The key takeaways are that the book is being trialled and feedback from teachers is needed to improve it. It aims to provide a balanced approach to developing linguistic and communicative skills through listening, reading, writing and speaking activities.

The main methodological principles are to place the learner at the center, provide a balance of tasks to develop all skills, and take a systematic approach to developing speaking skills through functional language, strategies, and student interaction.

The student's book includes photographs, culture notes, and links to additional online content such as songs and exercises.

3. GENERAL TIPS TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE BOOK
Picture 1. Use text images resourcefully by means of getting learners to describe them focusing on the description of the place
description or the setting, the people and what they are doing.
Useful questions:
• Is this a city in Chile?
• How many people can you see?
• What are they doing?
2. If needed encourage learners to refer to non-factual information for the sake of language practice.
Useful questions:
• Is it winter or summer?
• Are they friends?
• What are they talking about?
This will allow you to check what learners know about a topic, pre-teach vocabulary or check that learners understand
the use and meaning of new language.
Listening tasks 1. Engage learners with the topic through listening or speaking tasks to fully integrate skills and to activate prior knowledge.
2. Ask a general question for learners to get a general understanding of the context. Then ask more related questions to
get more details. Predicting is an important skill to develop.
3. Present post-listening tasks that aim at asking for reaction to content or to analyse linguistic content.
Speaking tasks 1. Organise and change interaction patterns according to the aims of different kinds of activities. Consider this in order to
vary the pace of the lesson, maximize learning and participation on task.
2. Promote interaction (either T-S or SS) to develop learners’ ability in that language.
3. Questioning is crucial to the way teachers manage the class, engage students with content, encourage participation and
increase understanding.
Ask questions and encourage learners to ask questions in the different stages of the lesson:
• Use questions during the lead-in to a lesson to brainstorm a topic, generate interest and present or activate topic-
related vocabulary.
• Use questions in the presentation stage to elicit learners’ prior knowledge, and guide them into recognising language
patterns.
• Use concept-checking questions (CCQs) to check meaning and understanding of key concepts and Instruction checking
questions (ICQs).
• Ask follow-up questions to personalise language use and encourage learners to ask them as well.
Reading tasks 1. Engage learners with the topic through reading or speaking tasks to fully integrate skills and to activate prior knowledge.
Use skimming and scanning techniques.
2. Warming learners up by means of engaging their interest in the topic of the text and pre-teaching vocabulary if necessary.
3. Analyse titles and visual information and encourage learners to make predictions about text content.
4. Present post-reading tasks that aim at asking for reaction to content or to analyse linguistic content.
Writing tasks 1. Engage learners with the topic through reading, listening or speaking tasks to fully integrate skills.
2. Make sure there is a purpose for the writing task and provide a model for the students to follow.
3. Provide learners with feedback on their written work so that they feel confident when they produce their final versions.
4. Encourage learners to self-correct and get peer feedback.

Focus on 1. Get learners to infer the patterns of linguistic rules by means of guided discovery.
grammar 2. Check learners´ understanding of use and meaning of the target forms.
3. Provide learners with opportunities for communicative spoken practice and additional opportunities to personalise
language.
Pronunciation Provide highly controlled pronunciation practice and provide students with corrective feedback in a systematic way. We
have included some pronunciation listening activities although this kind of drilling should be part of any class when you
detect it is necessary.
Functional 1. Engage learners with the situational or functional context through listening or speaking tasks to activate prior knowledge.
language 2. Get learners to role-play making sure this is manageable within their level.
3. Provide learners with extra support by means of having the language on the board.
4. Promote the fun and motivating aspect of role-play activities and present them as a chance for learners to express
themselves in a more forthright way. If possible use additional elements to make practice meaningful and language use
more memorable.
Tips for Discuss these “boxes” with the students and ask them to express how they learn better. At this level they can do this in
learning L1.

Did you know? Use this as a way of activating your students’ motivation. Encourage them to share other similar situations as well.

Cultural notes These notes are only in the Teacher´s book for you to use as reference.
1. Engage learners with additional cultural information through spontaneous discussion to activate prior knowledge and
to generate interest.
2. Ask relevant follow-up questions.
3. Encourage them to research the different topics on their phones or tablets, guide them to the right pages so that they
can begin to understand how to search in English.
Language At the back of the book you will find a copy of what is in the Student’s book, guide your students to use it as a reference.
Focus Grammar: this section has a more detailed grammar explanation with common exceptions you may need to share with
your students.
Vocabulary: here you will find some extra vocabulary which you may need to use according to what your students want
to express. It’s presented by topics.
Language in Context: There is a list of expressions which you can use as a review.
Irregular verb list: There is a list of many verbs which students can use as a reference and to check.

4. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS TO CONSIDER WHEN TEACHING 5. E Campus SUPPORT


ADULT BEGINNERS The series of Crossing Bridges text books has an online component as
a. Keep instructions clear and simple: make instructions crystal extra support, prepared especially for each book. Encourage students
clear by using as few words as necessary and by gesturing whenever to work on the platform to consolidate their learning process. Remind
possible, and break down series of instructions into smaller units. them that a daily contact with the language will definitely help them
b. Let them listen first: do not pressure students into speaking before to advance and become more fluent (even half an hour). Check the
they’ve had plenty of opportunities to listen to you using the language following page to guide them so that they can have access.
and they have had a chance to practise it among themselves..
c. Drill, repeat, drill, repeat, drill…: Beginners need lots of repetition
and drilling, especially as they get to grips with the sounds of this
new language. Most will need to take notes and/or write. Remember
to make drilling fun! Use drilling with movements, different voices,
different members of your class, etc.
d. Establish classroom language early on: Classroom language – Can
you speak more slowly? What do we have to do? I don’t understand.
What does… mean? How do you say… in English? – is usually
associated with teaching children, but it really helps with adult
beginners as well.
e. Avoid metalanguage: Don’t tell them how to say something: show
them. Give as much context as you can (visual prompts work well).
Never ask “Do you understand?”
f. Prepare well, prepare a lot, keep them talking: bear in mind that,
that unlike higher levels, you can’t rely on conversations developing.
Students don’t yet have the linguistic resources to engage in anything
other than simple exchanges.
g. Don’t overcorrect and allow for mistakes to become a great chance
for learning: remember that the aim is for them to communicate and
get the message through. They need to be understood and accuracy
is desired but fluency is basic for students to begin to feel confident
in this new learning path they have chosen.

encourage them to go on and look back in the unit and find samples of
sentences or words they need.
If students are able to identify and recognise the sentences and
vocabulary, then they have partially achieved the objective of the unit.

CULTURE NOTES:

The UK has, for centuries, regulated which settlements can title


themselves a city. Under Henry VIII, the presence of a diocesan
cathedral was usually enough to guarantee the claim. Size didn’t matter
so much as the exercise of power – spiritual or temporal. Today, the
UK’s official criteria for what constitutes a city remain opaque, but
those put in place in 1907 remain a good rule of thumb: home to at
least 300,000 residents, a distinct identity that is the centre of a wider
area, and a good record of local government.

Alternatively, they can exchange partners. Times of day: in the morning / in the evening
Exceptions: at night / at the weekend

2a. Individually, they write questions to interview someone in the


classroom. Ideally someone they don’t talk to often.
They should be able to recycle the information from the boxes and
forms studied along units 1 & 2.
Expected language: Hello/ What’s your name?/ Where do you live?/
Do you have any children?/ Are you married?/ Where do you work?/
What do you enjoy doing?/ Describe yourself./ What time do you…?/

2c. & d. Once they have the interview complete with questions and
answers, they should practise it and record it using their phones.

SKILLS NOTES:
Encourage students to use sentence frames to organise their thoughts
in a particular way, e.g. To describe or ask questions about someone’s
weekend, you can organise them in a temporal framework. On Saturday
morning, Then, On Saturday afternoon, In the evening, On Sunday
morning, On Sunday afternoon.

These phrases help you organise your ideas.

EXTRA GAME:
Play a game of Chinese whispers. They sit in a circle. Whisper a complete
sentence to the first student, for example, using a sentence frame and
a weekend activity. This person then has to whisper it to the next, etc.
etc. The last person who receives the message has to say it aloud and
then they can compare if it is the same or it got distorted on the way!

CULTURE NOTES:
Small talk is conversation about things that are not important, often
between people who do not know each other well. It can be made in
order to get to know each other:
I don’t enjoy parties where I have to make small talk with complete
strangers.
Making small talk is not as easy as it sounds. On the contrary, talking to
strangers can be extremely difficult.
(Cambridge Dictionary)

them understand. Get them to discuss in pairs and then feedback to
the class about their partner.
Expected language:
I can play the piano. I practised for 10 years.

How about your attitude? Ask the students to read the paragraph.
Then get them to discuss the following questions:
What is your attitude towards English? Positive or negative? Why?
Which attitude is the best for learning?
Expected language:
I have a positive attitude towards English . A positive attitude is the best

best: by listening, using visuals, moving around, by speaking with their
classmates, by reviewing every 2 or 3 days, etc.?

MEMORY: The rest of the page focuses on a explaining how memory


works. The language used here is too difficult for the students at this
level. So some aspects of this can be discussed – as much as can be
understood. The main aim here is to make sure they understand some
learning strategies and memory techniques, so that they become
aware of their learning process and in consequence be responsible
for their learning process and be more autonomous. If you think it's
important they understand this, take a break from English and discuss
it in Spanish.

EXTRA ACTIVITY 1: Language Acquisition


• Discuss the word consolidation with your partner. Can you think of
any synonyms?
• Explain to the students that when you learn something in class, the
teacher may give you homework on the same topic. Why do teacher’s
do that? Elicit answers such as to consolidate the information already
learnt, it makes it easier to remember, strengthening the same
patterns in your brain, etc.
EXTRA ACTIVITY 2:
• Write the word affective filter on the board. Tell the students that this
is something that happens in your brain while learning a language,
when you get nervous or panic. Your brain creates a block that makes
it very difficult to learn more. Get the students to discuss in pairs
what they could do to remove this filter. Elicit answers such as: relax
more, know that it is OK to make mistakes, have a positive attitude,
don’t try to compete with others, learn at your own pace, etc.

their questions. THE STUDENTS MUST RECORD THE CONVERSATION.
Make sure they write notes about the answers they give.
1c. Now they must listen and assess each other. Tell them to be honest
as it will help them improve their speaking skills. As a teacher you will
need to see if you agree with them.
1d. Now ask the studets to repeat the whole process again but with
a different topic. It doesn’t necessarily have to be related to the book
– you could also put up a few examples on the board to help them
be inspired. Make sure that this time they focus ONE aspect of their
speaking (grammar, vocab or pron.) that they feel they really need to
improve. Once they have finished go through the rubic again to see if
they have improved or not.
2. This game can be done back to back. Ask the students to sit back to
back. Then ask them to choose a picture between them, one being A
and the other being B. Then ask them to cover the picture that they
will not be looking at. They will then need to start describing what they
both see and discover the differences together. When they discover
the difference, ask them to circle it. You may want to conver some
functional language here to help them with describing pictures.
Expected language:

Then they compare their lists with each other to see if they are similar. to pair students up – weak and strong students together always. Also
swapping pairs regularly is very beneficial for the students as they can
learn new things from their partner.
Example answers:
What is the name is the restaurant? (The Four Lanterns)
Where is it? (Soho)
What is the phone number? (44 659087315)
How do I make reservations? Online or by phone
Is it open on weekends? Yes
What type of food does it have? Mediterranean and Greek
Is it cheap? Yes
Does it have a website? Yes

4b. Make sure the other student reads through the information about
the restaurant while his or her partner is designing the questions. Get
them to underline the key words. Once they are both ready, they can
have the conversation. Get the person who is asking the questions to
write down the answers they hear. Then when they have finished, ask
the students to compare their answers with the correct information in
the box.

5a. For this activity, the students will need to work in pairs and one of
the students in the pair will need to close their books. The one who
has the the book open will need to read all of the information and
underline the key words.
5b. Meanwhile, the one with the books closed will need a couple of
minutes to design some questions to ask about the new Sports Centre.
Once they have both prepared, they can begin their conversation. Get
the student who is asking the questions to write down the answers
they hear. Once they have finished, Ask them to compare the answers
with the the correct information written down.
Example answers:
What is the name of the sports centre? 360 Sports and Fitness Centre
Where is it? Bringstone Road and Park Avenue
What sports do they have? Outdoor and indoor

2. Students sit in two lines across from each other. How can I find out more information? Website and email.
3. They ask each other questions, using WH questions and try to guess
who the other person is. If they discover who the person is, they can´t
reveal it yet. They can make a note to remember.
4. Give them 2 minutes to exchange information then one line of
students moves to the right, now facing a new partner. The person on
the line who gets left without a partner goes to the beginning of the
line.
This continues until everyone has had an opportunity to meet every
member of the opposite line.
5. At the end of the event, before each one reveals their secret identity,
ask everybody who they think their interviewee were. You can do this
on the board. Finally, the winner is the person who guessed most
correctly.

Which step helps you understand the meaning of vocabulary?

1. This activity puts each step into practice.


Predicting: The students should NOT listen to the audio before step 1.
Get them to predict the content BEFORE listening.
Expected answers:
Who? A doctor
Where? A doctor’s practice
When? Work hours
Why? Could be all three.
Listening for gist: Then ask them to listen to answer the listening for

answers down.
Expected answers:
Name of the patient: Cathy (it´s in the instructions)
Symptons: bad cough and sore throat
Medical problems: the flu
Medical prescription and suggestions: Asprin every four hours, lots of
rest and fluids.
Infering meaning: At this level, students are not expected to infer
meaning, only if you have very fast learners you could give it a try. You
may need to play the audio again for this, however looking at the audio
script is also OK as they have already listened to the audio twice. Also, if
this part is too difficult, you could give the definitions but in the wrong
order, and they can match them up while infering from meaning.

as much as possible. Then get them to close their books and recite what
they have just learned to their partner. Elicit all the information as a
class before opening the book again.

1a., b. & c. Ask students to read through the 4 different options, then
look at the title and the picture. Then in pairs they will have to discuss
which is the correct option. Once they have the answer, ask them to
read through the article quickly to check their answers. Then they
discuss with their partner if their answers are the same or not.
Answer:

Step 2: Students read what scanning is about and again try to get them
to remember everything they read. Then ask them to close their book
and recite what they remember to their partner.
Then focus their attention on the 4 questions at the bottom of the page.
Make sure they read them carefully, underline any key words so they
know what they are looking for. Remind the students that synonyms of
the words may be used instead so they will need to be careful of this.
Then get the students to answer the questions individually. When they
are finished, ask them to check their answers in pairs. Then give them
the right answers. Ask them how they did, if they found it difficult and
why.
Answers:
a) Cabo Negro
b) six million dollars
c) three turbines

Remind the students that usually the answers come in the same order
as the questions, making it easier to find.
EXTRA ACTIVITY:
Tell the students now to come up with several questions based on the
theme of the reading that they will have to ask their partners . Give
them 5 minutes to do this individually. Monitor closely and check for
any errors that empede communication. Then ask the students to
stand up and go and talk to someone in the class they haven’t talked to
for a while, and ask the questions. Then get them to share what their
partners said to the class.

2. Explain to the students that when writing, you usually use a model
first. From this, you can understand the language used and the structure
of the writing.

Ask them to look at the model email and answer the following
questions: Is it formal? Does it have everything it needs?

Now get them to check the checklist with the model email. Does it tick
all the boxes? Any missing?

3. Now explain to the students that they will write their own email.
They will need to follow the same structure as the model, and use
similar language. Get them to write individually, and make sure they
plan in bullet points what they will write first (following a,b and c) . Give
them 5 minutes, and then get them to swap with a partner for peer

Chinchorro mummies are the oldest mummies discovered in the world
to date.
The Chinchorro were a prehistoric people who lived in scattered
communities and used fishing to help them survive on the desert coast
of Chile and Peru.
The nearly 300 mummies, which have been recovered in recent years
from the dry coastal area near the Perú border, are thought to date
from between 5000 BC to 1500 BC.

Vocabulary words from this and previous units. If you're not sure,
choose to go over a list you’ll use for the game with your students if
desired.
1. Divide your class into two teams. The team that begins will choose
their first contestant.
Student A from Team A will stand with his or her back to the whiteboard.

This game is great for practising yes/no questions. Model the first
example.
1. A student thinks of an object (something from the unit: person,
place, object - you give the rules)
2. Then the other students take turns asking questions and trying to
determine what that object is.
3. The class limit is 20 questions and those include the final guesses.
(e.g. Is it Plaza de Armas?)
4. If the class guesses the object correctly, they win the round. If not,
the person who chose the object wins.
