To the teacher
The way we teach foreign languages, particularly English, has changed radically over the last thirty years. Today, classroom
dynamics are enriched with a host of innovative technical and methodological considerations.
English 1, is student-centered as well as teacher-friendly. It follows the methodology established in the official program and
offers the five thematic units plus an Introductory unit to be covered during the 1st grade in Secondary school. The units
have been designed in modules of three lessons each; the number of lessons agree with the amount of teaching sessions that
conform a school year. A lesson can be covered in a 45-50 minute-class period, nevertheless the timing devoted in each unit
is flexible and will depend on the needs of every group.
The units in English 1 offer the following:

The modules, which shape the programmatic basis of this textbook, follow three stages:
Connecting: introduces students to the topic, the specific notions of language and the communicative functions to be
developed throughout the unit.
Chatting: engages students to practice what theyve learned while transferring language concepts to their own reality.
Downloading: promotes critical thinking skills development and increases accuracy and fluency through oral and written
activities.
A more detailed description of what each stage offers is included in the following section Meet Your Book! (page 4)
English 1 also offers you the following supplementary material:
Audio CD: aimed to help you engage your students to practice pronunciation and to develop listening strategies. Includes
all listening activities such as dialogs, chants and readings.
Teachers Edition: aimed to help you plan and optimize your teaching strategies. It offers a front matter that reviews
the methodology to be followed; a detailed lesson plan for each week in the school year; ten term exams -two different
evaluations per bimester (A and B); all Student book pages with overwritten answers and teaching suggestions, a
Grammar Reference and the audio scripts.
We are sure that English 1 will be a highly successful tool for you and your students throughout the school year.
To the student
Welcome to English 1, designed to be your companion during your first course in English in Secondary school. This book
is aimed to help you enjoy the learning process of the new language while developing useful strategies to start understanding
and communicating in English.
English 1 is organized in modules of three lessons each that offer a variety of activities that will help you acquire basic
vocabulary and fixed expressions in order to communicate in English with your classmates and teacher during your foreign
language class and to start understanding the language in magazines, songs, TV programs, movies, Internet, games, etc., in
things and activities of your interest. Throughout the book, you will also become familiar with different kinds of texts and
use them for personal and limited purposes.
A very important issue about learning a foreign language is to acquire confidence in using a limited range of structures and
vocabulary so as to speak or write about yourself and/or others. Therefore, English 1 helps you to develop self-confidence and
some basic strategies at learning the language. You will find different activities in the book that engage you to understand,
think, produce and reflect on how to use the language properly in familiar situations. You will also have lots of practice
and fun while working and developing the four skills you need to start managing the new language: speaking, reading,
writing and listening. To help you develop this last skill in an easier way, an audio CD is included in your book. A detailed
description of the way to approach a unit, what each lesson offers and what you will find in the last sections in your book is
included in the section: Meet Your Book!
Finally, we invite you to enjoy every moment of your English course and every page in this book; and we wish you the best of
luck throughout this school year!

Connecting: Introduces you to the main topic of the module through an

illustrated dialogue or short text to engage meaningful comprehension of
language and functions. Practice on reading, listening, speaking and writing
for you to produce some performance evidence follows along and finally, you
finish the lesson focusing on developing strategic competences and reflecting
on how you can apply language. This lesson always includes:
a. Words and Expressions: where you learn, reinforce and apply the main
vocabulary in the lesson.
b. Your Turn!: where reflection, application and transferring of knowledge is
performed in your own personal context.
Chatting: It encourages you to practice and extend language in a different
context Through this lesson your performance evidence will be stronger and
will engage you to consolidate communication in the foreign language. This
lesson includes:
a. Focus!: a task aimed to help you understand and consolidate grammatical
structures being learned in the lesson through practice activities that are
correlated to the Grammar Reference found at the end of the book.
Downloading: it is the third and last lesson in each module. Here, you will
find new contexts that will enable you to apply your knowledge to daily and
familiar life situations while producing performance evidence, developing
different strategic competences and reflecting on how to use the language
accurately. This lesson always concludes with a Your Turn! activity.

Portfolio: for these activities, we suggest using a notebook and dividing it

into three sections: a) Dossier: in this section, you save the activities where you
produce new texts: dialogues, descriptions, chants, e-mails, and all the Print Out
lesson activities such as: posters, invitations, brochures, etc. b) Language: where
you can include the language entry activities described below and that will help you
consolidate understanding of new words; and c) Personal section, for you to write the
information that interested you the most from the unit (friends information, your own
experiences, etc). These activities are only suggestions of what can be kept as Portfolio
activities and are aimed for reviewing and reinforcing purposes. However, you and your
teacher are free to choose the activities you may want to use for a Portfolio purpose.
Language: stands for every dictionary entry in the book. Each entry is correlated
with the colored word printed in the body of the lesson to facilitate comprehension
and use of vocabulary. An example using the word in a sentence is included in each
language entry. We invite you to look up the word in your dictionary to find more
definitions. Finally, theres an activity for you to consolidate the use of he word in a
written way. You can do this activity as part of your portfolio work and keep it in the
Language section for further reference and practice.
Blog: where you will find tips to help you develop strategies to use and apply the
language in an easier way, as well as to raise awareness of the differences or similarities
between English and Spanish.

Each unit ends with six lessons which are intended for reviewing and
consolidation purposes of what you learned in the unit.
Wrapping Up! aimed to review and consolidate the language
introduced in the unit.
Print out: offers you the opportunity to work in small groups, to have fun
creating a hands-on-activity and to produce written samples of work based
on the different topics included in the unit. This activity is time-flexible,
depending on the needs of the group and on your teachers instructions. You
K@D<=FI:LCKLI<8E;=LE
can start at school, finish it at home and bring it in the next class to share and
comment with the rest of your group and with your teacher.
Time for Culture and Fun: fun way for using language! This lesson alwaysK@D< :LCKLI<8E;
=FI
=LE
includes a game where comprehension and application of the language is done
in an interactive way.
Tuning Up! where focusing on pronunciation is the purpose. You will always
find a chant specifically written for each unit.
The Cool Teens Magazine: this section includes reading texts using a magazine
format to introduce general cultural facts in a teen-appealing way.
My Personal English File: where you register everyday useful words and
expressions; interesting facts from the unit and to keep a record of your
personal outcome. This section also asks for the use of a monolingual
dictionary to increase your vocabulary and offers an activity correlated to the
previous magazine page.
Finally, at the end of your book, you will find four very useful sections:
Grammar Reference: correlated to the Focus! activities and its aimed to help you to
review and reinforce English.
Reflections about My First Year of English: you can write your personal opinion
about your English course and share it with your teacher and your classmates.
Bibliography: this section provides information about books and Websites that
may be consulted. Some references are for you and some others for your teacher.
Audio Scripts: where you will find the text of every listening activity not printed
in the body of each unit. And for you to practice pronunciation and enjoy
working at developing listening strategies, an audio CD which includes all
listening activities dialogs, reading texts and chants, is offered with this book.
