REVISE Grammar and vocabulary 138/139

General descriptionActivate B1+ is a course in general English for teenagers. It consolidates and extends the grammar and vocabulary required for B1 level. In addition, theexercise types train students in examination skills since they echo task items found in the PET examination.The reading skills development work includes a wide range of text types, including magazine articles, stories, reports and letters. Listening includes interviews,reports, discussions, radio programmes as well as 12 authentic video clips on the DVD. Students are trained in doing multiple choice comprehension questions,identifying topics, completing cloze tasks, and understanding words from context. Listening tasks include basic comprehension, identifying speakers and

contexts and noticing attitudes.

In speaking, students are trained to ask for and give information, ask for and express opinions giving reasons, discuss topics, undertake surveys, tell stories,describe pictures and objects, maintain extended conversations and produce oral summaries. Students are also trained to write formal and informal letters,reports, stories, reviews and letters of complaint.

CLIL and cross-curricular workThe topic material in the book and on the DVD provides many links across the learning curriculum. There are links to citizenship, arts, science, geography,computer science, media studies, social studies. Topics also approach important behaviour related topics which are important for teenage learners such ashealth, fitness, anger management, a good diet, and respect for rules.This topic work will benefit from the students background knowledge in these areas as well as extending the students knowledge and understanding. Thetraining in both language and academic learning skills inActivate B1+ will be transferable across the curriculum, so, for example, the training in planning writtentasks will generate benefits in many different curriculum areas.
