The Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC)

The Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC) is a large collection of exam scripts written by students taking Cambridge ESOL English exams around the world. It contains over 220,000 scripts and is growing all the time. It forms

part of the Cambridge International Corpus (CIC) and it has been built up by Cambridge University Press and Cambridge ESOL. The CLC contains scripts from:

ss STUDENTS

ss DIFFERENT lRST LANGUAGES

ss DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

Exercises in the Student’s Book which are based on the CLC are indicated by this icon .

What the Workbook contains

ssEight units designed for homework and self-study. Each unit contains full exam practice of IELTS Reading and Listening tasks.

ss IELTS Writing tasks with model answers.

ss&URTHERRPRACTICEEOFFTHE grammar and vocabulary taught in the Student’s Book.

ss!N audio CD containing all the listening material for the Workbook.

What the Teacher’s Book contains

ssDetailed notes for the eight units in the Student’s Book which:

– state the objectives of each unit

–give step-by-step advice on how to treat each part of each Student’s Book unit

–give supporting information to teachers and students about IELTS tasks

–offer suggestions for alternative treatments of the materials in the Student’s Book

–offer a wide range of ideas for extension activities to follow up Student’s Book activities

–contain comprehensive answer keys for each activity and exercise, including suggested answers where appropriate.

ssEight photocopiable activities, one for each unit, designed to provide enjoyable recycling of work done in the Student’s Book unit, but without a specific exam focus. All photocopiable activities are accompanied by teacher’s notes outlining:

–the objectives of the activity

–a suggested procedure for handling the activity in the classroom.

ssEight photocopiable Word lists containing lexical items encountered in the Student’s Book units or recording scripts.

We suggest that the best time to use these lists is towards the end of the unit, perhaps before doing the Speaking or Writing sections. Students may use these lists for self-study and reinforcement of lexis encountered in the unit. Here are some suggestions as to how students can use them which you can discuss with them.

–Students should use the page reference given to find the items in the unit and study how the words/ phrases are used in context.

–They can use a learner’s dictionary (such as the CALD) to compare the dictionary definitions with the definitions given in the Word list. In many cases, the definitions will coincide, but they will be able to study further examples in the dictionary.

–Students can annotate the Word lists themselves or copy items to their notebooks for further study.

–You can suggest to students that they should not try to memorise all the items, but they should select a number of words and phrases that seem most useful

to them and try to use them when doing speaking and writing tasks.

ssEight photocopiable Vocabulary extension word lists

The words and phrases in the photocopiable Vocabulary extension word lists have been selected using the Cambridge International Corpus and relate to the topics of the unit. They are intended to provide students with extra vocabulary when doing IELTS tasks.

We suggest that you hand these lists out near the beginning of the unit. Most of the words and phrases do not occur in the units themselves, but students may be able to use some of them during the speaking or writing activities in the unit. Here are some suggestions on how these word lists can be used:

–Ask students to go through the word lists in conjunction with a good learner’s dictionary such as the CALD and check how the words/phrases are used in the examples (many of the definitions will be the same).

–Ask students to select 5–10 items which they would like to be able to use themselves and ask them to write their own sentences using the items.

–Encourage students to copy the items they find most useful to their notebooks.

–Ask students to refer to these word lists before doing speaking or writing tasks in the units. Give students time to look at the relevant list and think (and discuss with you) how they can use words/phrases before they do the task itself.

–When students do the tasks, pay particular attention to any use they make of items from the lists and give them feedback on how correctly they have used an item.

ssFour photocopiable Progress tests, one for every two units, to test grammar and vocabulary taught in the units.

What the Class Audio CDs contain

There are two audio CDs containing listening and speaking material for the eight units of the Student’s Book plus the Listening Practice test. The listening and speaking materials are indicated by different-coloured icons for each of the CDs.

Extension idea Tell students that, in IELTS, it is important to use a range of vocabulary appropriately. Working with words with similar or synonymous meanings helps to build vocabulary.

Write these words on the board and ask students to find words in the exercise which are close in meaning to them (though not all synonyms) and to decide if they need to change the preposition or not.
