The aim of the course is to make English enjoyable and tension-free. It is intended as a practical and natural approach to teaching English to basic learners and emphasizes listening and speaking skils. CNA EXPANSION is based on a sec of principles which underlie its structure and activites. In @ nutshell chese principles are: AA view of language which proposes that language is a means of communication and that co communicate is 10 interpret, express, and negotiate meaning: and that in order to be able to communicate properly in a foreign language, speakers should reach communicative competence (Savignon, 1991). A view of teaching which is organized around che steps of engaging students in the task by providing them with the language items to be worked on, studying that language in @ way that students become familar with it, and activating their knowledge by experimenting with what they have learned (Harmer, 2008). ‘A view of learning which advocates that knowledge is constructed by means of interaction with the other participants in the learning process (ie. students, eacher, materials, context) and therefore that students are co-responsible for their learning (Vygotsky, 1978). A view of culture that not only encourages students to bring to class their cultural background and share it with their classmates, but also promotes the exploration and discovery of other culeural contexts. ‘A view of social responsibility which is coherent with the educational belief that a language course should go beyond teaching the foreign language only and that the teaching/learning process is also a means to offer students a chance to reflect and act on their role as citizens oftheir communities and the world. A view of the teacher's role which is based on the belief that teachers play a key role in the success of the teaching/learning process and therefore they should take it into their hands to make informed decisions concerning the best way to make use of the material and other resources available. ciassiessons | 3 @( Student's Learning Pack Class Lessons Audio Files (online Information Gap Activities Grammar Tips Web Lessons CNANET Class Less The Class Lessons are made up of eight lessons uihich manly focus on the development of speaking listening, and reading skill, supported by activities that specifically focus on linguistic input (grammar vocabulary, functions, and pronunciation).

Before students stare interacting, your jobs to set the scene so that they understand the language to be practiced/used and the contex: of production. During interaction, you are not expected to interfere, unless students require your help or there isa communication breakdown, Listening ‘The purpose ofthe listening comprehension activities is to develop students’ strategies and techniques to deal wich the language in its aural form. It is very important to prepare the students for the different tasks through pre-lstening activities such as exploring visual cues, eliciting information related to the topic to be listened to, and making predictions. These will activate cheir previous knowledge and will help them better perform the «ask. leis aso important ro remind students that the objective of the activities isnot to understand each and ‘every word, but rather to listen for the information necessary to do the task Reading The approach to the teaching of reading is similar to that used for the teaching of listening, That i, the main goal of these activities is co develop students’ strategies and techniques to deal with the written language. Pre- reading activities such as exploring visual cues and making predictions ae crucial to ease the students’ way into the text. Bear in mind that the objective of the reading comprehension activities is not to understand each and every word, but rather to find the information necessary co do the tasks that follow the reading passage. Waiting ‘The focus ofthe writing activities is to develop students’ ablities ro produce texts which they ae likely to ‘eed in real if. A process-oriented approach which aims at valuing not only students’ final product but also reflecting on the process of production of the texts is used Vocabulary The focus of these activities is to expand students’ lexical repertoire. Activities in this section lead students to use the words in context so that they serve as tools for the speaking listening, and reading activities. From the start, students should be encouraged to take rsks to develop techniques such as guessing and inferring to deal with the new words Language Awareness ‘These activities are primarily meant to guide students to realize how the target language works Students are stimulated to build hypotheses on how the language works and then experiment with them. As a result, the activities are not only meant to develop students’ understanding of the way the language works, but also to increase their critical and autonomous thinking skil. ) 6 | cunexpansion2 COOCOCCOCOOCOCOOCEOCOCOOCECOOOOCOCOCOEECECOCOOOCOOCE Pronunciation ‘The main goal of these activities is to develop students’ awareness of English sounds and intonation patterns, ‘Therefore, students will be exposed to the phonetical and phonological aspect of the language which are seen ‘as more challenging. The assumption is that, by working on them, students’ speech will become more natural Game Games provide students with natural opportunities for using language for real purposes as well as for enjoyment. Your job during these activites is to guarantee that students understand the rules of the game and the language to be practiced/used. You should also keep control ofthe situation, especially if it involves groups or teamwork Information Gap Activities “These activities have been specially written to provide students with authentic opportunities to communicate. ‘As the name says the activities require chat students interact so that information can be exchanged and the “missing gaps" can be filled. Careful instructions on how to perform these actwities should be given so that the information gap element is not ruined ~ often the activities require that one student should not see his or her partners card ~ and students understand what conversation isto be carried out, Therefore, some language elicitation and modeling may be required, Iti also highly advisable chat you spend a few minutes when the activity is over talking to students about what they found dificult as well as finding out ifanyone wanted to say something but did nox have the necessary language t0 do so. This may also be a good moment to go through mistakes students may have made and carry out remedial work Feedback Time “The focus ofthe Feedback Time is to give students the opportunity to recapitulate che contents studied, Stuclents should be encouraged to go through the unit and produce samples of the material scudied and carry ‘out some self-evaluation of their progress. Tiss an important moment co discuss with the whole group what ‘can be done to develop their command of the content studied and the tools available to do that. What else could you say? “The What else could you say? boxes offer students different language components to express the same ‘communicative functions. Students thus expand and diversify their communicative repertoire, I is important to show students that they can say the same thing in different ways. However, you should use your discretion as to decide how far to explore and demand the use of such language. For example, if you see that your students already know and can use the target language in the activity, you may decide to explore the ones in the corresponding What else could you say? box. These boxes are useful roo when there’ a litle extra time and you think students would benefit from further practice.
