TRIMESTRAL TEACHER GUIDE

(NAIROBI)

AGATA LISOWSKA 1
How to use this
guide

Dear Vaughan Teacher,

Weve written this teacher guide for you to help

you organize and execute your trimestral courses.
The point of these guides is that we provide you with
as much material as possible so that you can go into
the classroom and focus on doing your absolute best
as a teacher with minimal planning stresses.
To fully take advantage of this and to makes
sure you cover all of the material necessary for each
course, there are 5 steps you should follow

The Vaughan Team

AGATA LISOWSKA 2
STEP ONE identify length of course

AGATA LISOWSKA 3
COURSE START DATES

The student books are not divided by weeks so youll have to make sure you divide
the units up into however many weeks your course is, to do thisidentify how long

AGATA LISOWSKA 4
your course is by following the chart on the previous page (day of the week
month number (day).)

FYI - The teacher guides are automatically divided up for 11/12 week courses

STEP TWO divide units

Now that you know the length of your course, look at this chart below to know how
many units to cover per week. This chart should be strictly followed, especially for
the sake of teacher substitutions.

12 wk 11 wk 10 wk 9 wk 8 wk
course course course course course
Cover 4 Cover 4 Cover 4 Cover 4 Cover 5
units per units per units per units in the units per
week week (44 week, 1st week, 5 week in the
(44 units = units = 11 except last units in 1st four
11 wks) weeks) 4 classes every week weeks and
Last class NO review (cover 5 following. 6 units per
is review class units each NO review week in the
class wk) class last 4
NO review weeks.
class NO review
class

The number of units you cover per week is regardless of the length of the classes (2
hrs per wk; 2.5 hrs per wk; 3 hrs per wk; 4 hrs per wk; etc). If you are teaching only
2 or 2.5 hours per week, its okay if you dont get to cover absolutely everything in
the book. The important part is that you stick to the number of units per week.

STEP THREE assess level

IMPORTANT: These books are very different from the old trimestral books
we had, new Book 1 is much tougher than old Book 1; new Book 14 is at
a similar level to old book 23, etc.

Get the student book in front of you, have a look through the whole
thing.

Identify if theyve started covering the past simple, present perfect or

conditionals, etc. or any main grammar points that can help you assess
where your students will be at level-wise.

Look at the index, this will also help you grasp what your students will be
learning throughout the course.

STEP FOUR write drills
Since this is a new course, there are still many teacher guides that need
drills written. As you will see, each unit has more than one point
(some of the points are either common mistakes, main grammar
points, expressions, basics, etc.). We have divided up the material in
these guides so its a little more clear to you when to cover certain points
in your lesson plan (e.g. if one of the points in a unit is a vocabulary list,
than the vocabulary list should be taught in the vocabulary slot which
is towards the beginning of our skeleton lesson plans.

The type of drill needed is specified in this guide in each unit but if not try
to vary the type of drills (dont always make them full answer drills,
you can get inspiration from tricks-for-teaching or the teacher manual to
see how to vary your drills).

Youll find that if you need to write a drill, itll be highlighted in yellow
identifying how many questions should be written, for example

DRILL (15-20 Qs)

TIP: There may be drills on file that already work for the point youre
going to cover. You can go to the internal teacher server and search
according to what grammar point youre covering or look in the Vaughan
Teacher Manual.

STEP FIVE fill in the skeleton

Have a look at the skeletons weve provided on the following pages.
These base lesson plans should look just like what youve seen in
training. You will see that there are slots provided where you should
insert different things, including specific slots for 4 different units that
should be covered every week.

Its vital to understand that one UNIT does not equal one grammar point.
Sometimes there are 2, 3 or even 4 different points per UNIT. However,
not all points in the units are grammar pointssome are basics, or
expressions, or common mistakes, etc. Therefore, when you use the
lesson plan skeleton provided, its up to you to choose the most
important point in the unit to treat as a Main Grammar Point to put into
the slots allotted for UNITS 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the lesson plans. The rest of
the points in the units should be treated as high-paced drills or fillers and

AGATA LISOWSKA 7
 should still be included in your lesson plans.

Make it dynamic! At the end of the day, youre the expert, so if you
feel the need to switch around the placement of certain fillers and high-
paced drills in your lesson plans to keep them dynamic, than go for it.
Follow your gut!

unwell.

INCORRECT: I have a two years old daughter.

DRILL (15-20 Qs): This may seem really weird to your students at first
because youd think that because its two years, that there would be an
s since its more than one. However, here two-year old acts as an
adjective (and they should know by now that adjectives can never be plural).
This unit covers different types of compound adjectives such as eight-hour
flight and ten-minute drive.
Get your students to rephrase
1.) Teacher: A house that has three bedrooms.
