This text book is designed for college student's practical English communication.
This text book is not intended to be comprehensive course in English.
The primary goal fo the book is to create a base of interesting and useful activities for communicative language teaching.
The book provides variety of stretagies which is dialogue, asking questions, pronunciation, and discussion questionsto achive the curricular goals that is English speaking proficiency.
Many activities being provided in pair and group.
The text book also contains the traditional for skills reading, writing, listening, speaking in each chapter fo this book.
This is because research shows that language acquistion is most effective when the four skills are developed in conjunction with each other. But the content of reading and grammar is not as well organized as the content of speaking.
The level of vacabulary and dialogue expression is comparatively low for collegue students.
Especially for advenced students.
Support materials are not sufficent to meet each level of studnets.
I found out the similarities between yellow rubric and my rubric:
1. Obfectives and goals is clear for the curriculum and appropriate for student's needs.
2. The lesson provide the opportunity for students to be active participants in the instrution, engaging them in listening, reading , speaking and writing in English.
3. A variety of resources are available to access all students.
4. Instruction is organized around goals that are tied to ESL/ELD standards and the core curriculum.
I found out the diffrences:
My rubric tends to be less general and not specifically stated campare to yellow rubric.
For instance, as for assessment, yellow rubric has more general criteria which is resources, progressing, priorites and modifying.
But mine is limited and vague criteria provided.
Each category needs to be more evaluated in general and specific manner.
I'd recommend this text book for pre-intermidiate college students sho focus on their speaking proficienty, not reading or grammar proficiency.
If suppor materials provided to meet each revel of students the text book would be more available to assess all studnets.
