    Introduction

    Whats 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 Whats Up? is to help students learn English in meaningful, communicative contexts and to provide them with a clear understanding of the language.

    Students BookThe Students Book contains six units based on stimulating, varied topics. They have ten pages organised into the following sections:

    Lead-in pageThis page introduces the unit theme through colourful photos and short lists of words that will help students talk about the photos. The aim of this section is to stimulate interest in the topic and help students express simple ideas about it. 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. It is essential that students are made aware of their final objective a task in which they will use English the way it is used in the real world.

    VocabularyIn every unit of Whats Up? there are two Vocabulary sections followed by a Grammar section each. Each Vocabulary page introduces one or two sets of words or phrases and includes photos or illustrations to help students work out the meaning of new words. Varied exercises and activities allow students to practise the words through meaningful spoken and written activities.

    GrammarThe two Grammar sections in every unit are preceded by a Vocabulary section. The grammar points are clearly presented in boxes which include both complete sentences and gapped sentences. The purpose of these boxes is to help students find patterns in the new grammar points they are learning and to make grammar rules more memorable after having reflected on them. The grammar boxes are followed by a sequence of oral and written activities which practise the new structures in a guided way and recycle language from the Vocabulary section on the preceding page. These activities lead to the Your turn section, in which the target structures are contextualised in short conversations or narratives. This section always includes pairwork activities, some of which direct students to the back matter on pages 73-75. It allows students to use English in meaningful contexts and revise the language they have learnt.

    Reading and WritingThis two-page section includes a reading and a writing section.

    Interesting and updated texts cover a wide range of text types including a web page, a catalogue, an online ad, a magazine article, a magazine interview and online film reviews. Their purpose is to expose students to the new vocabulary and grammar in a natural context. Pre-reading activities encourage students to predict the content of a text. Post-reading comprehension activities, which first focus on gist and then on more detailed information, help students obtain a full understanding of the text and train them in the strategy of scanning by asking them to look back at the text and find the information they need to answer the questions successfully. Varied discussion activities encourage students to get involved with the topic dealt with and express their own ideas in a simple way.

    The writing section consists of a complete column devoted to developing writing skills. It features a Writing rule box that helps students develop such micro skills as punctuation, organisation and linkers, and guided writing exercises that help students produce their own piece of writing successfully. Pre-writing activities are always provided.

    Listening and SpeakingThis one-page section features a conversation that is related to the unit theme and incorporates some of the vocabulary and grammar that students have previously learnt. The pre-listening activities are usually related to a colourful photo that sets the context for the first listening. These activities will aid students comprehension by making them aware of the kind of conversation they are going to listen to. The comprehension exercises that follow are of two types. The first exercise develops global comprehension as it encourages students to understand gist. The second exercise develops detailed comprehension by asking students to understand specific information. Whenever necessary, there is a third activity which also focuses on details. These activities develop the students confidence and ability to understand simple conversations in English.

    A speaking activity leads on naturally from the listening activity. It includes a functional conversation that teaches some of the language students might need in simple everyday situations. Students will learn how to ask someone how he/she is, compliment someone on something he/she has, introduce a friend, ask the time, order food, and buy something in a shop. The section provides a recorded model to encourage students to imitate pronunciation and intonation.

    Final taskAt the end of each unit students put together all they have learnt in an achievable task that serves a twofold purpose. Each task has been carefully designed to a) get students to use the language covered in current and previous units

    SAMP

    in a communicative context and b) help students gain experience using digital tools such as software programs and the Internet.

    Given that digital tools may not always be available to students, each final task offers two options.

    Option 1 is to be carried out using laptops or computers.

    Option 2 is to be carried out using traditional methods such as speaking and writing.

    For Option 1 of the final tasks in Whats Up? Starter, students will need:

    Introduction

    2 When working with software such as PowerPoint or CMapTools,makesurestudentsarefamiliarwithit.Iftheyare not, before they get started on a final task, you should model the steps for using it.

    Self-assessmentThe last page of each Students Book unit offers students the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learnt and reflect on their progress. The following are a few general guidelines as to how to approach it:

    Tellstudentsthatthissectionwillhelpthemevaluatetheir progress. Go over the six tasks and the examples withtheclass.Clarifyanydoubtsandgiveafewmoreexamples if necessary.

    Encouragestudentstowritefiveitemsforeachofthetasks and to use different pronouns, verbs, nouns, etc,toaddvarietytotheiranswers.Circulateasstudents write to monitor their work.

    Havestudentsratetheirworkaccordingtohowwellthey think they did. Tell them they can write from 1 to 5ticksonthescalebeloweachtask.Circulatetohelpstudents rate their work.

    Thenhavestudentsratetheiroverallworkbyaddingup the total number of ticks they got and writing them on the scale at the bottom of the page.

    Callonsixstudentstocometotheboard.Eachstudent writes on the board his/her answers to one of thetasks.Discusstheanswerswiththeclass,makeany necessary corrections and clarify any doubts.

    Havestudentsreflectonhowmuchtheyhavelearnt.Students who didnt 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 Students 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-assessmentsheet.Circulateandhavestudentsshow you the pages they have selected. Advise them as necessary.

    Break TimeThere are three Break Time sections, appearing after units 2, 4 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 first two Break Time sections feature a Puzzle Time page and a Song page. The Puzzle Time page includes word games that revise language in preceding units. The Song page contains simple activities based on a song chosen by the students themselves and whose recording they should bring to class. The Break Time section that appears at the end of the book features a board game, The Rainbow Game, that revises the main grammar and vocabulary taught in the book.

    PronunciationPronunciation notes focusing on sounds, word stress and intonation have been included wherever appropriate in this Teachers Guide. Please see Planificacin Anual on pages 8-13.

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

    Pages 1 and 2: Vocabulary and Grammar

    Pages 3 and 4: Vocabulary, Grammar and Reading

    Page 5: Writing and Listening

    Page 6: Self-check

    The Workbook section gives students a new opportunity to practise their listening skills. The Workbook audio files can be found in mp3 format at www.pearsonelt.com.ar/wu/workbookaudio. Teachers can assign these listening exercises as homework for correction in the classroom as students will be able to download the audio files to their computers. You will find the audioscript and the answer key to these exercises at the back of this Guide.

    Extra Practice BookThis book helps students understand, reinforce and practise the grammar and vocabulary taught in each Students 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.

    Quick CheckTheQuickCheckfeaturescleargrammarchartsandexamples of the main language covered in the Students Book.

    Teachers Resource BankThis book is an invaluable tool for teachers. It features a diagnostic test, unit checks and tests for every unit in Whats Up? It also includes a mid-book revision test and an end-of-book revision test. The material presented is photocopiable and ready for classroom use.

    Welcome to Whats Up?

    Students Book pages 4, 5 and 6

    1 Have students look at the picture. Say: Teacher. Students find the label teacher in the picture and repeat chorally after you. Do the same with the other labels in the picture.

    For further practice, point to several objects in the classroom and have students name the objects. For example, point to a chair and have the class say: Chair! Do the same with the other objects labelled in the picture.

    Read the text in the speech bubbles (Good morning, everyone. Good morning, Miss Kent). Make sure students understand this greeting. Teach the greeting Good afternoon by writing it on the board and explaining when to use it.

    2 Read the verbs aloud as students study the pictures that illustrate them. Then ask the class to read the verbs chorally.

    For further practice, say: Close your book! and have students follow your instruction. Do the same with the following instructions. Say:

    Look at the window.

    Open your books.

    (Write Whats Up? on the board and point to what youve written.) Read this.

    Write school bag.

    Circle the word bag.

    3 Students use the verbs in Exercise 2 to complete the sentences individually. To check answers, call on students to say the verbs. Write them on the board.

    ANSWERS

    2. Look3. Listen4. Read5. Write6. Close

    4 a) Read the dialogues aloud. Then read each dialogue again, pausing after each item so students can repeat chorally. Clarify any doubts about unknown vocabulary.

    Draw students attention to the question in dialogue 3. Point out that we use Can I ? to ask for permission. You may want to write other examples on the board:

    Can I read?

    Can I ask a question?

    b) Read the example aloud. Before students practise in pairs, ask the class: Whats open in Spanish? Whats leer in English? Whats book in Spanish? and have the class answer chorally. As students practise in pairs, walk around to provide help as needed.

    5 a) and b) Read the conversation between Carol and her teacher. Explain that Bye and Goodbye have the same meaning.

    To revise the greetings students have learnt in this section, write on the board:

    Good morning, Carol. Hello, Carol. Goodbye, Carol.

    Good morning, Miss / Sir. Hello, Miss / Sir. Bye, Miss / Sir.

    Address several students and use one of the greetings on the board. The students should answer with an appropriate reply. For example, address a student and say: Hello, (students name). The student should look at you and say: Hello, Miss / Sir.

    6 This exercise will help students become aware of the fact that they already know a lot of words in English. Tell students that some of the words we use every day are English words. Others are not English, but they are very similar to their English equivalent.

    Go over the example (Start). Students complete the words with a partner. To check answers, call on several students to say the words. Write the words on the board.
