INTRODUCTION

The Purpose and Format of This Book This book has been written as an aid for students working with our publication, ECCE Exam Practice. It covers words, phrases and expressions occurring in parts one and two of the Listening Section and the GVR section of all six examinations. Each unit also includes consolidation activities covering the more challenging grammar and vocabulary problems of the ECCE. How to Use This Book The lists in each unit can be used either to pre-teach or post-teach the vocabulary encountered in the examinations. Students should be allowed to work on each list in pairs or in groups. The teacher should get students to come up with explanations for some of the words and phrases in English in order to generate more language. Another worthwhile activity will be to have students create their own dialogues using phrases and expressions that are focused on from part one of the Listening Section. Grammar and Vocabulary Review Each unit focuses on two types of grammar problems and two types of vocabulary problems based on how language is tested on the ECCE. Each review begins with highlighted items (e.g. dialogues, sentences) taken directly from the corresponding sub-sections in the Student's Book. The selections have been made based on the grammar and vocabulary problems students have when sitting for the ECCE. The teacher should have students study the language highlights and discuss them in class. The teacher can also have students look for other items similar to those being focused on. Especially for the grammar items, the teacher can have students reproduce their own dialogues similar to those being studied. After students have completed their review work, the teacher should have them complete the activities. These activities can be done as homework, but they can also be done in class. If the teacher decides to complete them in class, she should allow students to work in pairs or in small groups. Some Closing Words for Students The glossary has been prepared to help you, but this doesn't mean that all your vocabulary problems have been solved! You should try doing the following things with the words in the glossary: • Trytowriteoutexplanationsordenitions in English based on how the words, phrases and expressions are used. Try doing this at rstwithoutadictionary.



•

Think of your own examples for the words and phrases listed.

•

Try to use some of the expressions from part one of the Listening Section in your own dialogues.

•

If you encounter other words in the examinations that have not been listed in the glossary,trytogureoutwhattheymeanfrom the context. Don't immediately look for a Greek translation.

•

When doing an extended listening activity or a reading comprehension activity don't worry if you have a few unknown words. You can still understand a passage enough to complete the comprehension activities even if you do not understand all the words. Always focus on what you understand and you will be able to answer the questions.

•

Use dictionaries on the Internet, like www.onelook.com. They are free and practical. Listen to the pronunciation of the words and repeat them.

It is a good idea to start making your own glossary where you write out any new words that you have learned. You should write the sentence where you rstreadorheardthewordalongwithanexplanation in Greek or English. If you have a computer, this will be a lot easier since you will even be able to keep your words and phrases in alphabetical order. In this way,youwillndthatyouwillmoreeasilylearnand remember new words, phrases and expressions. Don't forget, the more you use these words, the more easily you will remember them. In addition, the more words you learn the easier it will be for you to learn even more words. Onenalbitofadviceinvolvesreading.Youshould try to read as much as you can, even in your own language. When you improve your knowledge of your own language, especially through reading, you will improve your ability to learn a foreign language. You should always remember that your main goal is to learn the language. If you focus on learning the language, then you will denitely succeed on the ECCE and any other language exam.
