<p>A detailed presentation modeling key features of news reports and focusing student attention on issues of tone and style. Opportunities for peer assessment of work, these lessons include a student and teacher exemplar which can be analysed using the key features and English B conceptual understandings. There is also an error correction exercise to focus on common mistakes which detract from communicative competence in writing.</p>

<p>To support the new 2019 IGCSE ESL syllabus, but could also be used for IBDP English B Review Text Type, this resource looks at the structure and features of effective review writing through analysis of film and book reviews. The attached real movie and book reviews are relatively high-level and could be adapted/changed as necessary for different groups of students, also according to their interests.</p>

<p>Introduction to rhetoric for speeches and the nature of English B Speech writing questions - linked to theme of poverty and including an exemplar response for critical analysis using key features and conceptual understandings.</p>

<p>Can be used as review or revision or for teaching of School Magazine/Newspaper Article in the IGCSE ESL course. Two high-level answers are provided and 3 guided tasks are given related to the first of these to raise student awareness of high-level features in articles. While these responses are right at the upper end of the IGCSE ESL achievement scale, they are not perfect and there are opportunities for students to critique these responses</p>

<p>Comprehensive presentation and group research presentation assessment based on the Experiences theme and the topic of cultural assimilation and migration, following the new Cambridge English B coursebook texts, activities and links.</p>

<p>IGCSE ESL Magazine Article Exam-style prompts on topics of broad interest to teenage students. Could be used formatively as part of a research project or other in-class work, or for assessment purposes.</p>

<p>A resource I use as a bridge between IGCSE ESL units on Media and Entertainment and Environmental Issues - students think about different environmental issues before exploring the highly polarised debate on Climate Change through contrasting media representations. Packed with topic-specific vocabulary and oportuntiies for discussion, the lesson also reinforces media literacy skills and links to learning around Fake News and critical reading.</p>

<p>An introductory unit of work with core reading texts mostly based on the now old Cambridge Coursebook Unit 1 texts and some InThinking resources (subscription required for a couple of activity resouces here), this unit of work also includes authentic listening comprehension opportunities to support the new syllabus, as well as offering introductions to text types in general and the new Language B Conceptual Understandings. There is also focused work on blogs, and a structured class debate branching out into other themes (identities, social relationships, experiences)</p>

<p>This is a presentation for IGCSE ESL which runs through the structural features and useful expressions for informal letters, before reviewing basic descriptive techniques and time expressions which can be integrated into exam responses. Useful for review and revision or as an initial teaching tool which can be adapted and personalised to your students.</p>

<p>Presentation and exemplar answer guiding students towards greater understanding of the requirements of the IGCSE EFL Paper 3 Directed Writing question. The resources are based on the June 2012 Paper 3 text on taking a gap year and first focus on students finding evidence for their arguments in the text before asking them to analyse an exemplar answers according to key elements of an effective Directed Writing response (voice, sense of audience, arguments and evidence).</p>

<p>Using a student response from Digger’s IGCSE ESL Wriiting book - students here analyse the positive and negative features of a student’s response to a School Magazine Article prompt on exam advice for students. This can be easily adapted and expanded upon, for example by asking students to improve certain sections of the response.</p>

<p>Based on the IGCSE EFL November 2012 Paper 31, this presentation and exemplar response function as guided exam practice for students to consolidate understanding of the requirements of the Directed Writing task. A pre-reading discussion task activates student thinking and after the main reading task, an exemplar response analysis key is included to guide students towards understanding of the key elements of an effective argumentative letter response.</p>

<p>Comprehensive presentation related to the topic of Development - primarily linked to the Sharing the Planet theme but also intricately connected to the themes of Identities and Experiences. Based on and designed to support teaching using the new Cambridge Coursebook.</p>
