DAY 1 DAY 2
BOOK SERIES TESTS
HOW TO ADEQUATELY IDENTIFY A STUDENT´S LEVEL PACING
SAMPLE UNIT OVERVIEW RESOURCES AND Q&A
Here at YouDynamic, we work with the World English book series which is an ideal fit for the school´s methodology, Each
book deals with a wide variety of topics from daily life to nature.
Their level of difficulty varies according to the number in increasing form, however, this also generates more possibilities for
conversation, story-telling, and opinion-based discussions.
- Portuguese should be only used at the beginning of the book as the student progresses more and more English
should be spoken and encouraged.
- English should be the primary language used and Portuguese should be used only to clarify any doubts.
We´ll take a look at a Sample Unit from one of the books and discuss what the relevant aspects are considered when
preparing a class.

Part 2 – Pacing
World English
Sample Pacing Guide
Pacing Guides – 90 min / 60 min
Pacing and Implementation
Classroom material for World English is designed to be flexible for a wide range of class configurations. Here you will find a
suggested structure for 90 and 60-minute classes. This is a pacing guide rather than a set of detailed lesson plans. Instructors
should feel free to deviate from the suggestions and adapt the guide however they see fit to accommodate the needs of their
classes.
The sample pacing guide below is for Level 1, Unit 7. Units in World English follow the same basic structure, but the number of
activities can vary slightly from unit to unit. This sample is designed to demonstrate how you can structure the completion of a
unit in two different time structures.
90-minute classes
Class Activities Time
1 Warm up by discussing the unit opener image using the question prompts. 10 minutes
2 Review work from last class / clarify confusion / discuss homework 15 minutes
3 Review work from last class / clarify confusion / discuss homework 10 minutes
Review and clarify understanding of unit vocabulary and grammar points. 5 minutes
1 Warm up by discussing the unit opener image using the question prompts. 10 minutes
2 Review work from last class / clarify confusion / discuss homework 10 minutes
3 Review work from last class / clarify confusion / discuss homework 10 minutes
4 Review work from last class / clarify confusion / discuss homework 5 minutes
A timer can be used to time each activity to ensure pacing fits the guidelines but, as stated above, this pacing guide is a
suggestion rather than a strict schedule. World English Third Edition is designed to be adaptable for the convenience of both
educators and students.
You can find all the resources from the World English series on the Companion website. Here are some of the most useful ones.
You can also browse through all the book and workbook resources and you can download them to your devices.
In the Student´s Book, you have several exercises which require audio to be played and they can easily be identified by the
audio symbol next to the exercise and a number.
On the following website, you will be able to find the audios for these exercises as well as the audios for the reading exercises.
Observation: On the left, you can find the audio for the workbook exercises, and on the right the audio from the student´s
book.
I also encourage you to bring your resources to class as they can enrich the quality of the class and avoid getting repetitive. You
are given certain freedom as a YouDynamic teacher to engage in sharing experiences with your students and provide a real
connection with an English teacher.
