Hey There! Unit Walk-Through

Each Student Book consists of a Welcome! unit and eight regular units. The Welcome! unit in each book is intended to transition students into the forthcoming lessons.

In Student Book 1, the Welcome! unit provides beginning students with basic vocabulary and everyday expressions.

In Student Books 2 to 4, the Welcome! unit reviews some of the language learned in the previous levels through games and other fun activities.

Each unit opens with a collage of photos of familiar scenes and people.

The collage is followed by questions related to the theme of the unit. The lead-in page is intended to stimulate interest in the unit topic, discuss relevant ideas, and review some basic vocabulary students will encounter in each unit.

It also outlines the Communication, Grammar, and Vocabulary objectives of the unit.

The Vocabulary page presents the unit vocabulary through pictures and on audio. Carefully structured vocabulary practice allows students to use the words through meaningful oral and written activities.

The articles in the Reading section offer a wide variety of text types, including articles from teen magazines, narratives, opinions, personal experiences, and sketches.

Different types of comprehension exercises and discussion activities help students understand and appreciate more fully the various texts.

The Grammar two-page section includes the following:

eye-catching grammar charts

clear and simple presentations of
forms, meaning, and use of the various structures

carefully sequenced grammar practice
Each grammar presentation is cross referenced to a section called Grammar Reference, which is found at the back of each Student Book and which will help students work independently from their
teacher at any time.

Pronunciation practice is integrated into every unit. Each pronunciation lesson focuses on sounds, stress, and intonation.

Each Listening page opens with a unique combination of large, colorful photographs and illustrations that students examine closely.

The large piece of artwork as well as the various questions and activities about the artwork set the context for the Listening activities as well as introduce the key vocabulary. The comprehension exercises that follow the listening develop the students’ ability to understand the speech of native English speakers.

The speaking activities are a natural follow-up to the listening activities. Students practice and manipulate orally the functions and language previously learned in less controlled ways. The speaking activities may be done in pairs, groups, or as a whole class, depending on the teacher’s preference.

The Pair work section consists of additional interactive activities and provides students further opportunity for communicative use of the language. Students work in pairs and use the target language in a less controlled manner, thus fostering self-confidence.

Each Student Book devotes an entire page to developing writing skills. Micro skills, such as use of punctuation, spelling, transition words, and so on are developed from the start.

The Writing rule box highlights practical and useful writing tips that students immediately apply.

The guided writing tasks that follow the writing rules are carefully sequenced and cover a wide range of texts, both formal and informal.

A model is always provided for students to follow in their own writing.

The Final task appears in odd-numbered units. It consolidates and personalizes the language just learned as well as applies the new knowledge to the real world. Each Final task is project-based and culminates in a writing activity. It is designed to give students more fluency practice.

The Crosscurricular page is called “English for…”. This section aims to introduce specific vocabulary and content in English related to other curriculum subjects such as science, math, music, technology, history, social studies, biology, geography, and other content areas relevant to each level. The Crosscurricular themes are normally topics that students will have already encountered in the school curriculum. Students are therefore able to apply their knowledge of the various content areas to the activities, while learning how to express some of the concepts in English.

Each even-numbered unit ends with a review. This page reviews the key grammar, vocabulary, and writing concepts from each unit. The review page enables students to confirm what they have learned as well as identify specific parts in the unit that they need to do further practice on.

The Culture spot is a two-page section that allows students to focus on a specific sociocultural topic.

It consists of an interesting reading about a specific culture, followed by comprehension questions.

Break time activities consist of games, puzzles, and other fun activities. This section is intended to provide students with the needed break from the regular lessons at the same time as they review some of the key language from previous units.

The movie pages are project based. Students do fun activities related to their favorite movies, actors and genres. The movie activities provide further opportunities to use English in fun and less-threatening situations.

Fast finisher activities are extra readings and activities intended to provide additional challenge to faster students, thereby averting boredom and restlessness.

The Workbook includes further practice in vocabulary, reading, grammar, listening, and writing. Although the Workbook activities are suitable for self-study, they can also be used as extra material to be done in class.

Each Workbook unit ends with a Selfassessment page that students complete. This page guides students to assess their own learning by encouraging them to give specific examples of the language they have learned in each unit. The Self-assessment page concludes with a bar graph where students rate their progress.
