OUTCOMES ADVANCED In this introduction we try to answer these questions: ‘What are the goals of language students? ‘What is key language for students at Advanced level? ‘What is key for teachers to help them teach? KEY GoALs ‘The Common European Framework of reference (CE) states tat language learning and teaching oveal goals should be 111 todeal wth the busines of everyday fein another county. and to help foreigners staying in their own country to doo 12 toexchange information and idews with young people and ‘aduts vino speck a diferent farguage and to commaunicate thei thoughts and feeirgs to them, 1.3 tocchive a wider and deeper understanding ofthe way of fe «and forms of thought of the peoples and of ther cuturahertage (Counci of ture, 2001 page 3) ‘These ideas underpin everything we do in the Outcornes series. ‘At Advanced level, we look at can-do statenents for C2 level as ‘a guide to what students might want to achieve ‘Business of everyday life You can see the communicative _ateas that are dealt with in the how to sections of the contents ‘and tite strip that heads each unit. Outcomes hasa strong, practical thread, For example, students at Advanced level learn ‘the grammar and vocabulary to: + talk about the nature of work and discuss terms and conditions of employment pp. 64-69 + present icleas and theories and ask for clarification pp.84-85 For many students passing exams is also the business of ‘everyday life, which is why Outcomes has a Gramnas rvenece ‘with exercises on al the grammar you'd expect. Simitarly, ‘Warne deals with both practical types of writing (writing ‘a coneting letter pp.128-129) and exam-type writing (expressing your opinion pp. 122-123). iwreooucriON $ Communicating thoughts and feelings Practicalities are important, but just as important, and perhaps more ‘motivating, is the ability to communicate in a way which reflects your personality, feelings and opinions. That's winy most of the Devonne cowessanions and Cowversenion macnice ‘work towards practising typical conversations we have to ‘establish and maintain friendships: + share and talk through problems pp. 24-25 + network and make small talk pp. 98-99 This is also why we constantly give students the chance to exchange their ideas, through Srevanc, practice actNities in Vocanuiatr and Granwas, the lead-ins to Reaoine and Lsrewine and discussions about the texts. Understanding other cultures Students will best understand other cultures by talking with other students, which the various speaking activities in Outcomes always ‘encourage. However, many classrooms may not have people from a large mix of backgrounds, which is why we use texts «with international contexts and reflecting other cultures ‘throughout the world — including Britain, students come to realise they share many of the same desires and concerns! ‘Among others, you'll read and hear about: + recent historical milestones in four different countries, pp. 86-87 + the Electoral system Swiss style pp. 30-32 Native speaker notes also draw attention to ways fluent speakers express themselves, which may be different to the neutral international language that we generally present. KEY LANGUAGE There were five guides to the input at Advanced level - the communicative outcomes (outlined in Outcomes Goals), the Frequency of words, ‘naturalness’ of usage, student autonomy and teacher-student expectations or interest. For example in’describing people’ (pp.20-21) students need to know a number of core adjectives which are presented and practised in Vocasuany.The practice gets them to think cf language which might go with these words and the OVB provides Further help in terms of collocations. usramwc then gives a model conversation, Laxaunce areas draws attention to the grammar around the word he's/ she's one of those people ‘who... Denon conversanons teaches expressions to give Your impression. Granuan ok at using would to give opinions about ‘people politely and provides a fuller context for the vocabulary. This s typical of the way language input is focused on helping students achieve the stated communicative outcome, but not all language learning can be developed in this way. lot of vocabulary may be very frequent but not specific to any one topic (eg. issue, unite, refer). The language highlighted through texts is largely of this nature. The exercises and OVB, then show a range of natural collocations. Similarly, some 6 Ourcomes grammar may not be fundamental to a conversation in the way we saw with describing people” Here, we make the choice based on what students and teachers expect to be covered at this level or have tested in exams, This may be’exam grammar, but we try to give natural sounding examples. Input is also decided on the basis that students need to learn ‘outside the classroom. The word families strand in Vocamaany, the OVB language boxes and Reapine shows students how words are formed. This helps them recognise and learn new words in their own studies. The same motives underlie Laxcunce xrrins, but with a focus on grammar. Finally, students and non-native speaker teachers often express an interest in colloquia} language and idioms. The "Narn sreaxte nore provides explanations and examples ofthis in contrast to the normal input, which can be freely used and Understood in contexts where English sa lingua franca, KEY TO LEARN ‘There are many ways to learn but it seems there are a few essentials: + Students need to notice. + Students need to understand. + Students need to practise ~ spoken, written, receptive. + Students need to make mistakes. + Students need to repeat these steps a lot Noticing and understanding Obviously the exercises in Gaamman and Vocanwaty encourage students to notice and understand, Visuals and clear explanations of vocabulary and exampies of cotlacations in the OVB reinforce meaning. The LLwncuacerarenus exercise trains students to notice and consider how English compares with their own language. Practice Students always have a chance to practise language. This goes from very controlled remember and test’.and gap: fills to freer role-play and personalised speaking. Communecaion ‘erwmes in this Teacher's book provide more practice. Making mistakes Not all teaching and input can or should be provided by the coursebook. We allknowy from experience and research that people learn new language when they are stcupgling to express something and the’correct'or better ‘word s given. This i also why we have lots of speaking activities. They are not just oppartunities for students to practise what they know they are chances for them to try to say something new,stretch themselves and make mistakes, which you can then correct Repetition Seeing a word once is not enough! Some say you need to see and understand vocabulary ten times before you have learnt to use it! Maybe grammar takes even longer. Recycling and Revision is therefore a key part of the design of. (Outcomes. For example, the OVB, Worsoox and ExamView® allow unit-by-unit revision, while Rewew after every four units ‘ensures further revision ata later date. With grammar, students can revise after the class by using the ‘Gevymu seenence and exercises, the Womaoex oF MyOutcomes, Grammar structures are often looked at in several contexts over the course and at various levels. Remew units test grammar and you can also create tests with ExamView®, Apart from this revision we try to repeatedly re-use language from Vocasuant in Usewina and READING; in Grammar and Geant rercance; in Devtcrm conveasaions in workbook texts: exercises and texts in other units of the Student's book and even in other levels ofthe series.And as we have seen, Srewcns and Cowversanon racnee allow students to re-use language they've learnt In terms of speaking, esearch suggests that students can improve performance with repetition. Within the first two pages of each unit there are often several opportunities to hhave conversations around the same topic as we saw with “describing people’ through Voeasuiry or Gram practice, Devito convussarons and Convesanon acres. The Review Units also encourage students to look back and repeat speaking tasks KEY TO TEACH ‘Most teachers need of want material that: + is quick and easy to prepare + caters for mixed level classes + motivates students (Quick and easy to prepare A coursebook is easy to use when the relation between input and outcomes is clear and we hope you already see that is the case with Outcomes, However,other aspects of the design should help you just pick up the book and teach: +a limited number of sections appear in all units +a regular structure to the units a variety of familiar tasks double-pages can exist as unique lessons but s units allow you to easily continue + straightforward rubrics in Student's book fully explain tasks, + Grammar and Vocabulary have clear links to texts + OVB follows the spreads of the book so you and your students can easily look up words in class. ‘Mixed level classes Students often start at different levels within a lass and so the input in Outcomes Advanced revises and extends language encountered at Upper intermediate. However the exercises and design of Outcomes also works for multi-level classes, + OVB The Outcomes Vocabulary Builder allows weaker students to easly look up new words, before, during and after class, because it follows the spreads of the book. Stronger students benefit from the OVB because it gives ‘extra input through collocation lists, extra language boxes and practice exercises + Grammar The short explanations help weaker students, ‘with exercises in the unis. The grammar reference helps weaker students with more examples, but stronger students wil ke the extra information that is always given, + Easy to difficult Whether itis grammar or vocabulary, reading or listening, we usually move from easier to more dificult tasks in each section. For example, reading texts ‘often allow language to be pre taught, the fist tasks are then based on general understanding and further tasks are more detailed. + Translation Several exercises including Lancuac pens encourage students to translate. Translation is particularly important for weaker students who benefit from the support oftheir mother tongue and bilingual dictionaries. in monolingual classes especialy it allows stonger students to help others in the cass by providing the translations + Test and remember Tasks lke this are comforting for weaker students, but they can also be made more challenging for stronger students by asking them to remember more + Nanve sau nores anc Lancuce arn These offer extra input for stronger students and classes. You might consider Cropping them for weaker classes. + Texcatr's none There are more ideas for dealing with multi-level classes in ths book -particuarly through the wand Auromusn features Motivating students As‘ teacher motivating students will bbe a major part of your job; however, we knovy a coursebook can often work against student motivation by having, itelevant or boring content, unclear, unrealistic or unfulfilled ‘outcomes or simply by a dull design. Outcomes helps you motivate students by having: + outcomes matching students, wants and needs + a clear menu of input and outcomes at the start of each unit, + input and tasks that carefully match those outcomes, + a manageable number of keywords to learn in the OVB. + texts based on authentic sources that we think you'll find by turns informative. funny. even moving. + a range of speaking tasks that allow for play, humour and {20Ssip, a5 well as serious discussion + afresh design with bright, interesting illustration ‘The CEF and Level There is nota direct conelation between publishers'leveis and the CEF Completing Upper intermediate wll not mean a student has reached 82 and completing Advanced is not equivalent to reaching C1. That's because the EF Gescriptions of level or the LTE can-do statements donot exactly describe content, bt describe someone's performance ‘na language. We have used can-do statements from the C1 level at Acvanced level as 2 guide towhat tasks and outcomes students want to progress towards. However, at this level students’ performance in doing any of the speaking, reacing, listening ot writing tasks may be assessed using CEF scales 235 being 82 (+), C1. if students are regularly outsice the range (of B2 (+),C1 (9, they are probably atthe wrong level fortis materia ITRODUCHON 7 01 CITIES Dosa In this unit, students p Cet eu eae problems and ways of dealing with them, anc telling urban myths.
