AHEAD
This bock aims to help students iearn English in a dynamic and
practical way, so that when they finish this level, they can communicate
in English for basic social and academic purposes. By the end of this
level, students should be able to understand main.ideas in simple
spoken and written texts, They will also be able to interact in situations
where English is needed where they live or when they travel. Help your
students Get Ahead! 7 and become successful in English by using this
educational package.
The Get Ahead educational package is comprised of:
Student Book
A comprehensive guide and practice book that will guide students to
learn English in the classroom or at home.
Reader
A collection of stories, essays, articles and other types of text that
will complement what your students learn in ciass through interesting
content.
‘Teacher's Guide
Detailed suggestions on how to conduct a class using Get Ahead! |. There
are suggestions for extra activities to challenge demanding classes or to
support students who need more guidance, as well as different tools to
enrich the teaching-learning process and simplify teachers’ planning,
Electronic Component: CD
ACD with all the aucio tracks from the Get Ahead program and
images you can use to complement classes, The CD has been created
to contain different types of audio so that students can develop their
listening skill. The images contained here are support material for
optional extra activities. The Teacher's Guide will suggest when and
how to use them in Poster Activities boxes, but we are sure you will
find other creative ways to exploit them as wellINTRODUCTION
The Student Book
The Get Ahead! 1. Student Book has been written taking into account all the requirements
stated in the curriculum established by the Mexican Ministry of Education (SEP).
Units have been put together in such @ way that Cornmunication is highlighted form the
start, We open each unit with a trigger question that invites the students to get into the
topic and expioits their background knowledge.
The unit is then divided into sections that have different functions:
[EAENT] cons
STOP AND THINK about...
(CERT movins
STOP AND THINK about...
CEMENT) aneao
wa reading CORNER
CHECK!
self ASSESMENT
The unit starts with tesks in which students interact with a listening or
written text, or complete a task that challenges them to use previous
knowledge and to see new input in context.
Students solve reflective tasks that may deal with language, culture,
self-awareness, learning to fearn, or being with others, In this first
reflective stop, they deal with one or two aspects only.
Students are now ready to move on using the target language in
scaffolded tasks that give them a higher challenge or where new
content is integrated, This is the longest section of @ unit.
This second reflective stop, will deal with four of the areas mentioned
before: language, cutture, self-awareness, learning to learn, or being
with others.
At this stage, students can get together the information they generated
towards their final product. They can put the skills they have acquired
or practiced, in presentations. This page gives detailed suggestions on
which information to recall and how to organize presentations. Here you
will 2lso find a task in which students reflect on the final product.
This section connects students with their reading book, encouraging
to undertake simple tasks before, while and after reading the material,
Students solve here e short test that will help them evaluate how well they
can deal with material from the unit. This is a formative evaluation tool.
Students read an inventory of can-do statements that reflect the expected
learning outcomes or achievements of the unit and decide how well they
perform. This is an important tool for formative evaluation.
As students progress through the sections, they gain more confidence and develop their
language skills in a practical end critical manner.INTRODUCTION
Throughout the Student Book units you will find different icons that can help you and your
students make a better use of the different sections, and / or give you an indication of the
type of activities at hand.
This icon indicates that the activity can or should be conducted in pairs,
This is used to indicate work in groups.
ss This is used to indicate whole-class work or discussions.
‘packs This icon tells you there is a recorded track listen to contained in the audio files
of the CD.. The number of the track will tell you which audio script to read in
8, the section Audio Scripts.
This icon indicates work that students should save as evidence of their learning,
and as information that will be useful to create the final project or product in the
section Get Ahead! You might consider having a detailed look at the material
created in this sections, as it provides opportunity for formative evaluation.
When you see this icon, it means that the activity will be useful for a
presentation of students’ work near the end of the unit. You and your students
can check the Get Aheaa! page to find out what the presentation will be about
and to understand how this information could help.

WL This icon recommends the point when you can tell students to start reading the
corresponding text for the unit
54 This icon will direct you to work on different sections of the Reading Corner
= page so that your students can relate the content of the reader to the content
in the unit.
This icon will direct you to a language summary at the end of the book that can
be useful to understand how specific aspects of the language work
10INTRODUCTION
The Student Book contains other useful sections that learners should
get familiar with and that you can exploit to support them more in the
process of learning,
There is a Get Started! page at the beginning of the book to review
basic knowledge before starting the program.
After units 3, 7 4nd 10 your will find:
A review unit where students can revisit and consolidate knowledge
covered in the period.
A term test that your students can complete so you can get an idea of
progress. You can use this test for formative or (informal) summative
evaluation.
The review units and term tests have been placed after these units
considering the most common distribution of a school calender yeer.
We believe that having a period to review and evaluate content in
these three moments, your planning throughout the year will be more
productive and the learning outcomes will be better consolidated.
In the final pages of the Student Book you will find:
A Language Reference Section that
complements some important language
points of the target language of each unit,
Within the units, the icon will tell you when to
use it
Glossary A comprehensive list of key vocabulary from each
unit with simple and clear definitions.
Strategies Summary A section that summarizes the leerning to learn
strategies students cover in each unit. This section can be used at any
point in the program and not necessarily in the order of the units.
Digital Skills summary. Throughout the book students will find IT Stop
boxes that guide them to reflect on uses of technology in their learning
process. This section summarizes the tios covered in the |T Stop
boxes and, as the strategies summary, can be used at any point in the
program and not necessarily in the order of the units.
Resorces for students. Recommended print and electronic sources for
students.
11INTRODUCTION
Reader
Reader is an anthology with texts closely connected to the target language in each unit
of the Students Book, but we have given texts a fresh outlook that will make the content
different and more attractive to your students,
Texts in this book seek to motivate extensive reading through a variety of genres that
includes articles, stories, a comic and a script. Each text is complementes with an optional
set of activities that students can complete independently or working with you as part of
their class. .
At the end of the reading book, there is a glossary for key vocabulary to support
indeoendent reading. After the glossary, you will find optional follow-up suggestions,
recommending further reading of the same type and / or the same topic as well as
additional projects connected to the texts is also stiggested for each reading.
Content, questions and extra suggestions seek to help students engage in the reading and
establish connections between the text, themselves and their world. Connecting a text at
a personal level and then to our reality helps readers become critical thinkers, so we hope
you don't miss the opportunity to exploit this component and the support material that
accompanies it.

13Warmers and Fillers
It is always @ good idea to start a class with a short, fun activity that can engage students
into the topic you will cover. Warmers can also bring students’ attention into the classroom
and into English. The list of activities we offer can also help you “fill-in” moments when
you think a change of pace is needed or to end your classes on a nice note. Check this list
regularly and vary ways ta start or end your class!
These activities are 100% optional. In order to include them formally in your plan, you will
need to consider if time is available, which depends on your particular context and class
needs. All of the activities need very little preparation time and they would take 10 to 15
minutes to develop in your class.
Hang-man
Think of a word connected to the topic of your class (e.g. services).
Write on the board one line per letter of the word. Tell students to
shout out letters that are part of the mystery word. If they guess a
letter, write it on the correct space. If they give you a letter that does
Not belong to the word, start drawing a stick figure hangman (one
line or geometrical figure at a time). If your drawing gets “hanged”,
students lose the game. If they guess the word correctly, you can
start a conversation on the topic you wrote,
Body-to-body
Ask students to stand up and make space at the center of the room
s0 everyone can move freely. Alternatively, you can try this activity
outside the classroom. Tell students you are going to say 2 phrase
tike "Hand to hand” and that this will mean they have to put their
hand together with someone else's. No one should be left without
a partner. Say the phrase again and tell them to change partners.
They should NOT repeat the same partner in each turn. Change
the part of the body "Ankle to ankle” and have students find a new
partner, this time they have to join their ankle with someone else's.
Continue in the same manner for seven turns, This activity is good
to review parts of the body, but it is also useful to have students
mingle in a fun way and then pair them up in the end with someone
they haven't worked with before
Travel Chain
Make a sentence with the class, Start saying -Let’s make plans for vacation.
We're going to New York. Nominate a student to add an activity. - Let's make
plans for vacation. We're going to New York and we're going to a museum.
The next student adds something else. Keep the activity going as long as
you can. Have the class repeat the sentence together a then start a new one.
‘Adaptations: use this activity to review past: Teacher: We took a trip last year.
We went to New York. Student I: We went to New York and we bought a bag.
Student 2: We went to New York, we bought a bag and we saw.

Functional Phrase Tic-Tac-Toe
Draw a Tic-tac-toe grid on the board and on each
empty space write a phrase that the students have
studied recently. Divide the class into two large groups and tell
them they will play tic-tac-toe, but to be able to choose the square
where they will draw their cross or naught, they have to tell you
directions in the following manner: "I want to use the square that
has the phrase to [apologize]’. If they cannot express the function
of one of the phrases or sentenées they have to miss a turn. Play
with the whole class once and you can then divide the class into
teams and have them prepare a similar grid for other teams to
play with. Adaptations: You can follow a similar procedure to play
the game to review parts of speech (writing a preposition in one
square, and adverb in another, etc. Students have to ask for the
square with the preposition, etc.) You can also review vocabulary of
a unit (students tell you a synonym of the word in the space they
want to use).
Yes / No Game
Have students ask you Yes/No questions on any topic. Tell
them you wili try to answers without using the words “yes”
or "no". They can ask: Can you teach? And you can answer
Obviously! / Of course! // do it all the time. / It’s my job, etc.
For a negative answer you can use: It’s not my thing. /’m
bad at it. /I never thought about it. Have them ask you a few
more questions in that manner until they get you to make a
mistake and say yes/no or until you have modeled enough
affirmative/negative alternative responses. Have 2 volunteer
students come to the front and then the class follows the
same procedure trying to get a "yes" or "no" from the student.
The class can they play in teams.
Guess the picture
Bring a picture to the class and have student guess what the picture is
about by asking questions. They nave 10 opportunities to guess. You can
limit the game by only answering ask yes / no questions like: /s it an object?
Is ita place? Can you drive in this place? etc. You can let them information
questions like: Where was the picture taken? How many people/objects are
there? What are the people doing? If they are allowed to use information
auestions, they have to guess exactly what is in the picture. Invite 2 volunteer
student to come to the front, give him/her a different picture and continue
the activity in the same manner.

Slap the board!
Write on the board vocabulary words you wish to review in random
order. Divide the class into two large groups and have groups form
a line and stand in front of the board. Tell students that you will
read a definition of one of the words on the board. The first student
in each of the lines has to run and slap the correct word. The first
students to get to the word and slap it gets 2 point for their tear.
Play the game until all students have had a chance to participate.
What's that word?
Have students cut @ sheet of paper into six
parts and copy in each square a word from
a reading you have been working with. Ask
students to write a definition of the word
on the back part of the paper. The definition
cannot contain the word. Ask students to work
in groups of six and pull their words together.
Have them eliminate items that are repeated
‘and then organize the rest of the cards with
the definition side up into a pile. Have teams
exchange piles and then, students in the
team take turns to take a card and read the
definition. If they guess the word correctly they
get to keep the card, if not, they put the card
back in the pile.
Nice to see you!
Tell students to have ready a dlank piece of paper and a pencil/pen. Have
students write a note for the person sitting to their right. The last person ina
line writes for the 1 person an the other side. The note should say something
nice to the person and then ask 3 question. e.9. Hi Brian! You're wearing a
nice sweater today. Where did you buy it? or Hi, Carolina! You're a good
friend. Who is your best friend? You can demo a pair of examples by asking
a volunteer student to write an example for you on the board, Students pass
the paper to the person sitting next to them who then writes a reply and
gives the paper back. You can try this activity in several classes, asking them
to write to the person sitting behind them, in front of them or to their left.UNIT1 Community Services
