Upbeat Pre-Intermediate

Common European Framework (CEF)Learning and Exam skills

Content & Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)

Upbeat Pre-Intermediate is the third level for the Upbeat series, which is intended for teenage learners. It follows a carefully developed structural / grammatical syllabus highlighting the communicative function of each structure. The regular Use your English boxes introduce frequently used communicative phrases and expressions which are outside the structural syllabus. There is graded development of speaking, writing, listening and reading using up to date text formats, including web pages, discussion boards, blogs and help desks. Students learn fundamental academic learning skills such as skimming and scanning reading texts, prediction and listening for gist before detailed listening. The listening materials include single speaker descriptions, discussions, situational dialogues, radio programmes, stories, sports reports and phone calls. There is also regular training in pronunciation.

The topics start from the familiar experiences of learners but then extend the ideas to develop the students’ world experience and knowledge. Learners also learn functional language for everyday situations. Public speaking in class is a new skill, and students are asked to report on the results of surveys, describe familiar and unfamiliar situations, and express opinions.

The topic material also creates links with other parts of the school curriculum; not just information topics such as history and geography but also citizenship and environmental science. There are up to date academic topics such as plagiarism and copying of other people’s work.

© Pearson Longman 2009/2010

In terms of both language and communication Upbeat Pre-Intermediate extends the coverage of A2 level and introduces some skills and ideas from B1 level, giving learners further competence and confidence in the fundamentals of communication in English.

Three unusual features are [1] the red ‘transparent bookmark’ which create instant cloze texts. These focus the learners’ attention on key learning items, [2] the regular ‘solve it’ questions which invite students to consider more deeply reading and listening texts, in order to solve simple problems [3] the wide variety of extra practice activities at the back which make the book suitable for mixed ability classes.

In addition to the workbook, the CD Multi-ROM provides linked grammar, vocabulary activities and games for the computer or interactive white board. Upbeat Pre-Intermediate is a book written by highly respected and experienced authors, writing at their best!
