Glossary: Giving meaning and phonetic transcription of the new words in the units

THE TEACHER’S BOOK
The Teacher’s Book gives full procedural notes for teaching different parts of each unit. The
answer keys to the exercises in the Student’s Book and the transcriptions are also given in the
Teacher’s Book.
THE WORKBOOK
The Workbook mirrors and reinforces the content of the Student’s Book. It offers:
•

Further practice of the language and skills taught in class

•

Four additional tests for students’ self-assessment.

THE CD
•
The CD provides recorded scripts of all listening exercises and dialogues.

THE COMPONENTS OF EACH UNIT
There are 12 main units in the Student’s Book. Each unit has seven sections and provides
language input for seven classroom lessons of 45 minutes each. These 12 richly illustrated,
cross-curricular and theme-based units focus on offering students motivation, memorable
lessons, and a joyful learning experience. At the beginning of each unit there are explicit
learning objectives that clearly state the main language and skills to be taught in the unit.
SECTION 1: GETTING STARTED
This section occupies two pages and is designed for one 45-minute lesson in class. It begins
with a conversation followed by activities which introduce the topic of the unit. It then
presents the vocabulary and the grammar items to be learnt and practised through the skills

This activity aims to develop students’ reading abilities. In order to make the activity
achievable, the reading text is often based on the vocabulary and structures that students
have previously acquired. The reading always links with the topic of the unit and is interesting
and relevant to the students. Important new vocabulary is introduced in the text and
practised in a follow-up activity.
The reading also provides input for the speaking that follows.

6SHDNLQJ
This activity aims to provide further practice which supports students in their production of
spoken English. The activity uses the recently introduced items in combination with previously
learnt language in new contexts.
SECTION 6: SKILLS 2
Skills 2 is composed of listening (receptive skill) and writing (productive skill).

/LVWHQLQJ
The listening activity follows the oral practice in the Speaking section. The listening provides
students with an opportunity to listen to the language that they have practised orally and
trains them to listen for general and specific information.

:ULWLQJ
This section focuses on developing students’ writing skills. There is a writing tip or a guideline
which is very useful to help them to write effectively. The result of the writing activity must
be a complete piece of writing (ideally it is marked by the group/ class/ teacher).
SECTION 7: LOOKING BACK & PROJECT
This section covers two pages and should be dealt with in one 45-minute lesson.
Looking Back recycles the language from the previous sections and links it with unit topics.
Various activities and exercises are designed to help students consolidate and apply what
IV INTRODUCTION



2. TEACHING SPEAKING
There are two forms of speaking in Tiếng Anh 7: spoken interaction and spoken production.
The first refers to the ability to ask and answer questions and handle exchanges with others. The
second refers to students’ ability to produce language appropriately and correctly.
Speaking activities should include:
-

Pronunciation is practised through dialogues, games, rhymes and songs. Through these
forms, students practise the stress, rhythm and intonation patterns of English in a natural
way. It is crucial to provide students with lots of models and to build up their confidence
with acceptance of approximate correct pronunciation.

-

Repetition helps students to memorise vocabulary and ‘chunks’ of language. Repetition
and classroom routines build up an expanding repertoire of English that helps students
understand and respond to a situation as a part of communicative interactions in class.
One strategy is to provide lots of opportunities for students to practise with a secure
feeling through choral repetition of action rhymes and games. It is also important to
establish classroom routines (such as greetings and saying goodbye) at the beginning and
the end of the lessons. Asking for permission, saying common classroom expressions such
as: I don’t understand. Could you say it again, please? May I ask you a question? or answering
a question, I don’t know. I think/guess ..., and Perhaps ... are important language tasks for
students to practise daily.

-

Pair work/ group work and class presentations help students to talk freely in a language
situation related to the topic of the unit. They also make students feel secure and promote
their confidence in speaking.

-

While writing helps students work independently under the teacher’s guidance and
supervision.

-

After writing helps students consolidate their writing skills through a follow-up activity
such as completing a final draft, copying the draft into students’ notebooks or on a
clean sheet of paper. Students focus on neatness, spelling, punctuation, use of words,
sentence structures, and organisation of the writing.

5. TEACHING PRONUNCIATION
Teaching pronunciation consists of teaching phonetics (sounds in isolation and in context),
rhymes, chants, and songs. With the knowledge of phonics learned in previous years, students
are able to improve their speaking and reading skills because they can identify the spelling and
pronunciation patterns of listening texts and decode them quickly. Teachers focus students’
attention on the letter(s) and its/ their sound(s) in words, and model the new sounds a few
times for students to repeat.
In teaching pronunciation it is advisable that the teacher should engage the students by using
varied techniques including:
° Visual aids (flashcards, pictures, etc.)
° Miming
° Letter/ sound focus and repetition
° Line by line repetition and clapping
° Focus on syllables
° Pair/ group practice, performance
6. TEACHING VOCABULARY
Teaching vocabulary helps students understand, memorise and use words appropriately in
their specific contexts. Students at lower secondary level still learn 'chunks' of English which

activity, using the cued pictures or prompts in their books.

-

Reinforcing the new grammatical item with a variety of spoken and written activities.

8. SEQUENCING

Students should be given clear instructions about what they are expected to do and say.
The following are some suggested teaching procedures.
-

Whole class. Elicit/ Teach the focus language (words, phrases or structures). Then
write them on the board.

-

Model. Perform the focused materials yourself with a confident student or ask
a pair to demonstrate in front of the class. Help and guide them to interact in a
reasonably structured manner. This will enable the freer stage of independent pair
work/group work that will follow.

-

Pairs/groups. Students practise in pairs or groups. Monitor the activity and offer
help if necessary.

-

Performance. Ask a confident pair or some volunteers to perform the task for the

2. What do you think the objects are made of?
3. Can you guess what hobby it is?


fragile. My dad can make beautiful pieces of art
from empty eggshells. It’s amazing!
He started the hobby five years ago after a trip
to the US where he saw some carved eggshells in
an art gallery. My father did not go to class to
learn how to carve. He learned everything from
the Internet.
Some people say that this hobby is difficult and
boring, but it isn’t. All you need is time. It may
take two weeks to complete one shell. I find this
hobby interesting because carved eggshells are
unique gifts for family and friends. I hope that
in the future he’ll teach me how to do eggshell
carving.
