lnlroduction
lnnovotions, first published in 2000, was created to provide intermediate to high-intermediate students with interesting models of natural spoken Englishto motivate them beyond the intermediate plateau./nnovotions has now been updated and expanded into a new series (pre-inte rmediate, intermediote, upper-intermediote) f or classeslooking for a fresh approach.lt is based on a language-rich, lexical/grammatical syllabusthar starts with the l<indsof natural conversations that learners want to nave.

How does lnnovations intermediate ftt in wi t h t h e r e s t o f th e se ri e s?

lnnovations intermediote aims to provide a large boost in l a n g u a g e c q u i s i t i o nw h i c h w e f e e l i s i m p o r t a n t a t t h e a , intermediate level.lt focuses on basic topic conversations and functions. Grammar tends to be presented qither as fixed chunl<sof lexis to be rearnt,or fairly short grammar sections which practise grammar in a fairly narrow context. Students are shown how to make the most of a limited vocabulary.lnnovotions intermediotepresents more sophisticatedversions of some basic conversations.lt does this by presencinga wider range of responses to rypical questions and by introducing some idiomatic language. also covers a lt wider range of issues than lnnovotions pre-intermediote both through the reading rexts and the choice of topics. Consequently,there is a greater vocabulary load. Grammar is now focused on more deeply througn examples showing how it is used in different ways and in wider contexts.Tensesare contrasted more, meaning is 'difficult' discussed, and more structures such as conditionals are introduced. ln lnnovotions upperintermediote, the languageis more idiomatic and focuses on more aspects of spol<engrammar that are often neglected.

The teachers' notes often suggestquestions you can asl< about languagein the texts and there are also good examples of these kinds of questions in the Vocabulary quizzes in the Review units. lt may take a little time to get used to this style of teaching,and students also may initially need to get used to it, but it is worth persisting with it, as it produces a dynamic and language-rich classroom.

Reading texts
Thirteen of the units in /nnovotions intermediotehave two-page reading sections.Thesetexts are derived from authentic articles,but have been re-written to include maximally useful vocabulary and collocations.The texts a r e a l l d e s i g n e dt o e l i c i t s o m e k i n d o f p e r s o n a l r e s p o n s e from students,whether it be laughter,disbelief,or shocl<! Encourage students to read the whole text through without worrying too much about any words they don't l<now.Tellthem to put their pens down for a minute and relax! One good way of ensuring they do this is to play the recording as they read it the first time or, if you want a slower pace,to read it out yourself. lmportant vocabulary is focused on later,and students need to gain confidence in their ability to understand most - if not all - of a text. Encourage students to focus on the many words they do know! Each reading text is followed by a speakingtask where students have the opportunity to react personally to the text and to extend the discussionon a related theme. These taskscan either be done in pairsor in small groups.You may want to add some of your own questions connected to the text which you thinl< will interest your particular class. There are also often comprehension and vocabulary tasks that encourage students to re-read the text and n o t i c e u s e f u le x p r e s s i o n s n d c o l l o c a t i o n sO n e q u e s t i o n a . that you can asl<is if anyone found an expression or collocation that was interesting or new to them. For example, in The day that changed my life on page 25, students might find I just did it on impulsean interesting new expression.Suggestthat students use a good English*English dictionary, not only to checl<the meaning of words but also to read the examples,which often contain useful collocations and phrases. With both the reading and the listening texts, you could obout the simply asl<students Do you have ony questions text? Note that this a different question to Are there ony words which you don't know?,because it allows students to asl<about anything.They can ask about words they do know, but which may appear in a new meaning or collocation; they can asl<about expressions;they can asl< about content; they can even asl<you what you thinl<l Encouragingstudents to asl<questions is a good way to lt encourage them to notice language. also helps to create a good relationship between students and teacner.

G r a m m a rco mme n ta ry
The Grammar commentary starts on page 160 of the Coursebool< after a two-page introduction outlining the basic approach to grammar tal<enin the book. Ask students to read these pages early on in the course and d i s c u s sa n y q u e s t i o n st h a t a r i s e f r o m i t . T h e g r a m m a r points that follow refer to the Using grammar sections within the units.

Dialogues
Almost without exception, the listeningtexts are conversations.Theycontain the topics people talk about every day,and contain many commonly-used phrases and expressions.Many of these common expressions are re-cycled in the Coursebool<. Listeningtexts often occur at the beginningof a unit. This is becausea lot of the languagein the text is focused on in the rest of the unit. When you do these listeningtaslcsin class,play the recording once so students can answer the gist questions in While you listen and then once more to allow them to identify t h e w o r d s a n d p h r a s e sw h i c h c o m p l e t e t h e g a p s .l f y o u r students find this hard, play the recording a third time and pause after each gap to give them more time to play the recording one last time as write. Finally, students read the dialogue.Listening to natural spoken E n g l i s h h i l s t a l s o r e a d i n gw h a t t h e y a r e h e a r i n gh e l p s w students get used to the way languageis'chunl<ed': pause,and more importantly, where where speal<ers t h e y d o n o t p a u s e .l t a l s o h e l p s t h e m n o t i c e o t h e r features of everyday speech,such as discourse marl<ers. You could follow up by getting students to read the d i a l o g u ea l o u d i n p a i r s - e i t h e r t h e w h o l e d i a l o g u eo r just part of it. The other listeningtexts in the book are treated like more traditional skills lessons.However, if you and your students lil<ethe gap-fillingactivities,you could copy the relevant tapescript at the bacl<of the y book and blankout the expressions ou would most like to focus on.Alternatively,picl<out some key nouns or verbs.

To helo students understand the use of the two tenses visually, draw a big empty square on the board. Tell them t h a t t h i s i s g o i n g t o b e t h e o p e n i n gs c e n eo f a m o v i e . Ask them to suggestthe time of year and day (e.9. spring, late afternoon), and the weather (e.g.sunny). Have them suggestsome background actions (e.g.birds singing, clouds drifting) and draw these. Then have students suggestsome everyday activities for a person (e.g.sitting on a parl<bench, reading a book). Draw a person doing this. Next, explain that you want something . u n u s u a lo r i m p o r t a n t t o h a p p e ns u d d e n l y H a v e s t u d e n t s make some suggestionsand choose one to draw on the board (e.g. a swarm of killer bees appeared).Now tell the story.

A q u i c kq u i z
This tasl<focuses on some more important aspects of learning:pronunciation and grammar. lt's probably best to do each part step by step, allowing students to quicl<ly compare answers when appropriate. Again, at the end, spend some time talking about how each part relates to students' own languagelearning. For the first part, you may want to tall<about how stress is conveyed in English.For some languagegroups, a lot of practice is needed in lengtheningstressed syllablesand s h o r t e n i n g u n s t r e s s e d y l l a b l e s u s i n ga r u b b e r b a n d t o s stretch out on the stressed syllablescan help.

Students may have learned that the present continuous is used to describe actions that are happening now Although the tense can be used in this way, it does not always hold true. When it refers to the present, it is perhaps better to think of the present continuous as d e s c r i b i n ga n u n f i n i s h e d c t i o n . a Explain the situation and talk about how the expression bump into is used to say that the two people met by chance.

Also, draw their attention to the word stufl This is another useful word lil<ething, which we often use when we don't l<now or don't want to say the specific noun. Give students some other examples: / need some stuff for my hoir. Con I leove some of my stuff in your goroge until I find o Dloceto live? I wonder whot thot red stuff is on the chicken.
