Real Life Pre-Intermediate

Common European Framework (CEF)

Can do

Exam Skills

Real Life Pre-Intermediate will give students considerable fluency in all the communication skills required at A2 level, preparing students for the KET examination. The quantity and quality of the material is excellent throughout. The topics are appropriate to teenage learners but look forward to future needs in every day, employment or academic contexts. Students learn to describe objects, places and processes, as well as routine functions such as shopping. Students are trained in precise listening, error correction and note taking. They are trained to expand from notes and summarise audio and written texts as well as real life events. They are also trained to express and justify their opinions with reasons and evidence when describing faults in goods or services and making complaints. Students learn how to discuss and present their opinions on both every day topics and matters of international importance.

The materials treat learners with respect and encourage them to think carefully about topics in an adult way (see Unit 7) which relates to Citizenship training.

The thorough training in the use of grammatical structures and vocabulary is integrated with the topic material so that students can see the relevance and communicative value of the new language.

Skills strategies are listed on the back cover and are both trained and exercised throughout the book.

The input materials from websites, phone calls, voicemail, radio discussions, phone-ins, notes, postcards, letters, advertisements and short magazine articles are appropriate to the communication media used by this age group. The practice materials are organised in developmental chains maximising the learning benefit from the input materials. Grammar2know, Words2know and Phrases2know highlight key learning points in short, memorable ‘bites’. Learners are trained skill strategies and given a good basis in grammar and vocabulary.

Real Life Pre-intermediate will give students a firm foundation for continued study of English at higher levels.
