Many teachers ask the question:
How do I fully integrate the way many aspects of the English syllabus into a comprehensive study of English and how it works?
Today, more than ever before, students need to be able to read, write and understand a wide variety of texts. To do this students have to:
- develop a range of comprehension strategies
- improve their knowledge of grammar and punctuation
- practise their speaking and listening skills
- read and write a wide range of fiction and nonfiction text types
We developed Targeting English to meet this challenge!
The 12 integrated units in each Targeting English student book provide a clear model for teaching and learning that builds strong skills in:
1. Reading: Read and explore a variety of texts on a topic using full-colour, real-life extracts.
2. Comprehension: Use a variety of comprehension strategies to deepen student understanding of texts.
3. Speaking and Listening: Reinforce clear speaking and attentive listening skills with integrated partner activities. The CD-ROM in the Teaching Guide has audio samples for whole-class activities.
4. Visual Literacy: Actively builds visual literacy skills by focusing on pictures, diagrams and student drawings.
5. Text types: Understand that people read and write texts for different purposes and for different audiences.
6. Writing: Improve writing skills with models, scaffolds and regular practice.
7. Grammar: Build grammar and usage skills in context with activities integrated into each unit.
8. Assessment: Makes test preparation an integrated part of the teaching process. Each book has six NAPLAN*-style mutiple-choice tests. The Teaching Guide has a range of other assessment activities provided as photocopy-masters.
