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.

If pressed for time, teachers should feel free to assign some students’ book tasks for homework or to use them as quick review
activities in the following class. We recommend using the corresponding workbook lessons for homework, but teachers could
also select workbook activities to incorporate into their lessons where suitable.

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.

Part 3 – Resources and Questions

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.

Here´s an example of how to do it:

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.

World English 2 2nd Edition Audio tracks: https://www.cengage.com/cgi-


wadsworth/course_products_wp.pl?fid=M20b&product_isbn_issn=9781305089532

Step 1: Select a book

Step 2: Select a chapter


Step 3: Select an audio type (Student Book, Reading, or Vocabulary)
Step 4: Select a Track

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.
