Grapevine - Workbook 2B

Előszó

To the teacher Grapevine Workbook 2B has twenty units, each corresponding to a unit in the Student's Book. It alsó contains a Study Guide preceding the main body of the book, which can be used throughout work on the book. Workbook 2B relates to units 21-40 in the Student's Book. Workbook 2A is available for units 1-20. The Workbooks have the following aims: 1 Consolidation and reinforcement of the structural and functional material in the Student's Book. 2 Extension of the lexical syllabus of the Student's Book. Vocabulary items are recycled through a variety of vocabulary-based exercises. 3 Development of the skills of reading and writing. Many reading passages deliberately contain material outside the lexical count of Grapevine 2, and students are asked to perform limited tasks based on these materials. They are not expected to understand every word in them. 4 Additional work on pronunciation, spelling, word order, and punctuation. 5 Development of the student's ability to classify and order materials for their own learning. This is alsó promoted by the introductory Study Guide section. 6 Exposure to reference materials from English-English dictionaries. (Note that we recommend the Oxford Elementary Learner's Dictionary for Grapevine 1. Students at Grapevine 2 level will still find this useful, but we alsó include extracts from the intermediate-level Oxford Student's Dictionary, which they will need to use by the time they get to Grapevine 3.) The Workbooks can be used in several ways. Grapevine 2 Teacher's Book contains notes on using the Workbooks in class, as well as an answer key for teachers. We would suggest that a combination of the following uses will be appropriate for most teaching situations. 1 As homework. where students will work alone without help from the teacher. 2 As additional classroom material, somé of which will be suitable for paired oral work. The pronunciation / spelling exercises should alsó be explained orally to students (though the tasks can be done at home, and one of the main purposes is vocabulary recycling in any case). 3 A combination of the above. Workbooks can be used to adjust the speed of progression with different classes, by extending and reinforcing units with work from the Workbooks. Please note that students can be asked not to write in the Workbooks if you wish. This should be pointed out when they are issued, and in this case exercises can be written out on separate pieces of paper. Peter Viney & Karén Viney Vissza
