1. INTRODUCTION
First of all I would like to thank you for your participation and effort. Remember you can count on CL for all the support you may need.
From the first day our primary concern should be students’ learning. This guide is meant to make the first days easier for you. These first few days are
fundamental to getting the students familiar with the lesson routine. Any doubts you have, let us know as soon as possible:
• Please remember to respect other teachers and classes going on at the same time.
• Once in the classroom, establish some basic rules and explain the way the lessons are going to be organised. Try to encourage students to use “English classroom language.”
• When the lesson has finished, make sure all the material which has been used and the classroom are tidied up. You should be the first to enter the classroom and be the last to leave it.
• We will give you a board pen for the lessons in the academy. • For the first lessons you may use the games suggested below or any other
activities you are familiar with. • USE ENGLISH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND REINFORCE IT BY USING
THE BOARD. As “Listening” is one of the most difficult skills in learning a foreign language, visual aid is always useful.
2. HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
There is a variety of worksheets and the instructions for each one to deal with adults with
intermediate level. According to the level of your, you can adapt the activities as you consider most appropriate. If the worksheets are not finished in one session, keep them and finish them in the following lesson.
The first days of the course are, indeed, an overview and a chance to check the group’s level and help you decide which students should be changed to a lower/upper level taking into account their skills and the way they do the activities –quickly or slowly-, as well as thinking about the most appropriate book for them.
Remind students they can practise at home with the resources they can find on our website: “Área de Padres y Alumnos”. There are resources for teachers as well.
3. WORKSHEET INSTRUCTIONS
The main objective of these worksheets is to make students remember what they have learnt before. In that sense, games are an amazing tool for teaching languages: to pick up vocabulary, grammatical structures, and the rhythm of the language. It is a good idea to begin and finish the lesson by playing a game, especially during the first few days.

GAMES � Question Toss
You will need a small ball.Teach SS to answer a question while staying active with question toss. Ask a question, then throw the ball to a student. The student answers the question, then asks a related follow-up question. The student throws the ball to another student. The second student follows the same directions as the first student by answering the question and asking a related question. This continues until someone is unable to think of an answer, a question, or an on-topic response to a question. � Grammar auction
This is a game where SS have to bid to buy correct sentences. Divide the class into 2 or 3 groups. Give each group a list of sentences. Explain that they have £1000 to spend and have to try to “buy” the correct sentences in an auction. Some of the sentences are correct, some incorrect. If they think a sentence is correct, they can bid to buy it. They then record the price they have paid for each sentence on the list you’ve given them.
Bids start at £50, the second bid is £100, then £150, etc.
The group that buys the most correct sentences with their £1000 are the winners. So, if one group spends all their money on one sentence, they are unlikely to win.
LIST 1:
- A chair is a thing which you sit on
- Have you ever gone to Rome?
- How often do you go to the hairdresser’s?
- Mary is my sister’s husband.
(Answers: right; “been”; right; “husband’s sister”)
LIST 2:
- A photographer is a person which takes photos.
- They hardly never go to the theatre, only once a year.
- Yesterday morning I went jogging in the park.
- This isn’t mine, it’s their.
(Answers: “who”; “ever”; right; “theirs”)

LIST 3:
- What time does leave the train?
- The Amish can’t to drive cars, only tractors.
- It’s the David’s car.
- Do banks open on Sundays?
(Answers: “does the train leave”; to; the; right) � Who wants to be a millionaire
Split your classroom into groups and then, have them take turns answering true or false questions until they choose to stop and 'bank' their money or until they get a question wrong and lose everything. Ask the first student a question (usually very easy) and if they get it right then move on to the second student in the group and ask if they would like to continue or 'bank' the $500, the questions I use slowly get harder but in general they are relatively easy. During these questions they aren't allowed any help from other students.
Doraemon has no ears - True There were 5 members of the Beatles - False
Anpanman's weakness is water - True I have 4 arms - False
We live on the moon - False The sun is hot - True
To add to the fun, give them 2 lifelines that they can choose to use at any stage during their team’s turn (they can only use each lifeline once per round).
Phone a friend - Call someone else in the team and ask them for help (feel free to make them pretend that they're actually talking on a phone for laughs).
Ask the group - Let the team discuss what they think is the best answer.
Keep track of how much money each team puts in the bank and you can add it up to see which team wins.
� Getting to know you True/False
The teacher says or writes 5 statements about him/herself, some true, some false. SS have to ask questions to find out more information and then, decide which statements are true or false. SS can then write 3 statements themselves and interview each other in pairs.
Example:
Rv: 05/03-09-15. Pág /37

The teacher says “I went to the Red Sea last summer”. SS can ask “what did you do there?”, Who did you meet?” “Who did you go with?”, etc
The teacher answers the questions and then, SS decide if what the teacher says is true or false.
• WORKSHEET 1: GETTING TO KNOW YOU As an ice-breaker tell SS they are going to ask each other a set of random questions. The purpose of this activity is to come up with an answer ASAP. SS may make notes of answers given by their partners. Hand out worksheets for student A and student B and allow as much time as they need to complete the task. Once finished, ask SS to report back to you on what they have learnt about their partners: What have you learnt about your partner?
• WORKSHEET 2: Grammar Master Fun game based in a form of a quiz. Cut up the cards and write numbers 1 -22 on the back of each card. And place them on the desk or pin them up on the board. Divide your class into teams. Each team takes it in turns to choose a number and the you read out the corresponding question. Allow a couple of minutes for the teams to come up with their answer. If they are correct, they get the points indicated on the question card! • WORKSHEET 3: Word-build dominoes

WORKSHEET B
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
was born in Salzburg on January 27th, 1756. His father, a musician
and composer, saw that his son had a great talent. At the age of
three, young Wolfgang could play tunes on the piano by ear, and
by the age of six he was composing. His father took him on tour to
play in the courts of Europe from the age of six. He became
famous, but as he grew from boy to man he remained childish
despite his musical genius.
In 1781, at the age of 25, he moved to Vienna. The following year
he gave his first big concert and was a huge success. In the same
year he married Constanze Weber. Over the next eight years they
had six children but only two survived.
In 1784 Mozart joined the Freemasons. The period between 1784
and 1791 saw Mozart at his busiest. Although he made a lot of
money from his music, he and his wife lived beyond their means
and were always running out of money. His health suffered due to
his increased workload and he died of kidney failure in Vienna on December 5th, 1791. He died poor
and was buried in an unmarked grave. Many years later a memorial was erected in the
Zentralfriedhof (the largest cemetery) in Vienna. There have been stories that he was murdered by
composer Antonio Salieri (1750-1825) who was jealous of Mozart’s genius. It seems unlikely as not
only was Salieri a great fan of Mozart’s, he also taught one of Mozart’s sons. Another fan of
Mozart’s was Beethoven (1770-1827), a composer, like Mozart, of the Classical Era (1750-1820).
Both Mozart and Beethoven belong to a group of composers known as the Viennese School.
Franz Peter Schubert
was a composer from the Classical Era (1750-1820) who
belonged to a group of composers known as the Viennese School.
Schubert’s great gift was his poetry, and his many songs, like Ave Maria, remain as fresh today as when they were first written.
He was born in Vienna on January 31st, 1797. In 1808, at the age
of 11, he passed an audition for the Imperial Chapel and entered
the Stadtkonvit under the direction of the composer Antonio
Salieri (1750-1825). Salieri recognised young Schubert’s talent
and remained his teacher long after Schubert had left the
Stadtkonvit. At the age of 16 Schubert composed his first
symphony. However, rather than rely on his music to provide him
with an income, he trained as a teacher, like his father. While he
taught, he continued composing, writing 600 songs, five
symphonies and two masses by the time he was 20. The
following year Schubert left teaching and decided to become a
freelance musician. Although his output was extensive, he didn’t really earn much money from it. He
relied on his close circle of well-connected friends to provide food and accommodation. At the time
of his death, only less than 100 of his 1,000 songs had been published. The rest were not publ ished
until more than 40 years after his death.
Schubert was a great fan of the composer Beethoven (1770-1827), and carried a torch at the funeral
of the great man, in 1827. 10,000 people gathered at Beethoven’s funeral, whereas only a handful
were in the same place one year later to bury Franz Schubert who, at 31 years old, had died of
typhoid. Schubert’s memorial is next to Beethoven’s in the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna.
