We want to improve on the approach to grammar teaching that relies on abstract, verbal descriptions. It’s not accidental that when we understand something, we say, ‘Oh!

From the student’s point of view, grammar can seem to be an apparently endless list of structures – each of which operates in a different way. It’s terrifying.

Hello! We want to introduce our new course Look!

Why Look!? Because this is the course that brings a visual dimension to learning English.

The new visual dimension is called Graphic Grammar. We want to improve on the approach to grammar teaching that relies on abstract, verbal descriptions. It’s not accidental that when we understand something, we say, ‘Oh! I see!’ To see in English also means to understand. Visualising is synonymous with understanding. In Look! we want to make use of the powerful and innate human capacity to visualise. So, with Graphic Grammar, we show how the grammar operates. Our little band of Graphic Grammar characters show the meaning and the form of new structures, and at the same time create an effortless mnemonic which assists learners to recall the image and therefore the grammar.

From the student’s point of view, grammar can seem to be an apparently endless list of structures – each of which operates in a different way. It’s terrifying. Graphic Grammar shows that certain operations follow a simple pattern. Once learners see this, they can use the patterns correctly with new structures.

We just want to mention The visual dimension, The simplicity Of grammar you see! A fresh, new reaction To ‘conceptual abstraction’. Our benevolent band, Want to give you a hand. They’re funny and memorable Look! and you’ll see.

Of course, you can’t make a course out of a single idea. There are several elements that make Look! an attractive course:

Each level of Look! has a separate mystery-based adventure story, with confident and resourceful young teens working out what to do and how to behave responsibly. They get into trouble, they take risks, have arguments, laugh a lot and end up solving the mystery. All this is done in simple everyday language that your students will understand and appreciate.

In Look!, we help learners to use their memory to help with their learning. The syllabus is simple, vocabulary is tightly controlled and contextualised and thoroughly recycled. New vocabulary is introduced and explained and students use the fold-over flap to check what they have learnt. The vocabulary is reinforced through the Picture Dictionaries – with Vernon the Vampire leading a fun and memorable resource. Vernon pops up again in a cartoon strip in the Workbook.

Students are often thinking about exams in the future and writing is often the main element. Unfortunately it’s also the most difficult skill to master. Look! anticipates what students will need with gentle steps to guide them. It introduces learners to a variety of text types, writing tips and simple, step-by-step writing tasks.

In the end, why do you choose one book rather than another? In part, it’s through a process of analysis and discussion about what you want from a course, but whatever the methodological and philosophical strengths of a course, in the end you want to work with a book you like. We think you’ll find that Look! is approachable from the first glance – it has a simple layout, great photos and illustrations, appealing characters and clearly labelled sections. And no tricks! What you see is what you get. We want you to pick up the book and say, ‘Hey! I can enjoy teaching this!’ And we want learners to flick through and say, ‘Oh! I see!’

Bem-vindo a Look!

Bem-vindo a Look!, o segundo volume de um curso de inglês em dois níveis para jovens. Look! é

um projeto novo, concebido com a participação ativa de alunos e professores de todo o mundo.

Look! conduz os alunos que se encontram num nível inicial de inglês ou que são false-beginners

até ao nível pré-intermédio. Do mesmo modo, Look! dirige-se a alunos iniciantes que já possuem

alguns conhecimentos de inglês, mas que, pela idade e nível em que se encontram, precisam de

desenvolver a sua aprendizagem a um ritmo constante e seguro.

Como é que Look! apoia os professores?

• Com o objetivo de proporcionar uma utilização simples, Look! apresenta os exercícios de forma

clara, tornando-os extremamente fáceis de seguir.

• A estrutura das lições é simples e orientada de tal forma que os professores não vão encontrar

surpresas nas páginas.

• A abordagem que faz à gramática é convidativa e adequada à idade dos alunos, sendo os pontos

gramaticais mostrados em contexto por personagens visuais (Graphic Grammar).

• As fotografias e os diálogos apresentam aos alunos novas personagens, novos contextos e

situações enquadradas num programa estruturado.

• O desenvolvimento claro dentro da unidade (com a clássica estrutura de ‘apresentação-prática-

-produção’) significa que os professores podem seguir este curso com confiança.

• Os estimulantes e atraentes cartazes de vocabulário com as personagens de vampiros do Picture

Dictionary vão ajudar os professores a rever o vocabulário interativamente com os alunos.

Como é que Look! apoia os alunos?

• Os alunos são motivados a aprender o novo vocabulário com um interativo e divertido dicionário

por imagens e uma badana ligada à capa do livro.

• Os alunos são incentivados não só a verificar os seus conhecimentos com ajuda da badana,

usada para tapar palavras, como a testarem-se a si próprios ou aos colegas.

• Os textos que desenvolvem as competências contemplam conteúdos atualizados para os alunos

se motivarem e aderirem aos diversos tópicos.

• No Livro do Aluno, existe um dicionário interativo e visualmente estimulante baseado numa

família de vampiros, que contém vocabulário extra para os alunos mais interessados em expandir

o seu conhecimento.

• Graças ao conceito original de Graphic Grammar, Look! irá ajudar os alunos a visualizar a

gramática e a lembrar melhor as novas regras da língua.

• A divertida secção Grammar Bite oferece aos alunos a possibilidade de aprender porções de

gramática ao longo do curso, sem serem constantemente massacrados com explicações

aborrecidas.

• Os autocolantes coloridos do Livro de Exercícios estão relacionados com os exercícios de

gramática, facilitando uma aprendizagem mais divertida.

• No Livro de Exercícios, a prática é nivelada de acordo com o nível de dificuldade, encorajando

assim os alunos com mais dificuldades.

Como é que Look! funciona?

Livro do Aluno

Look! contém uma unidade inicial e nove unidades principais. Cada unidade tem a seguinte estrutura:

Presentation

A primeira página inclui uma imagem acompanhada de um diálogo. Os alunos observam a imagem,

ouvem o diálogo e depois leem e verificam as respostas. O diálogo contém a linguagem alvo

abordada na unidade e exemplos de vocabulário e linguagem da secção Communicate.

Grammar

A gramática é apresentada em contexto; pode ser um texto, banda desenhada ou diálogo. Depois,

os alunos praticam a gramática através de exercícios controlados. A gramática está dividida em

porções fáceis de apreender – formas afirmativa e negativa, perguntas e respostas breves –, para os

alunos poderem praticar cada item separadamente antes de prosseguir para a lição seguinte.

I’m sixteen and I come from Japan. I started Summerhill when I was nine. In Japan, the school rules are very strict and students can’t change them. But here at Summerhill, we decide what classes we want to go to. I have a lot of friends. We don’t live with our families, so our friends are very important. I study drama and we can also study music. I play the piano and sing and I want to be an actor when I leave Summerhill.

Elementos especiais

Graphic Grammar

A Graphic Grammar é uma abordagem clara e visual da gramática, que permite aos alunos

ver o que acontece numa transformação gramatical. As personagens e as imagens reduzem

as limitações da explicação abstrata e oferecem uma forma clara de os alunos lembrarem e

praticarem a gramática.

Egas, o guia dos alunos nesta aventura, indica os aspetos mais importantes e úteis da gramática

como, por exemplo, que se usa has com he, she e it.

A Graphic Grammar destaca as principais alterações que são necessárias para usar corretamente

a gramática, por exemplo, contrações, formação de advérbios e graus dos adjetivos.

A Graphic Grammar ajuda os alunos a acompanhar a manipulação dos verbos em inglês. Os

sujeitos e os verbos são mostrados claramente através de um código de cores: vermelho para o

verbo ou auxiliar ativo e azul para o sujeito. Por exemplo:

A Graphic Grammar permite aos alunos reconhecerem padrões comuns na gramática. Por

exemplo, a posição de um verbo modal ou auxiliar nas perguntas:

Do you work?

Are they reading?

Como usar a Graphic Grammar na sala de aula

• Para apresentar um ponto gramatical: os alunos veem como funciona a gramática. A

apresentação é reforçada através de cartazes.

• Para reforçar os padrões verbais: é usado o código de cores no quadro, para que os alunos

possam seguir a formação.

• Para praticar: os alunos regressam às explicações da Graphic Grammar para apoio, quando

começam a usar a linguagem.

• Para correção e trabalho de recuperação: peça aos alunos para recordarem o desenho e o que

as personagens estão a fazer. Utilize os cartazes e peça aos alunos para encontrarem a forma

correta.

Egas, o guia dos alunos nesta aventura, indica os aspetos mais importantes e úteis da gramática

destaca as principais alterações que são necessárias para usar corretamente

The Memory Flap

Para que serve a Memory Flap?

A badana na capa do livro tem por objetivo tapar as palavras na caixa de vocabulário do lado

direito da página. Isso permite aos alunos testarem e reforçarem a memorização das palavras

novas.

Como é utilizada?

• Os alunos começam por verificar o significado das palavras novas ligando cada palavra a uma

imagem.

• Em seguida, ouvem, verificam e repetem as palavras.

• Depois, tapam a caixa de vocabulário com a badana e tentam recordar as palavras novas,

usando as imagens. Esta é a forma mais simples e eficaz de ativar a memorização do novo

vocabulário.

• Durante o resto dos exercícios dessa página, as palavras mantêm-se tapadas pela badana,

mas os alunos podem voltar a espreitá-las, se precisarem.

Picture Dictionaries

Look! usa técnicas de memorização para reforçar a retenção da gramática e do vocabulário. Os

Picture Dictionaries são uma forma útil de rever e alargar os conhecimentos dos alunos.

Quando usar os Picture Dictionaries

O melhor momento é após terminar uma unidade e antes de iniciar a seguinte. Dessa forma, os

alunos podem fixar o vocabulário antes de se introduzir uma nova área vocabular.

Como usar os Picture Dictionaries? Há vários métodos:

1 Fácil

A alunos pouco confiantes, peça para fazerem corresponder as imagens à lista vocabular.

Não aborde as Extra words. Depois, peça-lhes para taparem o vocabulário e faça perguntas

a diversos alunos.

2 Mais difícil

Peça aos alunos para abrirem a página do Picture Dictionary, mas tapando imediatamente a

lista de vocabulário. Depois, vá fazendo perguntas.

3 Prática complementar

No caso de alunos bastante competentes em inglês, peça-lhes para fazerem corresponder as

Extra words às imagens ou para fazerem os exercícios complementares.

4 Variações

Transforme esta atividade num jogo, dividindo a turma em dois grupos e fazendo perguntas

alternadamente; ou peça para usarem as palavras dentro de uma frase; ou pergunte quais as

palavras que rimam; ou peça para fazerem desenhos de palavras individuais.

5 Reforço

Assegure-se de que os alunos escrevem todas as palavras novas num caderno de vocabulário.

Vão precisar dessa informação quando, mais tarde, fizerem revisões.

Escrita

Look! tem um programa de escrita passo-a-passo, que incentiva os alunos a desenvolverem

gradualmente as suas competências ao nível da escrita. Também ajuda na preparação para os

testes, apresentando atividades de escrita usadas na maior parte dos testes para este nível. Os

passos são os seguintes:

1 Motivação

O tópico é introduzido logo no início da secção Skills (ou, em alguns casos, no início da

unidade). Quando chegam à tarefa de produção escrita, os alunos têm uma ideia clara do

tema que vão abordar. Incentive-os a expressar as suas opiniões sobre o tema nas atividades

orais ou faça-lhes perguntas.

2 Desenvolvimento da competência de escrita

Cada atividade apresenta uma micro-competência (por exemplo, pontuação) ou uma macro-

-competência (como a formação de parágrafos) que é praticada isoladamente e depois

desenvolvida na tarefa de escrita.

3 Pesquisa

A tarefa de escrita inclui uma pesquisa. Dê tempo e oportunidade aos alunos de desenvolverem

as suas ideias antes de escreverem.

4 Passos guiados para a escrita

É pedido aos alunos que respondam a perguntas específicas para completarem a tarefa de

escrita. Deverão responder às duas ou três primeiras em conjunto com a turma, para se

certificar de que compreendem as áreas específicas sobre as quais vão escrever.

5 Atividade na sala de aula ou em casa

Os alunos podem terminar a tarefa de escrita na aula ou como trabalho de casa.

6 Escrever a versão final

Incentive os alunos a escreverem o primeiro rascunho do trabalho. Depois, peça-lhes que o

corrijam antes de passarem a limpo.
