Energy is a new course, designed with the advice and help of students and their teachers around the world. Energy takes students from false-beginner to intermediate level and offers the flexibility of dual-entry with either Energy 1 or Energy 2. Energy 2 is at elementary level, for students who are comfortable with the basic grammar, vocabulary and functions of English, but need to review these areas before moving on to more complicated language. Better learners Energy aims to give students the tools and training they need to learn, remember and, of course, use new language. • A common complaint among teachers of teenagers is that students fail to retain new7 language once they have been exposed to it in the classroom, particularly vocabulary items. Students appear to lack the necessary skills to make them efficient language learners. • Energy addresses this problem with logically staged grammar syllabuses and by carefully controlling the vocabulary loading at each level, ensuring that students do not have to cope with more than 1,000 core items. • Students are shown practical ways of how to remember new language with regular Memory Tips throughout the course. • New language must be reused in order for it to fix in the student’s brain. The Memory Gym at the back of the Students’ Book provides students with stimulating activities to allow this to happen. • Frequently, students lack an effective technique which permits them to store new language systematically. As a result, they lack an effective record of their learning and find it difficult to review language they encounter in class. Energy shows students how to record new language for effective recall in the Word Store vocabulary notebook which accompanies the Students’ Book. Motivated learners Teenage learners can suffer from a lack of motivation, w;hich affects their ability to learn English and make progress in the language. • The Energy course provides a wide range of materials, packed with real-life elements designed to stimulate and motivate teenage learners and create a positive learning environment. • Students usually enjoy reading about characters of their own age and engaging in real-world contexts and up- to-date topics. All of these elements feature prominently in Energy • You will find that regular cross-curricular materials form useful links to other subjects in the secondary curriculum. • Energy also gives students a strong sense of the culture behind the English language throughout the materials and in the regular Culture Bite pages. Focused learners Energy is designed to ensure that learners make the most of their time in the classroom and at home. • The materials are easy-to-use and learning objectives are well-defined throughout the course. • Each unit of the Energy Students’ Book is divided into distinct Focus sections and helpful headings are included on every page to concentrate students’ and teachers’ efforts on a particular area of language or skill. 8 INTRODUCTION A sense of progress Students and teachers need to be able to assess performance and progress in English throughout the academic year. • Energy provides a comprehensive testing system to suit a wide variety of needs, from level diagnosis at the beginning of the year to end-of-term skills tests. • Students are able to assess their own performance with informal tests in the Students’ Book and Workbook. • You can make use of further informal tests included in the Teacher’s Book and more formal tests in the Test Book and Placement tests. The Common European Framework and UCLES exams The Energy grammar, vocabulary and skills syllabuses are linked to the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework. • Energy 2 correlates to the Common European Framework Basic user level A2. • The Energy Test Books also introduce students gently to the Test types and tasks from the UCLES (University of Cambridge Local Exams Syndicate) ESOL exams. • Energy 2 Test Book familiarises students with task types as found in the KET (Key English Test) Listening and Reading and Writing papers. Students would be at an appropriate level to consider preparing for KET following level 2 or 3 of the Energy course. Energy Common European UCLES Main Suite Framework Level Exam Level 1 A1-A2 Level 2 A2 KET Level 3 A2-B1 KET Level 4 B1-B2 PET 9 INTRODUCTION Components 1 Students’ Book Energy 2 Students’ Book has ten main units and a Starter unit which includes basic items of vocabulary and grammar. Please see below for the structure of each unit. Switch On An Objectives Box shows the grammar, vocabulary and communication language to a- !« gsi |J be presented in the unit.

Students look at the photo, listen to tS«« SZjZTslKZStUJSa ■'*af "-1V" SW*M" «'» * e^££f5C*~ the dialogue, then read and check their *- Men* IteW m mm «*■* -ftsa w to. answers. The dialogue includes the target language of the unit and examples of informal spoken English. A small grammar or vocabulary presentation leads into a roleplay activity. Grammar Grammar is clearly laid out in a table at the top of the page. A Think about language box encourages students to think further about the ——- grammar point. The grammar is then presented in context, and y 1.s ' practised in a controlled situation. ‘Remember’ boxes recall small grammar points or common areas of difficulty. There are one or two grammar pages in a unit. i - 1 Vocabulary A controlled amount of vocabulary is presented and carefully explained. A 3- Memory Tip shows students how the words can be remembered. Students are then directed to the Memory Gym to practise the words they have just learnt. Where necessary, pronunciation exercises help with pronunciation difficulties. The vocabulary is recycled in subsequent Focus pages and units. There are one or two vocabulary pages in a unit. 10 INTRODUCTION Communication FOCUS 5 Communication - r-u Students are given the opportunity to practise the target grammar and vocabulary unit in a communicative context.

Young Science Star Letter Skills The language of the unit is reinforced and practised in all four skills, using authentic material and stimulating topics and contexts. A Study Skills Box give students tips on how to improve their performance in listening, speaking, reading, writing and in using a monolingual dictionary. Students are directed to the Writing Gym at the back of the book, where they are encouraged to produce their own version of the model text provided on the skills pages. Energy Check Energy Check The vocabulary, grammar, and communication skills of the unit are quickly checked on the Energy Check page. Further testing of progress is provided in the Workbook, the Test Book, and in Photocopiable Tests in the Teacher’s Book. Finally, at the end of each Check there .. . is a 'How RU Doing?’ section that enables students to assess their & Q own progress. Culture Bite Odd-numbered units finish with a Culture Bite page.
