INTRODUCTION

1 Greetings

Tune Up IV Medio has been developed and written taking account the patterns and activities most relevant to the
effective learning process adequate for IV Medio students in Chile.

The book was created with the intention of giving the teacher a set of resources and guidelines that will facilitate
interactive, fun and interesting classes and achieve visible results. By giving students access to a variety of authentic
materials and orienting the lessons to encourage communication about real teenagers issues in Chile, the book
provides a wide range of possibilities for both teacher and student.

Language textbooks often prioritise grammar and closed-response activities, but the goal of Tune Up IV Medio
was to trust students ability to not only follow instructions, but also to expand and develop their own ideas and
opinions in English. By focusing on themes while giving functional examples of grammar, the book encourages
students to express themselves individually and recognise their own unique path towards mastering the English
language.

Language, at its most basic, is needed for communication and verbal exchange of ideas. Concepts, vocabulary and
grammar are irrelevant if they arent used to effectively express oneself.

5 Classroom management

One of the essential jobs of the teacher is to


determine the conditions in which learning can take
place. This could define the complete success or failure
of a course, so it is important to consider the teachers
attitude and personality, his/her intentions and the
relationship with the learners. Simple organisational
techniques can effectively lead every lesson to the
expected results.

5.1 Time and active space

Lessons should be previously planned in terms of


timing of activities and the pace of the class. It is
paramount to establish certain amount of time for
each stage of the lesson so the teacher can make sure
the core contents are properly addressed and that the
lesson keeps a consistent, active pace.

5.2 Seating arrangement 5.4 Monitoring
As students work, the teacher should move around

is why this point will vary depending on the space
available and the amount of students. Monitoring is also useful for identifying instructions
or content that are not clear. It gives the teacher the
opportunity to clarify either during the activity or
afterward.

5.5 Eliciting and error correction

The best way for students to learn is by trusting


separate tables circle themselves and their previous knowledge. It is not
necessary to explain every aspect of the content, as
much of it will come from students analysis. Any piece
of information the teacher wishes to add to the class
should be elicited from the students before he/she
intervenes.

give them confidence in future activities.

18
5.6 The teacher as a model

The teacher should demonstrate the importance of


learning English outside of the classroom. Through his/
her enthusiasm, the students should see the positive
effects that a second language can have on their
lives. The teacher is meant to be a cultural and social
ambassador to the language, not merely an instructor.

5.7 Use of English in the classroom

The classroom may be one of the only contexts in


which students come into contact with English. Clear
guidance on instructional and classroom language is
included in the Teachers Book so that the teacher
can create standardised language that teenagers
will quickly recognise without needing to translate
anymore.

As the dynamic of the class will have students in pure


contact with the second language, they will also be
able to respond using English organically.

5.8 Behavioral management

The interaction between students and between


them and the teacher should establish horizontal
communication. Seeing each other as equals will give
students confidence as learners as well as force them
to take responsibility for their actions.

As the activities in the book require a mature level


of thought and production from the students, it is
important that they see the teacher as an asset to
them and not a figure who merely gives instructions
and corrects.

The teacher must also establish clear rules that lead to


a better understanding of the topics at hand and the
use of English in general.

Background Information
Addiction is defined as a compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming
substance.
In Germany, researchers were studying addictive substances as well as
social media and they came to some shocking conclusions. The desire to
check social media was stronger among the participants than the desire to
have a smoke or a drink. People today are more focused on participating
in social media for fear of missing something than they are on their own
personal vices. Perhaps it is a new social addiction, one which thrives off
of others perceptions of us instead of our own need to feel good, which
is what motivates other, more toxic addictions.

Wrap Up
Encourage students to answer the first question without much explanation. They should use the conditional tense
to describe an imaginary situation. Elicit answers from the students and write various examples on the board for
students to see the different possibilities.
The second question is more open ended. Tell students to think about how they can express their ideas using
English. When they dont know the words, what strategies do they use? When they are trying to make a specific
point, how do they make sure it is clear?
Highlight common mistakes such as the tense and structure in Second conditional and reinforce the main points of the
class such as hard and soft skills and personality traits as important factors to get the right job.

A recent United Nations report states that South African men work on average just four-and-a-half hours a
day. However, they are workaholics in comparison to Jon Ecclestone from England.
The man, who has been married for twenty-two years, makes his wife and two children do everything around
the home. He hardly ever does anything to help.
His wife, Margaret, takes a cooked breakfast to him in bed every morning before he leaves for his job as a
mechanic. Then, its a rush to get all his washing and ironing done before starting on the chores around the
home. I do all the DIY jobs, like painting the garden fence and fixing the taps in the kitchen and bathroom.
And thats as well as all the vacuuming and dusting. I also work outside the home of course she says.
Jon hopes his dinner will be on a tray waiting for him when he gets home so that he can take it upstairs to
eat on the bed while watching TV. He never buys his family birthday or Christmas presents. Instead he gives
them a ten-pound note each from his wallet, if he remembers! I havent bought myself any clothes since weve
been married, he says. My wife buys me everything. I dont even know my size. Jon is so lazy that instead of
walking the dog, he holds the leash out of the car window as his son drives the car slowly round the block.

Martha: Thank you, Simon. Its a pleasure to be here.
Simon: So how small is small, Martha? Im sure our listeners
will be interested in the dimensions of this transistor.
Martha: Well, we are talking about nanotechnology so
everything is already pretty small. This is a fifty-
nanometre transistor, which means more or less one
two-thousandth (1/2,000) the width of a human hair.
Simon: Thats small!
Martha: Yes! The transistor is special not only because of
its size, but also because all of its components are
built on top of a silicon sheet. Its called a vertical
transistor because of this. Up until now transistors
have been horizontal. The fact that this is vertical
means it occupies much less space.
Simon: So, this kind of creation has never been seen before,
has it?
Martha: Thats right. In fact, it has several novelties. One
important difference is that with a conventional
transistor you only have one gate which switches
the current on and off. The new transistor has a gate
on each side. In real terms, having two gates makes
the processing faster. So everything is twice as fast.
Simon: So, tell us Martha, is this new transistor going to
replace the traditional transistors?
Martha: I think so, yes. But it might take some time. I cant see
companies replacing expensive existing transistors

makes sense to develop a vertical one.

c What are the social benefits of exercise?

What is exercise?
Exercise is basically the use of energetic movement to keep our bodies fit and healthy.
i The human body was not designed to be sedentary, but to move. In the past, mankind had to do physical tasks
on a daily basis. However, technology has made our lives easier in many ways and, as a result, we move considerably
less today. We drive to the shops instead of walking or we take the lift rather than going up two flights of stairs. Many
of us prefer indoor pastimes, like watching TV or playing video games, to outdoor activities.
ii There are numerous benefits to doing exercise. Exercise:
strengthens hearts, lungs and blood vessels.
facilitates good sleeping patterns.
gives us more energy.
iii If we choose to go for a walk with a friend, we can have a chat. If we join a sports club or a gym, we can
meet people with similar interests and possibly develop new friendships. Being with others makes exercise more
interesting and motivating.
iv It is important to choose the right exercise type for our bodies, and one that will encourage us to continue.
If you want to improve muscular strength, you could do anaerobic exercise, like weightlifting. To improve physical
endurance, aerobic exercise is important. Activities such as jogging, dancing or swimming are aerobic and also help
augment overall fitness. Flexibility can be improved by regular stretching.
v Current guidelines recommend that we spend at least thirty minutes a day being physically active. It doesnt
need to be expensive. You can take exercise at home by tidying the sitting room or dancing to your favourite music.
Not having enough time is no longer a valid excuse. Everyone has thirty minutes. Come on, lets get fit!

Warm Up
Ask students what do they remember having worked on unit 7 and write the topics on the board. Have students
say out loud what they remember having read or listened about these topics and make some notes on the board
too.

Reading
1. Go through the instructions and check students have understood by asking some questions such as Do you
need to write anything? and Do you need to match?. You can also help them by explaining how to work in this type
of activities, in which they should first read quickly for a general idea of what the text I about and then scan for
specific information that links each paragraph to a heading. Students read and match individually so they can later
check with a partner. Answers: a ii; b iv; c iii; d i; e v

get them to check in pairs. After the second time they listen, have whole class feedback to check the correct
answers. Answers: a T; b F; c T; d F; e T

Writing
3. Encourage students to plan their writing in order to save time and organise their ideas better. After writing, direct
students to the General Writing Rubric with Descriptors on page 188 of the Students book so they can assess
their own written piece before handing it in and to follow the three stages of writing (planning-producing-revising).

Wrap Up
This stage can be used for correction. Have students switch their tests with partners sitting close to them. Go
through the answers with the whole class and clarify any doubts.

Warm Up
Write the words healthy and unhealthy on the board and elicit words that students think are related to these
concepts.

1. Students complete the diagram with words that fit each category (nasty-healthy, healthy-nice, nice-unhealthy,
and unhealthy-nasty). They should then compare in pairs and see what words from their partner are interesting
for them to note down. Answers will vary.

2. Students choose a partner to interview. This partner may choose another one to interview, but make sure
everyone is interviewing and being interviewed. Answers will vary.

3. Ask students what jobs healthy people do (usually sports). Get them to work in pairs and choose one person
who is inspiring to write about. They can tell the class later who they chose and why.

Wrap Up
Ask students which people they wrote about. Make a list on the board and choose the top three or four by having
students vote. Then, divide the class in as many groups as top people you have (three or four) and get students to
make a poster that represents how healthy this person is.

Protecting the environment is becoming more and more important in our daily lives.
__________ (a) Eco-home is the term used to describe these environmentally friendly houses. The concept behind
these homes is that they leave the smallest carbon footprint possible. They are built with materials from sustainable
sources and they are designed to use very little energy.
__________ (b) This zero carbon house has a concrete base and the rest of it is made of wood. The house itself is
prefabricated, which means that it costs very little, environmentally, to make or transport. To keep the house warm,
various systems are used. Power is generated using wind turbines and solar panels. Modern technology has also
allowed them to construct a greenhouse which produces its own energy and they grow their fruit and vegetables.The
Reas believe that their home is an ordinary house. Will we all be living in eco-homes in the future?
__________ (c) In fact, architects have taken on the challenge of designing house plans that are environmentally
friendly and built with sustainable materials.
__________ (d) One of the worlds first zero carbon homes (eco-home) can be seen on Unst Island in the north of
Scotland. Unst Island is one of the most difficult places to live in the UK: its an island where there are frequent storms
with strong winds in winter and the sun doesnt set there in the summer. Despite these problems, it is here that the

1 Look back at unit 8 and for each lesson, choose a topic that called your attention. For each topic, note down some
words you find important or interesting. Use a spider map to organise your ideas and to see how words are related.
Here is an example:

cars
Chile and
mining
the price of pollution
progress industries
fertilisers

2 Imagine you have been invited to a national congress about the environment, with the mission of interviewing a
green celebrity. Think of 5 questions you would ask and then make them indirect, as it is a formal event.

Direct question Indirect question

3 Write a report to your local government telling them what you know about the environmental situation of your
city. You can use the ideas from activity 1 to help you. Remember to describe the situation in detail and to give
recommendations in your conclusion. Use 100 or more words and follow the structure given.

Teacher: Have you got a favourite song or poem? Have you ever written or received one? Get students
to work in pairs and to think of a name for the rhyme. Answer: c
2. Students can discuss in pairs and then write their own summary. Tell them they could write it as a
rhyme but using their own words in case they want to and that they can also include their opinion.
Have them check in pairs or groups. Possible Answer: The rhyme talks about consumerism and
how stressful it can make your life.
3. 64 Students listen to the rhyme and write down on their notebooks some words that they
think are emphasised and the ones they can barely hear. If necessary, go verse by verse stopping
the recording to give them more time to analyse. Write one of the verses on the board and elicit
the right sentence stress.
4. Direct students to the title of the song and the singers and ask them if they know anything about
them. Students answer individually or in pairs and then share ideas with the class.
Possible answers: a It tells about a love from the past and how he/she continues loving him/her

5. 65 Students listen to the song and check their predictions in small groups.
6. Ask students what they know about R&B and have them investigate to find the answers. This could
be set as homework to work in groups.

Wrap Up
In this case activity 6 is set for homework, encourage them to prepare a class presentation that includes
information, music and graphic resources to tell about R&B. Students could even wear costumes and have a
music fair for other classes too.

Background Information
Rhythm and blues (R&B) was born in the 1940s. It was a combination of jazz and blues with a strong rhythm
for dancing too. 1950s rock and roll has its origins in R&B, and R&B influenced soul in the 1960s and funk in the
1970s. Contemporary R&B has hip-hop and pop influences, and Mariah Carey, Destinys Child and Usher are
some of its biggest names.

Warm Up
The following texts are about decisions and choices. Brainstorm on the board the different choices and decisions
the students have to make and see which ones they have in common and why.

1. Ask the class what the title of the song infers and have a discussion. Possible Answer: the
composer talks of the day when the relationship will be broken up and how he will feel about the
possibility of his wife having a new boyfriend (jealousy)

6. Have students write a poem of their own using the same rhythm they heard before . Ask students
to recite it. If you believe it is necessary, do the same activity in pairs. As an extra activity, you may
ask them to write on a piece of cardboard and then hang them on the classroom walls.

Wrap Up
Have students think about their favourite song or poem. They should write a description of its message musical
style. Get each student to give the description of their favourite song/poem so the rest of the class can guess the
name and author.

Background Information
Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses.
Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or
incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often
leave a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, metaphor, simile and metonymy create a resonance
between otherwise disparate imagesa layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived.
Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm.
