people. This was my first job, and it wasn’t easy. We cleaned the tables and washed the dishes. We didn’t cook any food. The chef cooked the food and the baker baked the bread. I didn’t enjoy the job because it was hard work. My brother liked his first job. He didn’t work in a restaurant. He worked in a zoo. He enjoyed working with animals and playing with them. Once, he even saved an animal’s life! My parents worked in the city several years ago. They didn’t arrive home until late, so they didn’t cook dinner. My brother and I cooked dinner together and chatted. Then we studied for a few hours.

Penny was very good at sports. She swam on the swimming team in high school. She also ran on the athletics team. She competed in every competition and began winning medals. She usually won a gold medal, but sometimes she won a silver. She simply didn’t know how to lose! Her picture was often in the local newspaper. Penny really enjoyed the competitions, but she didn’t like traveling to other schools to compete. One day, she and her teammates went to North High to compete against the team there. Everyone expected Penny to win a medal in the 100-meter race. Unfortunately, during the race, Penny’s foot went straight into a small hole and she fell. She got up, but her foot hurt a lot.
