What’s up? 2 Teacher’s Guide

Introduction Listening and Speaking

What’s Up? is a four-year English course specifically written for teenage students. The material and design is clear, relevant, up-to-date and motivating. The main aim of What’s Up? is to help students learn English in meaningful, communicative contexts and to provide them with a clear understanding of the language.

The Listening and Speaking section is a two-page spread. There are two short listening texts related to the theme of the unit. One might be a monologue, the other a dialogue; one formal, the other informal. The colourful illustration sets the context for the first listening and introduces some key vocabulary. The comprehension exercises develop students’ confidence and ability to understand the speech of native English speakers from different English-speaking regions and countries. Speaking activities lead on naturally from the listening activities. These activities may be done in pairs, groups or as a whole class, depending on the teacher’s preference. The section always includes an A / B pairwork activity which is located at the back of the Student’s Book.

Student’s Book The Student’s Book contains six units based on stimulating, varied topics. They have ten pages organised into the following sections:

Lead-in page

Writing

This page introduces the theme of the unit through colourful photos and questions related to the theme of the unit. The aim is to stimulate interest in the topic, discuss relevant ideas and revise some basic vocabulary. The page also lists the main objectives of the unit, among which is the task that students will be doing at the end of each unit.

An entire page is devoted to developing writing skills right from starter level. Micro skills, such as punctuation, spelling, organisation, linkers, etc. are developed from the start. Writing tasks are carefully guided and cover a wide range of texts, both formal and informal. A model text is always provided. Writing rule boxes give useful guidelines on how to write each type of text.

Final task

Vocabulary and Reading

At the end of each unit students put together all they have learnt in an achievable task. These tasks have numerous advantages:

This two-page section includes the presentation and practice of the key vocabulary and a reading text linked to the topic of the unit. The Vocabulary section introduces one or two sets of words or phrases. Varied exercises and activities allow students to practise the words through meaningful spoken and written activities. The texts are varied and interesting and cover a wide variety of text types including magazine articles, narratives and personal experiences. Different types of comprehension exercises, vocabulary work and discussion activities help students obtain a full understanding of each text.

• They are a goal in themselves - at the beginning of each unit students learn the main goal of the unit so that they can work towards it. • They elicit the language taught in each unit and revise language from previous units. • They provide an opportunity for students to use English in a meaningful context. • They include models that students can use as a guide. • They allow students to work at their own level of linguistic competence.

Grammar This two-page section provides simple grammatical presentations and practice. The grammar points are clearly presented in boxes and cross-referenced to the Grammar Reference (a section in the Extra Practice book where students can find a more detailed explanation of grammar points). The boxes are followed by written and oral exercises designed to help students practise the forms in a guided way which is personally relevant to them. After practising at sentence level, the target structures are frequently contextualised in dialogues and short narratives. The vocabulary used in the grammar activities recycles language from the Vocabulary and Reading sections of the unit and from previous units.

• They give all students the opportunity to finish each unit with a sense of fulfillment - of having achieved a goal.

Self-assessment The last page of each Student’s Book unit offers students the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learnt and reflect on their progress. This section does not have specific notes for each unit. The following are a few general guidelines as to how to approach it: • Tell students that this section will help them evaluate their progress. Go over the six tasks and the examples with the class. Clarify any doubts and give a few more examples if necessary.

Introduction Workbook

• Encourage students to write five items for each of the tasks and to use different pronouns, verbs, nouns, etc, to add variety to their answers. Circulate as students write to monitor their work.

The Workbook section has the same structure as the Student’s Book and includes further practice of vocabulary, reading, grammar, listening and writing. As with the Student’s Book, the skills and language points are integrated and personalised. Although all the Workbook activities are suitable for self-study, many of them can be used for extra material in the class. The Workbook units consist of the following pages:

• Have students rate their work according to how well they think they did. Tell them they can write from 1 to 5 ticks on the scale below each task. Circulate to help students rate their work. • Then have students rate their overall work by adding up the total number of ticks they got and writing them on the scale at the bottom of the page.

Page 1 and 2: Vocabulary and Reading Page 3 and 4: Grammar and Listening

• Call on six students to come to the board. Each student writes on the board his/her answers to one of the tasks. Discuss the answers with the class, make any necessary corrections and clarify any doubts.

Page 5: Writing Page 6: Self-check The Workbook section also features a listening comprehension section that gives students a new opportunity to practise their listening skills. All students have their own copy of the Workbook audio CD in their books, so teachers can assign these listening exercises as homework for correction in the classroom. You will find the audioscript and the answer key to these exercises at the back of this Guide (page 74).

• Have students reflect on how much they have learnt. Students who didn’t do as well as expected reflect on how they can improve. Tell them to decide what they need to revise or practise more. Ask them to flick through the Student’s Book, Workbook and Extra Practice book pages to find sections / activities that can help them reinforce the areas they are weaker at. Ask them to write the relevant pages at the bottom of their self-assessment sheet. Circulate and have students show you the pages they have selected. Advise them as necessary.

Extra Practice book This book helps students understand, reinforce and practise the grammar and vocabulary taught in each Student’s Book unit. It presents grammar in clear charts with simple explanations and examples and useful Remember! and Be careful! notes. It provides numerous practice opportunities in a wide variety of controlled exercises that will help students acquire the new structures.

Break Time There are two Break Time sections, each appearing after units 3 and 6. The purpose of these sections is to allow students to enjoy English as they play games and listen to songs. They are an opportunity for further practice and for extension as well. The Break Time section that appears after the first three units features a Puzzle Time page and a song by a well-known band. The Break Time section that appears at the end of the Student’s Book features a Play Get it right! page and another well-known song. The Puzzle Time page includes word games that revise the language from preceding units. The Play Get it right! page features a board game that revises all the language taught in the book. The songs are accompanied by a wide variety of activities aimed at helping students explore the language used in the song and understand its message.

Quick Check The Quick Check features clear grammar charts and examples of the main language covered in the Student’s Book. Students will find it an invaluable tool for permanent reference.

Teacher’s Resource Bank

Pronunciation

This book is an invaluable tool for teachers. It features a test for every unit in What’s Up? and factsheets to accompany the Penguin readers suggested for each level of What’s Up?. It also includes a mid-book revision test and an end-of-book revision test. The material presented in the Teacher’s Resource Bank is photocopiable and ready for classroom use.

Pronunciation activities are integrated into every unit in either the vocabulary or speaking sections. These focus on sounds, stress and intonation.

Pairwork activities What’s Up? units include pairwork activities that provide opportunities for students to engage in interesting speaking activities. Pairs are asked to open their books at different pages of their Student’s Book so that they can exchange the information they find. These activities will enable students to use English in meaningful contexts and revise the language they learnt.

Grammar Pronunciation

Present simple

Have students study the sentences in the grammar box and fill in the blanks.



Direct students’ attention to the affirmative sentences. Ask: Which person is different from the rest? (the third person singular: he, she, it). Why is it different? (because there is an s at the end of the verb).



Direct students’ attention to the negative sentences. Ask: How do we form the Present simple negative? (don’t or doesn’t + the main verb). When do we use ‘don’t’? (with I, you, we and they). When do we use ‘doesn’t’? (with he, she, and it). Are ‘don’t’ and ‘doesn’t’ full forms or contracted forms? (contracted forms). What’s the full form of ‘don’t’? (do not). What’s the full form of ‘doesn’t’? (does not).



Point out that when the infinitive ends in /s/, /s/ and /tS/, the ending of the third person singular is pronounced /Iz/, as shown in the examples.



To help clarify, write examples on the board:

work She works. /s/ practise She practises. /s/ /Iz/ wash It washes. /s/ /Iz/ teach He teaches. /tS/ /Iz/ Play CD track 2. Practise these sounds, drilling them chorally and individually.

Remind students that in negative sentences and questions in the third person the verb does not have an s. Write on the board:



She doesn’t work. / Does she work? 4



She doesn’t works. / Does she works? 8



Direct students’ attention to the short answers. Point out the subject and the auxiliary (do, does, don’t, doesn’t) after Yes or No. Also point out the contraction in the negative short answer (don’t, doesn’t), which is very often used in spoken English.



To finish, ask When do we use the Present simple? (We use it to talk about activities we do every day or activities we do with a certain degree of frequency. We also use it for facts –things that are true– and likes.). You may want to write an example of each on the board:

Have students study the examples in the grammar box. Ask What is ‘would like’ used for? (to express something that we want now or in the future). Point out that:



- Would like is the same for all persons.



- The short form of would like is ‘d like and the short form of would not like is wouldn’t like.



- Full forms are not commonly used in spoken English.



- Questions need inversion: Would + subject + like …?



You may want to ask students to write an example of each form (affirmative, negative and interrogative).

Pronunciation

Spanish students tend to use the pronunciation /gu:d/. Insist on the correct pronunciation of the semi-vowel sound /w/, as in / wUd/. Students also tend to pronounce the letter ‘l’, which is silent. Point out that since the ‘l’ in would is silent, the pronunciation of would is the same as the word wood: /wud/. Note to the teacher: The weak and most common form of would is /w@d/.

Draw students’ attention to the picture. Say that all the teenagers are working and tell students that they will describe what each teenager is doing.



Read the example and have students identify the teenager that is described in the example in the picture (the teenage girl in the blue T-shirt).



Read the words in the box and call on volunteers to describe what the teenagers are doing.

AUDIOscript

4 a)

Clarify the activity: Students will listen to a description of the picture which has five mistakes. Their task is to identify the mistakes they hear. You may want to give an example of what students are expected to do. Say: If the audioscript says that Jack is babysitting a small boy, you must circle the little girl because he’s not babysitting a boy, but a girl.

There is a teenage girl next to a car. She’s cleaning it / its window. Jack is in the garden / near a car. He’s babysitting a small girl. Tzu-Lee is near a car. She’s walking some / four dogs. There is a paper boy in the street. He’s delivering newspapers.

Have students discuss the questions in small groups. Then ask students from different groups to share with the class their views on the questions.

b)

Tell students that they will listen again and complete negative sentences to correct the descriptions they hear. You may want to give an example of what students are expected to do. Say: If the audioscript says that Jack is babysitting a small boy, you must complete the sentence so that it reads ‘Jack isn’t babysitting a small boy’. Make sure students understand that they are not expected to write the correct version of what the teenagers are doing. They write negative sentences instead.



1st listening: Play CD track 11, pausing after each piece of relevant information.



2nd listening: Play the CD without pausing for students to confirm what they wrote.
