Overview

This scheme of work provides ideas about how to construct and deliver a
course with suggested teaching activities and learning resources to use in
the classroom.

Recommended prior knowledge
It is assumed that learners will have achieved a certain proficiency in
English which equates to intermediate level or above.

Outline
This scheme of work is divided into eight topic-based units, each providing
practice in the syllabus's interrelated skills of speaking, listening,
reading and writing. Each unit contains a series of activities linked to a
common topic area. Each activity incorporates suggestions for a lesson
plan, designed to engage with a particular syllabus assessment objective or
objectives. Each activity can act as a stand-alone lesson (but may take
more than one lesson to complete); a unit can also be taught as a
progressive scheme of work. The activities may be followed in order, or you
may prefer to select your own activity-based path through the unit.
Some activities feature examination practice exercises to print out for (or
email to) your learners. These follow the format of the examination papers,
and may help teachers who are using the units for revision purposes. There
is no prescribed order to the units; teachers may prefer to start with a
topic area that they feel is the most accessible for their particular
learners. Some teachers may prefer to navigate across the units with a view
to focusing on a particular skill (e.g. working through all the activities
relating to Listening).

The units within this scheme of work are:

Unit 1: Travel and tourism
Unit 2: Shopping and the consumer society
Unit 3: Science and nature
Unit 4: Health, fitness and sport
Unit 5: Family and lifestyles
Unit 6: Media and films
Unit 7: Festivals and celebrations
Unit 8: Environmental issues
Content and structure
Assessment objectives (AOs): R1-R4 (Reading); W1-W6 (Writing); L1-L4
(Listening); S1-S6 (Speaking)

Activities are directed at Core level (Basic) with suggestions for
extension work suitable for learners aiming at Extended level
(Challenging). Opportunities for differentiation are offered, but there is
the potential for differentiation by resource, length, grouping, expected
level of outcome, and degree of support by teacher, throughout the scheme
of work. Timings for activities and feedback are left to the judgment of
the teacher, according to the level of the learners and size of the class.
Length of time allocated to a task is another possible area for
differentiation.

It is expected that most of the activities for the classroom (rather than
for homework), will be interactively completed in pairs or small groups,
provoking discussion. Learners will benefit from a variety of approaches
and resource-types.

Teacher support
The up-to-date resource list for Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second
Language (0510 and 0511) can be found on the Cambridge International
Examinations website www.cie.org.uk. In addition, the password-protected
Teacher Support website at http://teachers.cie.org.uk provides access to
specimen and past question papers, mark schemes and other support
materials. We offer online and face-to-face training; details of
forthcoming training opportunities are posted on the website.

Resources
An up-to-date resource list for the Cambridge IGCSE Second Language English
(syllabus 0510 and 0511) can be found at www.cie.org.uk

The activities and learning exercises in this scheme of work are
suggestions and there are many other useful activities to be found in the
materials referred to in the learning resource list. We also encourage you
to be creative in finding and developing the use of local resources. We
encourage teachers to develop and provide materials and activities to blend
with the Cambridge resources and support in this scheme of work. You will
have your own local resources to hand and can develop new resources as
necessary. Encourage learners to talk about things which are relevant to
themselves. Learners could bring in their own pictures and photos (these
could be real or fictional families, for example), local newspaper and
magazine pictures, stories, advertisements, recipes, restaurant menus and
interviews they have found on the internet which interest them. Short
excerpts from films or TV programmes, such as police series, court dramas
may also be used or adapted for use in the classroom.
