2 | CNA ESSENTIALS 2
Introdu
ction
CNA ESSENTIALS is a two-level English course for basic learners. 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 the listening and speaking skills.

CNA ESSENTIALS is based on a set of principles which underlie its structure and activities. In a nutshell, these
principles are:

A view of language which proposes that language is a means of communication and that to communicate is
to 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 the steps of engaging students in the task by providing them
with the language items to be worked on, studying that language in a way that students become familiar 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 (i.e. students, teacher, 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 cultural 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 of their 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.

Class Lessons
The Class Lessons are made up of eight lessons
which mainly focus on the development of speaking,
listening, and reading skills, supported by activities
that specifically focus on linguistic input (grammar,
vocabulary, functions, and pronunciation). The book
starts with a special unit – the Starter Unit – which
will provide students with useful language to be used
throughout the course. Units 4 and 8 are dedicated
to review material studied in the previous units.

Audio Files
The Audio Files for the listening comprehension
activities in the Class Lessons are available on CNA
NET and can be downloaded for further practice.
The Audio Script can be found at the back of the
Teacher’s Pack.

Activity Book
The Activity Book offers students stimulating and
varied practice of the material studied in class.

Grammar Tips
Each unit has a set of grammar tips with more
detailed explanations of the grammar items studied
in the unit. Activities and their answer keys are also
available for those students who want extra practice.

Teacher's Pack
The Teacher’s Pack contains detailed suggestions
on how to teach the course, answer keys to the
class lessons activities, transcripts of the listening
comprehension activities, and reduced pages of the
Class Lessons.

Further Practice
These are activities are meant to provide more
practice of the content taught in the units and
should be worked with if time is available.

Resource Pack
Flashcards, cue cards, and supplementary materials
are available in the Resource Pack. These materials
are meant to add diversity to and enrich the lessons.

Web Lessons
The Web Lessons are online activities which provide
students with further practice of the contents
studied in class.

r u c t u r e
S t CNA ESSENTIALS 2 is organized in thematic
units consisting of activities which have specific characteristics
and goals coherent with the broad objectives of the unit and the material.

Speaking
These activities aim at providing students with opportunities to practice the new language items in context.
The activities encompass both more controlled and freer practice. Before students start interacting, your
job is to set the scene so that they understand the language to be practiced/used and the context of
production. During interaction, you are not expected to interfere, unless students require your help or
there is a communication breakdown.

Listening
The purpose of the listening comprehension activities is to develop students’ strategies and techniques to deal
with the language in its aural form. It is very important to prepare the students for the different tasks through
pre-listening activities such as exploring visual cues, eliciting information related to the topic to be listened to,
and making predictions. These will activate their previous knowledge and will help them better perform the
task. It is also important to remind students that the objective of the activities is not 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 is, the main
goal of these activities is to develop students’ strategies and techniques to deal with the written language. Pre-
reading activities such as exploring visual cues and making predictions are 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 to do the tasks that follow the reading passage.

Writing
The focus of the writing activities is to develop students’ abilities to produce texts which they are likely to need
in real life. A processed-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 risks 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 realizing 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 skills.

6 | CNA ESSENTIALS 2
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 aspects 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 activities is to guarantee that students understand the rules of the game and
the language to be practiced/used. You should also keep control of the 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 that students interact so that information can be exchanged and the
“missing gaps” can be filled. Careful instructions on how to perform these activities 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 partner’s card – and students understand what conversation is to be carried out. Therefore, some language
elicitation and modeling may be required. It is also highly advisable that you spend a few minutes when the
activity is over talking to students about what they found difficult as well as finding out if anyone wanted to say
something but did not have the necessary language to 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 of the Feedback Time is to give students the opportunity to recapitulate the contents studied.
Students should be encouraged to go through the unit and produce samples of the material studied and carry
out a self-evaluation of their progress. This is an important moment to 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. It 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 too when there’s a little extra time and
you think students would benefit from further practice.

Did you know...?


The Did you know…? boxes occur in different parts of the material with the aim of broadening students’
knowledge of the language or their English-speaking world. These boxes provide them with information related
to the theme of the units. It is important that you go through the information in them with students and give
more examples if necessary.

Young people are often viewed as idealists. But a new survey shows that the youngest generation is as
pragmatic as their parents when it comes to job security, ranking that as more important than becoming
rich or having a prestigious job.
That is in contrast to Boomers and Generation Xers when they were in their 20s, according to a study
released Wednesday by the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Polling 1,700 adults, the survey also shows that millennials – those aged 21 to 32 years old – also place
a high importance on “work/life balance”, ranking it as the most important thing they look for in a job.
Workers of all ages rank the five things below as the most “essential” or “very important” components of
their work lives:
• good work/life balance • positive work environment
• good compensation • interesting work
• job security
Other key findings from the report include: “doing good” is important. Sixty-five percent of university
students expect to make some positive social or environmental difference through their work. “Having a
job where they can make an impact” is something that the vast majority of college students want from
their work, with 70% ranking it as “very important”. Of those, 31% said it was essential.

Adapted from http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/24/gen-y-wants-balance-more-than-an-interesting-job-or-wealth-s/

1. Where is this text probably taken from?


A website. A book. An e-mail.
2. People of what age group were part of the survey?
People of all ages. 21 to 32 years old. People over 30 years old.
3. People of what age group think balancing work/life is very important?
People of all ages. 21 to 32 years old. People over 30 years old.
4. What percentage of college students think it is essential to have a job that can make an impact?
31% 70% 65%
5. Which item below isn’t considered an important component of people’s work lives according to the
survey?
Becoming rich and having a prestigious job.
A nice work environment.
A good salary.

TIPS FOR A HEA LTH Y LIFE STY LE


1. Most of us don’t drink enough water every day. Water is essential for our body
to function. Do you know that over 60% of our body is made up of water?
The amount of water we need every day depends on various factors, but
generally we need 2.7 to 3.7 liters of water intake or about 8 to 10 glasses.
2. When you don’t sleep well, you compensate by eating more. Usually
it’s junk food. Get enough rest and you won’t need to snack to stay
awake. Also, not enough sleep causes premature aging and you
don’t want that.
3. Not just a few times a week, but every day. Movement
is life. Research shows that exercising daily brings
tremendous benefits to our health. Choose
walking for close distances. Climb the stairs
instead of taking the elevator. Join some
aerobics classes.
4. Fruits have lots of vitamins and minerals.
Consuming synthetic supplements is
not the same as consuming the foods
directly from nature. Fill your plate
with these 10 most nutritious fruits:
watermelon, apricots, avocados, apples,
cantaloupes, grapefruits, kiwis, guavas, Get enough sleep.
papayas, and strawberries. Eat more vegetables.
