Upbeat StarterCommon European Framework (CEF)

Learning and Exam skillsContent & Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)

Upbeat Starter is the entry level for the Upbeat series, which is intended for teenage learners. It follows a carefully developed structural / grammatical syllabus highlighting the communicative function of each structure. The regular Use your English boxes introduce frequently used communicative phrases and expressions which are outside the structural syllabus. There is graded development of speaking, writing, listening and reading using up to date topics which will appeal to the target users. Students learn fundamental academic learning skills such as skimming and scanning reading texts, prediction and listening for gist before detailed listening. There is also regular training in pronunciation.

The topics start from the familiar experiences of learners but then extend the ideas to develop the students’ world experience and knowledge. Learners also learn functional language for everyday situations such as shopping.

In terms of both language and communication Upbeat Starter provides thorough coverage of A1 level, giving learners a real communicative ability in basic English.

Three unusual features are [1] the red ‘transparent bookmark’ which creates instant cloze texts. These focus the learners’ attention on key learning items, [2] the regular ‘solve it’ questions which invite students to consider more deeply reading and listening texts, in order to solve simple problems [3] the wide variety of extra practice activities at the back which make the book suitable for mixed ability classes.

In addition to the workbook, the CD Multi-ROM provides linked grammar, vocabulary activities and games for the computer or interactive white board. Upbeat Starter is a book written by highly respected and experienced authors, writing at their best! © Pearson Longman 2010
