Per molti argomenti, individuati come tra i più

comunemente complessi da apprendere,

il testo propone delle mappe concettuali

che presentano in modo grafi co e schematico

le informazioni. A seguito di continue ricerche, abbiamo individuato come la sperimentazione

di vari stili di apprendimento, nel caso specifi co

attraverso la memoria visiva, aiuti e stimoli

la concentrazione e lo studio da parte

degli studenti stessi.

I riepiloghi posizionati in maniera sistematica

all’interno del testo risulteranno utili e preziosi

durante la fase di ripasso di tutti gli argomenti

affrontati. In aggiunta a questo, inseriti a

conclusione di ogni sezione, esercizi sommativi

che ricapitolano sempre dall’inizio del libro,

supporteranno i docenti nella fase di fi ssaggio

delle strutture grammaticali e lessicali.

Le attività di ripasso sopra citate comprendono

anche esercizi per la preparazione degli esami

Cambridge ESOL PET e FCE.

La grammatica, inoltre fornisce un’abbondanza

di esercizi, molti dei quali particolarmente

attenti alle attività comunicative, personalizzate,

diversifi cate e organizzate per difficoltà crescente.

Pur non essendo scopo di questo libro preparare

lo studente esclusivamente ad una certifi cazione,

una copiosa quantità degli esercizi inclusi viene

impostata proprio secondo le tipologie tipiche

degli esami più conosciuti.

In particolare, molte attività forniscono una

specifi ca e attenta preparazione alle sentence transformations-Part 6 di Reading and Writing

del Preliminary English Test (PET)- riproposte

a livello più alto in Use of English del First Certifi cate in English (FCE). Tali prove

costituiscono l’elemento grammaticale più

problematico per la maggior parte degli studenti:

per questo motivo lo studente ha a disposizione

una esaustiva rubrica specifi ca dedicata

all’apprendimento delle tecniche necessarie

per un’ottima preparazione.

Anche per gli esami certifi cati Trinity, lo studente

troverà del materiale specifi co e utile: rimandiamo

in particolare alla sezione dedicata alle funzioni

linguistiche, fondamentali per una produzione

orale dell’inglese efficace, colloquiale e reale.

New Inside Grammar si presta ad essere

adoperata in maniera fl essibile dal livello post beginner fi no al livello upper intermediate,

corrispondenti ai livelli A1 a B2 del Common

Framework of Reference, è una grammatica

pratica, di facile consultazione rivolta

specifi camente agli studenti italiani.

L’articolazione su tre livelli di difficoltà

Fondamenti (A1-A2) PET (A2-B1) e FCE (B2)

fornisce gli strumenti per affrontare sia il

Preliminary English Test che il First Certifi cate.

Ogni sezione contiene inizialmente delle unità

dedicate al PET a sfondo bianco che presentano

la grammatica di base fi no ad un livello

intermediate – B1; successivamente ulteriori unità

dedicate a FCE, a sfondo rosso,

di approfondimento fi no al livello upper intermediate - B2.

Tale suddivisione permette l’utilizzo di tutta la

prima sezione B1/PET nel primo biennio della

scuola secondaria di secondo grado; mentre

l’utilizzo della sezione B2/FCE potrà avvenire

negli anni successivi.

Il sillabo grammaticale è stato ampliato con

la nuova sezione Fondamenti dove vengono

affrontate con cura tutte le funzioni linguistiche

di base. Inoltre, nella parte a sfondo bianco PET

sono stati inclusi come novità ulteriori argomenti

individuati come più complessi per gli studenti

italiani, in modo da coprire tutte le possibili

esigenze linguistiche comuni a questo livello.

Una nuova sezione di lessico illustrato è

inserita ed è concepita a partire dalla wordlist specifi ca dell’esame PET. Gli argomenti lessicali

vengono presentati attraverso delle illustrazioni

per meglio registrarne il signifi cato e seguiti

da esercizi di varia tipologia per mettere in pratica

e fi ssare l’apprendimento dei termini.

Le nuove spiegazioni grammaticali prestano

particolare importanza allo studente italiano

grazie ai molti esempi di grammatica contrastiva

che mettono in evidenza le differenze

e le similitudini fra le due lingue. Inoltre, una

nuova sezione Traduzione, focalizza l’attenzione

sulla traduzione dall’italiano all’inglese in modo

da prevenire gli errori più comuni fra gli studenti

italiani e sviluppare fi n da subito un approccio

reale e contestualizzato della lingua stessa.

Il nuovo CD ROM, che

accompagna il libro dello

studente, permette di ripassare

ed esercitarsi sulla grammatica

e il lessico in un contesto

divertente e interattivo,

con esercizi di multiple choice,

dialoghi e brani da completare.

Il CD ROM contiene anche una

sezione dedicata all’ascolto

e alla pronuncia con una funzione

che permette di registrare

la propria voce e confrontarla

con un madrelingua.

Nella guida sono fornite

36 Quick Tests fotocopiabili che

si possono utilizzare velocemente

per controllare l’apprendimento

degli studenti.

I 20 Full Tests da fotocopiare

potranno essere impiegati

come prove più approfondite

e complete, in quanto

comprendono anche attività

di ascolto e scrittura.

Tutti i test sono modifi cabili

in formato Word.
