Introduction for the teacher

The pacing guide of the English, please! Fast Track series

has been designed to provide you with a realistic guide and
timeframe which will enable you to meet your and your
students’ teaching and learning objectives within the class
contact hours available to you, whether you have 5, 4 or 3
45-50 minute-sessions a week.
The following tips may be useful as you use the pacing guide:
• Choose the pacing guide which corresponds to the level,
module and number of sessions you teach per week
(5, 4 or 3).
• Read through the pacing guide.
• Select the activities you want to teach and introduce them
as presented in the pacing guide, taking into account the
amount of time suggested for each activity.
• In sessions where you have 5 or 10 minutes without a
proposed activity, use this time to do a warm up activity,
wrap up a previous lesson, reinforce skills that need to be
developed or carry out assessment activities relevant to
students’ learning process.
• Compare your current progress with the pacing guide as you
go and adjust as necessary to ensure you meet your teaching
and learning objectives.
• Review your course objectives and adjust as necessary.
• Complement the use of the pacing guide with the English,
