The four-leveled course, which includes a textbook and two audio CDs, helps students develop their skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing at an elementary level of proficiency through engaging activities that help them understand how to use the language effectively in real life contexts. Students will build confidence as they progress through this course and perform confidently on the revised Cambridge English: Advanced Level (CEL) Primary Examiner paper 3 exam. The Audio CD covers a total of 16 lessons and provides interactive listening, which is a significant feature of the Cambridge English: Empower Series. This course also features an integrated writing component so teachers can target writing skills as well as listening, speaking and reading at the same time, ensuring that all four skills are developed throughout the course. The course includes key vocabulary features for each target language level, with practice exercises at each level. Integrated Vocabulary Vocabulary is one of the most important components of any proficiency-based teaching programme. The integrated vocabulary in this course provides students with extensive exposure to grammatical structures throughout each lesson. This course includes vocabulary at all levels, with exercises at each level to support the teaching of new words. Students also learn everyday vocabulary relevant to their personal and social lives. Interactive Listening The audio CD contains 16 lessons, which are designed to provide a systematic approach to teaching a variety of listening skills in a natural way. Each lesson focuses on a particular language-related skill, in order to consolidate the learning experience and make learning more comprehensive and meaningful. The CD features a wide range of vocabulary items in all four target languages with real-life contexts where appropriate. In addition, there are many opportunity for students'attention to focus on accuracy rather than repetition. Dynamic Grammar The course includes a variety of exercises to cover four different language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Each skill is progressively built upon throughout the lessons with the next one taught at the level just below that of the previous one. This ensures that students can relate what they have learned in each lesson to what they will be learning in the next one and helps them appreciate where new skills fit into their overall learning progress. The development of these four skills is supported by a wide range of activities for students to do, such as role-play and image making. These activities give students an opportunity to apply their newly learned grammar structures in real-life contexts and evaluate whether their understanding has been correct or incorrect. Integrated Writing The integrated writing component of this course provides students with an opportunity to apply their vocabulary and grammar skills in a meaningful and purposeful way. The course is designed for lessons that cover a variety of contexts for writing at different levels so students can learn the language they need to express themselves confidently and effectively in a wide range of situations. All writing activities include comprehensive teacher's notes, which include suggestions for students' responses as well as extra practice. Rationale: This course helps students develop their skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing at an elementary level of proficiency through engaging activities that help them understand how to use the language effectively in real life contexts. 8eeb4e9f32 23
