Level E class: On Course 5 – learning materials and learning content
The system On Course 5 is suitable for students aged 14 – 18. It is a transitional stage to the preparation courses for acquiring the FCE and CAE Cambridge certificates. While studying on this system, students successfully consolidate the achieved, up to the intermediate level, knowledge and skills, as well as they learn many more specific structures and vocabulary which form the basis of the learning content of the preparatory certificate systems. Newly enrolled students take a language level test and have an interview with a teacher.
Learning materials include: a coursebook, a workbook and tests that determine students’ progress. The workbook consists of two parts. The first one includes exercises corresponding to the lessons in the coursebook, and the second one – ten diverse tasks for writing: a formal letter, an argumentative essay, an email giving advice, a formal letter requesting information and declining an invitation, a letter of complaint, an article, a report and a story.
Learning objectives are to develop the four basic skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing. The study material is divided into ten modules with four lessons in each. After every fourth one there are speaking practice as well as exercises consolidating the learnt vocabulary and grammar. These are similar to the Cambridge exam format tasks. Learners expand their vocabulary related to various spheres of daily life such as: leisure time, tourist destinations, feelings and emotions, languages and communication, education and employment, financial status, mass media and advertising, technology, global current affairs, traditions and customs. All grammatical tenses are revised and reinforced as students learn how to use them correctly in a variety of structures as well as skills of transforming sentences are achieved. Ways of word formation, correct use of a number of prepositions, as well as many idiomatic and collocative expressions are also learnt. At the end of the level, students obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully move on to effective preparation for the FCE and CAE Cambridge Certificates.
