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.

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.
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.

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.

MY HOUSE
My house is very spacious and comfortable. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It’s an
old house, but the living room is big and the sun shines in every morning. The bedrooms are big,
but we don’t have a lot of room for our computers and video games. My family is big. I have two
sisters and one brother, so I share a room with my brother and my sisters share the other room.
We have a small garden and the garage is big enough for two cars. The neighborhood is very safe
and the public services are very efficient. There is a bus stop across the street from my house and
there are many subway lines. I’m happy living here.
Number of bedrooms 3
Number of bathrooms 2
Number of siblings 3
What else is there in the house? A garden and a garage.
