INTRODUCTION The study guide is divided into four units and 18 lessons. Each lesson is taught over two weeks. Units 1 and 3 have five themed lessons each, and Units 2 and 4 have four themed lessons each. At the end of Units 2 and 4, learners write examinations. Each lesson has four sections: Listening and Speaking, Reading and Viewing, Writing and Presenting, and Language Structures and Conventions. Each section contains activities. At the beginning of each lesson is a list of the things that will be covered in that lesson. At the end of each lesson are remedial and extension activities, which may be completed if time allows. Each section is broken down into activities. Some of these activities will be used as part of formal assessment tasks. Refer to the portfolio book for all formal assessment tasks. Addendum A at the back of the book contains the rubrics that will be used to assess your assessment tasks.
