The structures covered tie in with the Cambridge KET and PET programmes and the Common European Framework Levels ‘At Waystage to B1 Threshold, ‘The 50 units are listed in the Contents list on pages 2-3. Each unit offers activities at three levels focused around ‘the same topic: for less able or weaker students for more able students for able students who respond to challenging tasks Using the activities ‘Vocabulary is graded according to topic and level. Some topics require more advanced vocabulary and students at all levels will find dictionaries or teacher input useful. The language used is natural and appropriate to the topic and the age group. Students and teachers will find the activities easy to use and the topics motivating. ‘Most units open with a global text, which can be accessed at different levels of difficulty for each of the three stages. For example, elementary students may only need to circle ‘examples of the target structure within the text. Less confident students might need to be encouraged to tackle ‘the more complex texts, Explain that students don't need to understand every word in order to complete the task, ‘and show how simple the task is by doing one or two ‘examples. Photocopy the whole of your chosen unit for each student. Students accessing the material at Fly level may need to ‘efer back to information or illustrations at Enter level ‘Students may want to select activities from within different levels. ‘The types of activity are varied and include individual ‘work, pairwork and groupwork, homework and extended research suggestions. Activities may be open or closed and lead on to discussion and extension work. ‘Organising the classroom ‘Before handing out the Timesaver photocopies, organise students in the classroom into similar ability levels so that they can easily form into pairs and groups when they need to, Altematively, leave it to students to find an appropriate partner or join a group at the right level. ‘Tirning will vary according to class mix and level. One approach is to set a time limit for the whole class and ask students to complete what they can in the time given, Fast finishers at Step up level, for example, can complete the more basic work at Enter level or attempt a more challenging task at Fly level. Slow finishers can complete ‘the work at home, Get students to check their answers individually or check ‘together as a whole class activity. You'll find the answers at ‘the back of the book. Topics Each unit is centred around a specific topic. These dip into the lives of British teenagers, covering things they do, what they read, life at school, and cultural events. Here are some background notes, including web addresses which will provide useful additional information: Everyday life: A survey of British teenage chatrooms reveals that favourite chat subjects include friends, sgirlsboys, personality, exams and school stress, dreams, ‘music, part-time jobs, personal appearance and out-of- ‘school activities. There are units in the Mixed-ability ‘Timesaver on all these topics. For example, we meet Black Rose, a successful college band who have played several local gigs (See page 19). Many Sixth Form collages in the UK have thriving music scenes, some with their own recording studios and labels. Playing, listening to and writing music isa huge part of many teenagers’ ives. A favourite summer activity is going ‘to music festivals - there's one every weekend, Graphology {see page 49) isa growing science, now widely used by companies and organisations when they are selecting applicants for jobs. It also has fun applications, allowing people to analyse their own personality through ‘heir handwriting. Students in the UK are increasingly suffering from exam stress (ee page 58), and there's advice on how to combat it.
