Step Up is a six-level course for young children who are new to English and the Roman alphabet.

Welcome to Step Up is a story-based course. Pupils will share the lives of twins Polly and Jack, their little sister Betty, and their friends in Saudi Arabia � Abdullah, his brother Sami and their sister Layla.

Each unit is based in a new location. This provides a rich and familiar context for the

structures and the lexis the pupils will encounter as they go with the Step Up children to school, to the shop, the zoo, and various other places along the way.

Objectives of the courseThe main objectives of the course are:- to develop an eagerness to learn, using material which is fun, challenging, varied, and appropriate to the interests and real experiences of the children- to provide children with some useful basic

vocabulary, structures, and functions of English which will enable them to communicate on a very simple level, both orally and in writing, both about themselves and with reference to the material and the characters in the book- to develop in children the skills needed to maximize their immediate learning and future progress. The course provides a balanced and graded approach to the four major skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing

- to provide a clear record of the children�s learning and linguistic development- to provide the teacher with tools for teaching that are clear and simple to use, consistent in their presentation and their aims, and that motivate and inspire the teacher- to introduce the sounds and shapes of English in a regular, thorough and enjoyable way.

Course componentsStep Up has the following components:

resources)

cards, word cards, number cards and other photocopiable resources

Class Book and Activity BookThis is a 96-page colour book containing both the presentation material you will need for lessons, and write-in practice material. The Class Book presentation material includes; stories, games, chants, phonics and reading texts. The Activity Book practice material reinforces the language presentations in the Class Book, introduces the shapes and sounds of the English alphabet, practises left-right motor skills and provides additional skills work, particularly listening,

reading and writing tasks. Some of the activities in the Activity Book require the audio, while for other puzzles and writing tasks the input is all in the book. All Activity Book exercises are in two-colour, giving teachers the flexibility to use them for colouring-in if they wish. The write-in practice activities can be completed either in the classroom or at home.

There are five units in the book, each consisting

page in the Class Book, and two-pages of write-in practice activities in the Activity Book at the back of the book. The Activity Book pages are referenced on the corresponding Class Book pages for ease of use.

At the end of every unit there is a self-assessment quiz in the Activity Book in which children review the language of the unit and

assess their own progress.

Website for parentswww.oup.com/elt/teacher/stepup

The website provides parents with information about the Step Up course contents. It also gives ideas for ways of supporting children at home with their learning, and provides extra

practice activities.

Course structureStep Up 1 consists of five units. Each unit begins in a different location, providing both a real context and a familiar situation in which to set the language.

In the first four units, children are introduced to the sounds and letters of English in a regular and systematic way. Lower case letters are taught first and the sequence in which they are introduced is based on common shapes � so

the �vertical� letters are taught first � d, f, i, l, t � then the anti-clockwise letters � a, c, e, o, u. In each case, children practise the sound of the letter as they form its shape.

By Unit 5 children have met all the lower case

letters and begin learning the upper case or capital letters. At the same time there is a focus on sounds which can prove difficult for Arabic speakers, e.g. / b /.

MultiROM

interactive activities which practise the

vocabulary, phonics and structures from each unit. These can be used by students working at their own pace at home, or in class. There is

Teacher�s BookThe four-colour Teacher�s Book contains comprehensive teaching notes for each lesson, including reduced pages from the Class Book and Activity Book, to make lesson planning

easier. It also provides guidelines for the use of English and Arabic in the classroom.

At the beginning of each lesson there is a statement of the general aim of the lesson, and a summary of the new language to be covered and

of any special materials needed for the lesson.

Introduction8

Book provides a variety of activities to practise the language in different ways.

Lesson 5 Phonics and letter formationThe Fun with Phonics lesson introduces the most common phonics in a controlled way. It is also an opportunity to introduce or revise vocabulary which contains the target sounds. The phonics work in the Class Book is reinforced by the letter practice work in the Activity Book. Children are always asked to say the sound as they form the letters, helping them to memorize both.

In Unit 5, this lesson focuses on a sound which may cause difficulties for Arabic speakers � / b /.

Lesson 6 Review and extension

introduces children to friends, interests and favourite things from his world. Sometimes we also meet Linda, an English girl of a similar age. In this way children begin to learn about the wider English-speaking world and understand that speaking English is a good way to communicate internationally.

The Activity Book lesson revises the main language covered in the unit. There is a regular

personalization opportunity for children to add

to write a caption underneath it.

The self-assessment quiz, Quizzy�s questions, is designed to help children focus on their

learning and think about their progress. It takes the form of a picture quiz in which the children see for themselves what they can remember.

them to assess how well they think they have done as honestly as they can!

Unit structureEach unit is made up of six lessons, and all the units follow the same basic structure:

Lesson 1 Language presentation The first lesson establishes the context, and introduces key lexis via a chant with a clear rhythm to aid pronunciation and help

children vocalize the lexis. The use of chants is also important in that it enables learners to memorize and recall new vocabulary easily.

reinforced by listening and writing tasks in the

Activity Book provide the pupils with a solid reinforcement of the new language and an ongoing record of their learning.

Lesson 2 Structure presentationThis lesson develops the context established in Lesson 1 and introduces a new structure built around some of the lexis already presented. This is achieved using an extended story which children can then act out in the classroom. The language is again consolidated

via listening, reading, and writing activities in the Activity Book.

Lesson 3 Language developmentThis lesson is usually a game and is used to practise or extend the vocabulary introduced

Fun with Phonics one, designed to introduce the sounds and shapes of English � see Lesson 5 below.)As before, the language is consolidated via listening, reading, and writing activities in the

Activity Book.

Lesson 4 Language practiceThe fourth lesson in every unit provides children with a classroom-based opportunity for interaction with a partner by playing a simple

question and answer game, using language they have learnt in the unit so far. Each game is clearly modelled and carefully structured so that the language the children need to use is clearly and realistically controlled. The Activity

what might happen and to bring to the lesson their own experiences, thoughts and ideas at

a point in the lesson at which motivation and interest are all important.

Throughout the lesson notes, you will find models of the language for you to use on a daily basis in the classroom. This simple instructional language, e.g. Look at page ..., Can you find ...? Show me a ... is an integral part of any language course and will serve the children throughout their language-learning experience.

Monitoring and slower learnersAt the end of every lesson there is a pen and paper activity in the Activity Book which the children are expected to complete quietly on their own. This might be a drawing/colouring

task or a simple writing task. This quiet stage at the end of each lesson allows you to monitor individual children�s progress in a regular and non-threatening way and to work closely with individuals who may be having particular difficulty.

of each lesson allows them to consolidate the language at their own pace. It gives them time for reflection and quiet concentration as well as providing a personal record of their learning and

an awareness of the written form of the language they may have practised only orally/aurally so far.

Involving parentsIt is very important that parents are involved in the learning process that their children are experiencing, since support and encouragement from parents are vital elements in young children�s learning. We hope that the children

will perform some of the chants for their parents, and take home some of their work

able to talk to their parents about what they are doing in their English lessons. The Step Up website gives parents ideas for ways of supporting their children�s learning at home and provides extra practice activities. We hope that you and your class enjoy using this course, and look forward to seeing you again in Step Up 2.

Classroom managementActivity types

initial practice stages of each lesson have been designed as whole-class activities or team games. This enables you to monitor the individual

children closely and ensure that the forms and pronunciation are being correctly reproduced. As the lessons and the units develop, there are also examples of simple pair work games and role-play activities for small groups. The stories in the book can be acted out by the children, who learn in this way to cooperate with their classmates to achieve a common end.

MaterialsThe materials and preparation specified at the beginning of each lesson are specific requirements for that lesson. The basic requirements for every lesson are the Class Book,

In addition, we suggest that you always have available the following aids:- a supply of paper and thin card

- coloured pens/pencils in a range of colours

brown, black, and white are used in this course) for the children to use if they do not have their own- coloured board pens in as many colours as possible- Blu-Tack, scissors and glue- all the flashcards arranged in their topic sets

- if possible, a complete set of word cards so that there is one word card for each flashcard. We suggest that you make these using fairly thick card and laminate them if possible so that you can use them again and again.

Classroom languageThere are occasions, particularly in the early

stages of the course, where the use of Arabic has been suggested. This enables children to talk about the situation more fully, to predict
