How to Use the Student Workbook
We designed the workbook for intermediate and lower advanced level students (B2 and C1 on the European scale), but it can be used by lower intermediate levels with guidance from a teacher.
It can also be used as a self-study guide, but was originally written
to be used in class – there is also a teacher book to accompany the
student workbook.
Each lesson takes 20-40 minutes in self-study, or 90 minutes with a
teacher following the discussion exercises and role-plays in the teacher
book.
A Guide for Teachers
The teacher book accompanies the student workbook, with lesson
planning notes, role-plays and other ideas to encourage discussion and
speaking practice.
The English for Job Interviews workbook was designed to be used
ideally in class with a teacher, and needs minimal preparation – there
are just some role-play cards to cut out.
The lesson notes can be adapted or expanded on depending on how much
time you have available – it can be delivered as a full-day seminar of
7.5 hours, or 5 lessons of 90 minutes.
We’ve avoided simply giving lists of template phrases or words to
memorise and parrot back. Instead, the workbook focuses on helping
students reflect on the best responses and create a more personal
answer, which they can then write down and review before the interview.
For most of the open questions, the questions are asked first and
then the ‘answers’ in the form of notes or tips are given on the
following pages.
