APPENDIX
An Overview
Chapter-Opening Photos
Each chapter-opening page features two photographs of situations that depict
key topics presented in the chapter. Students make predictions about who
the people are and what they might be saying to each other. In this way,
students have the opportunity to share what they already know and to relate
the chapter’s content to their own lives and experiences.
Guided Conversations
Guided conversations are the dialogs and exercises that are the central learning
devices in ExpressWays. Each lesson begins with a model conversation that
depicts a real-life situation and the vocabulary, grammar, and functions used in
the communication exchange. Key functional expressions in the models are in
boldface type and are footnoted, referring students to short lists of alternative
expressions for accomplishing the functions. In the exercises that follow,
students create new conversations by placing new content into the framework
of the model, and by using any of the alternative functional expressions.
InterChange
This end-of-chapter activity offers students the opportunity to create and present
“guided role plays.” Each activity consists of a model that students can practice
and then use as a basis for their original presentations. Students should be
encouraged to be inventive and to use new vocabulary in these presentations and
should feel free to adapt and expand the model any way they wish.
Rest Stop
These “free role plays” appear after every few chapters, offering review and j
synthesis of the topics, functions, and grammar of the preceding chapters.
Students are presented with eight scenes depicting conversations between people
in various situations. The students determine who the people are and what they
are talking about, and then improvise based on their perceptions of the scenes’
characters, contexts, and situations. These improvisations promote students’
absorption of the preceding chapters’ functions and grammar into their
repertoire of active language use.

Chapter-Opening Photos
Have students talk about the people and the situations and, as a class or in
pairs, predict what the characters might be saying to each other. Students in
pairs or small groups may enjoy practicing role plays based on these scenes
and then presenting them to the class.
Guided Conversations
1. SETTING THE SCENE: Have students look at the model illustration in the
book. Set the scene: Who are the people? What is the situation?
“4
2. LISTENING: With books closed, have students listen to the model
conversation — presented by you, by a pair of students, or on the
audiotape.
3. CLASS PRACTICE; With books still closed, model each line and have the
whole class practice in unison.
4. READING: With books open, have students follow along as two students
present the model.
5. PAIR PRACTICE: In pairs, have students practice the model conversation.
6. ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSIONS: Present to the class each sentence of the
dialog containing a footnoted expression. Call on different students to
present the same sentence, replacing the footnoted expression with its
alternatives. (You can cue students to do this quickly by asking, “What's
another way of saying that?” or “How else could he/she/you say that?”)
7. EXERCISE PRACTICE: (optional) Have pairs of students simultaneously
practice all the exercises, using the footnoted expressions or any of their
alternatives
8. EXERCISE PRESENTATIONS: Call on pairs of students to present the
exercises, using the footnoted expressions or any of their alternatives.
CrossTalk
Have students first work in pairs and then share with the class what they
talked about.
InterActions
Have pairs of students practice role playing the activity and then present
their role plays to the class.
InterView
Have students circulate around the room to conduct their interviews, or have
students interview people outside the class. Students should then report to
the class about their interviews.

Cultural Intersections
Your Turn
This activity is designed for both writing practice and'discussion. Have students
discuss the activity as a class, in pairs, or in small groups. Then have students
write their responses at home, share their written work with other students, and
discuss in class. Students may enjoy keeping a journal of their written work. If
time permits, you may want to write a response to each student's journal, sharing
your own opinions and experiences as well as reacting to what the student has
written. If you are keeping portfolios of students’ work, these compositions serve
as excellent examples of students’ progress in learning English.
Reading
Have students discuss the topic of the reading beforehand, using the pre-reading
questions suggested in the Teacher's Guide. Have students then read the passage
silently, or have them listen to the passage and take notes as you read it or play
the audiotape.
InterChange
Have students practice the model, using the same steps listed above for guided
conversations. Then have pairs of students create and present original
conversations, using the model dialog as a guide. Encourage students to be
inventive and to use new vocabulary. (You may want to assign this exercise as
homework, having students prepare their conversations, practice them the next
day with another student, and then present them to the class.) Students should
present their conversations without referring to the written text, but they should
also not memorize them. Rather, they should feel free to adapt and expand them
any way they wish.
Rest Stop
Have students talk about the people and the situations, and then present role
plays based on the scenes. Students may refer back to previous lessons as a
resource, but they should not simply re-use specific conversations. (You may
want to assign these exercises as written homework, having students prepare
their conversations, practice them the next day with another student, and then
present them to the class.)

We hope that ExpressWays offers you and your students a journey to English that
is meaningful, effective, and entertaining. Have a nice trip!

InterActions
Who do you think these people are? What are they saying to each other? With a partner, create
role plays based on these situations and present them to the class.
Cultural Intersections
In the situations on pages 2 and 3, new neighbors, students, and co-workers are meeting for the first
time. They greet each other, introduce themselves, and then begin a conversation. People ask
questions such as:
Where are you from? Which apartment do you live in? Who is your supervisor?
( What floor do you live on? When did you start working here? Whose class are you in?
In your country, what questions are appropriate to ask someone when you first meet? What questions
are inappropriate? Talk with a partner and then share your observations with the class.
Figure It Out!
With a partner, create a scene in which two people meet
for the first time. The characters should greet each other,
introduce themselves, and then begin a conversation.
Present your scenes to the class, but don’t tell what the
relationship is and where the conversation is taking place:
The rest of the class must guess, based on the questions
you ask in your conversations.
Are you neighbors?
Are you students in a class?
Are you at a party?
Are you waiting together at a doctor's office?

Reading: Honk! Honk!
Rush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world.
Commuters rush to and from their jobs in cars, buses, subways, trains, and
even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours—one .
in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in other parts of the world, there are four
rush hours. In Athens and Rome, for example, many workers go home for lunch and a nap.
After this midday break, they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.
In Tokyo, there’s a big rush hour underground. Most of
the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very
crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves
and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors
close. They,make sure that all purses, briefcases, clothes, and
hands are inside the trains.
Subways in Tokyo are crowded because most people don’t drive. They take the train.
In Seoul, people have to pay double the normal taxi fare.
There aren't any large highways in Athens or Rome because of the historic sites in
these cities.

Some supermarkets are enormous these days, with aisles
and aisles of different kinds of foods and products. For example,
you can find fifteen to twenty different kinds of cheese in the
Dairy section. You can find many different brands of toilet tissue
in the Paper Products section. The Frozen Food section has
everything from cans of frozen apple juice tb bags of mixed
vegetables and frozen pizza.
Many supermarkets also have a big Health Care Products aisle.
This section is like a small drug store, with different brands
of medicines, shampoos, toothpastes, and other health care items.
Some supermarkets even sell magazines, books, shoes, underwear,
hammers, screwdrivers, and other household products.
Many supermarkets offer services, too. You can
leave your film there and return the next day to get
your photographs. You can use a special card in money
machines to take money out of your bank. In some
supermarkets, you can even rent floor polishers, carpet
cleaners, and movies!
Shoppers in many supermarkets can buy snacks
and cold drinks from vending machines. In some
places, tired, hungry shoppers can sit down and enjoy a
fresh cup of coffee and a donut at a supermarket snack
bar or coffee shop.

of goods and services are not the only places to buy
food. There are also smaller grocery stores. These

Reading: The Job Interview a a | h
— a mo
When a job opening is advertised, there are often a
lot of people interested in applying. Many job hunters
send in their resumes and apply for the same position.
Sometimes a company will receive hundreds of
resumes for a single job opening. The job interview,
therefore, is very important. In the interview, an
applicant must demonstrate that he or she is the best
person for the job. .
Because job interviews are so critical, some job
hunters read books or take courses to help them make *
a good first impression. These books and courses are
full of advice and suggestions to help job applicants
prepare for their interviews. For example, successful
applicants dress appropriately and have a clean and
neat appearance. They take their resume, a listing of
their education and work experience, with them to the
interview. They also prepare a list of questions about
the job or the company. They go to the interview alone
and are always on time.
At the beginning of the interview, the applicant
shakes hands firmly with the employer. The employer
usually invites the applicant to sit down. During the
interview, it is appropriate to smile often and to look
directly into the eyes of the interviewer. The applicant
doesn't chew gum or smoke during the interview. The
applicant is prepared to answer questions about
education and previous jobs. More difficult questions
are possible, such as “Why did you leave your last
position?” Sometimes interviewers also try to get to:
know the applicant better. They ask questions about
the applicant’s personal background, family, and
hobbies. Interviewers expect applicants to talk proudly,
confidently, and truthfully about their work experience,
skills, goals, and abilities. When the interview is over,
the applicant stands up, shakes hands with the
interviewer, and says thank you for the time the person
has spent.
Job applicants who can show they are capable,
well-prepared, punctual, polite, and honest have a
better chance of getting the job they’re looking for.
~ & Job hunters often have interviews with employers before they apply.
® It is important to perform well during job interviews.
® Job applicants really shouldn't ask questions during an interview.

Figure It Out!
With a partner, make a list of “DOs and DON’Ts” — ten things you think a job applicant should do
before and during a job interview, and ten things a job applicant shouldn't do.
Read your list to the class. For each item, have students decide: Is this something a job applicant
should do or shouldn’t do? After you have finished, make [Link] list of the most important “DOs

Very often, we have small medical problems that aren’t serious enough to require a visit to
the doctor's office. Problems such as a sore throat, a stomachache, or a stuffy nose can often
be taken care of with over-the-counter medicines available on drug store shelves. However,
many people prefer to treat minor medical problems with home remedies. These solutions
vary from country to country, from family to family, and even from person to person.
Stomachaches can be
treated with antacids that
are available at local drug
stores, but many people first try drinking soda to settle their
stomachs. Another more natural remedy is peppermint tea.
In addition to the
various cold medicines
available, many people treat their colds by having a bowl
of homemade chicken soup or a clove of fresh garlic.
Others like to drink hot water with lemon and honey
before they go to bed.
Modern medicine has progressed greatly in the past few years, but there
are still times
when it’s very convenient to rely on good old home remedies.

Reading: Catalog Stores
Shoppers in the United States have many different retail stores to choose from. They
can shop at large department stores, furniture stores, jewelry stores, electronic equipment
stores, clothing boutiques, and many others. Another type ,
of retail store, the catalog store, has become popular with
U.S. consumers.
Catalog stores offer much of the same merchandise as
conventional retail stores. However, in these stores,
shoppers select the items they wish to buy from large
catalogs that are filled with photographs and descriptions _
of all the different merchandise. The variety of products
listed in the catalogs includes everything from appliances
and baby clothing to video equipment and watches.
The prices of these items are comparatively low. In fact,
the same items often cost more in other retail stores.
And that’s the reason many people prefer to shopsinn
catalog stores.
When shoppers go to a catalog store, they see many
brand-name products on display. If they are interested in
purchasing an item, they need to follow this simple
procedure.
e First, they go to a counter to find the store's catalog.
e They look in the catalog to find the exact item they
wish to buy.
e Then, they fill out an order form with the name of
the item, the item number from the catalog, the
price, and their name and address.
e After completing the form, the customer gives it to
a salesperson, who checks to see if the item is in
stock.
e If the item is available, the stockroom sends it ona
conveyor belt to the pick-up counter. When the item
arrives at the pick-up counter, the customer’s name is
called, and the customer pays for the item.
The whole procedure usually takes ten to twenty
minutes. If the item isn’t available, the salesperson can
usually check the store’s computer and find out when it will
be in stock again.
Catalog stores usually don’t offer all the services that
regular retail stores do. They usually don’t have very many
salespeople, so customers can’t expect to receive much
assistance or attention from store employees. Customers
need to know about the features and the quality of the items
they wish to buy before they shop, since there isn’t much opportunity to
ask questions or examine the products in the store. However, catalog stores offer
quality items at lower prices, and consumers seem to appreciate this.
A catalog store is a type of retail store.
The items in catalog stores often cost more than items at other stores.
In catalog stores, customers have to fill out order forms to purchase items.
Customers at catalog stores use the store’s computer to check the availability of items.
Catalog stores are probably popular because the services they offer are excellent.

don’t just go to the movies anymore. They take the movie home! The videocassette
recorder, or VCR, has made this possible, and it has helped change people's lives.
Going to movie theaters can be enjoyable, but
sometimes it isn’t a very pleasant experience. People
have to stand in line to buy tickets, which might cost
seven dollars or more apiece. Several more dollars are
spent on popcorn, candy, and drinks. Sometimes it’s
difficult to find good seats, and often the seats
are uncomfortable. In addition, there is always
the possibility that a very tall person will sit down
in front of the moviegoer and block the screen. It can
also be disturbing when people get up to go to the
snack bar or to the bathroom in the middle of the film.
For many people, however, enjoying a movie still means a night out at the neighborhood
movie theater. For these moviegoers, nothing can replace the excitement of watching their
favorite actors and actresses as they appear larger than life on a big movie screen. And for
them, waiting in line, running to get good seats, and sitting with a huge box of popcorn
surrounded by other moviegoers is all part of the special movie theater experience that a
VCR just can’t match. :
@ VCRs have changed the way people watch movies.
w VCRs cost just a few dollars.
® People like the convenience of VCRs.
@ You can only rent videotapes from video stores.
G Many people still prefer to go to movie theaters.

In the ExpressWays series, the dimensions of function, form, and content interact to promote communicative competence by creating a tri-dimensional clustering in each lesson. This approach simultaneously provides students with practical engagement in using grammatical forms (form) to express language functions (function) in various practical settings (content). For instance, lessons are designed around real-life contexts in community, school, or social settings, exposing students to different communication registers, from formal to informal . This methodology ensures that learners are not just practicing language mechanically but are using it dynamically across multiple scenarios, which is crucial for achieving communicative competence .
'InterChange' activities in the ExpressWays curriculum enable creative language production by providing structured opportunities for students to craft and present guided role plays. Each activity includes a model that students can practice and adapt, encouraging them to incorporate new vocabulary, expressions, and ideas . By allowing modifications and expansions of the given model, these activities foster creativity, initiative, and originality in language usage, empowering students to communicate more dynamically and fluently in both familiar and novel contexts .
'Figure It Out!' activities align with the ExpressWays program's objective of fostering critical thinking by engaging students in problem-solving exercises that require them to analyze and apply language knowledge in new contexts. These activities challenge students to think independently and creatively, integrate different language skills, and make informed decisions within communicative environments . This approach not only enhances linguistic competence but also develops cognitive skills crucial for real-world problem solving, thereby aligning with the broader educational goal of nurturing critical thinkers .
The ExpressWays Teacher’s Guides suggest diverse pedagogical strategies to accommodate varying teaching styles and student needs. These include using chapter-opening photos to stimulate discussions on real-life situations, and guided conversations structured in clear, progressive steps from setting the scene, listening, to reading and practicing . Additionally, they recommend interactive activities like role plays and varied exercises to allow for differentiated instruction tailored to learners' proficiency levels and learning preferences . The guides emphasize flexibility, encouraging teachers to adapt strategies to suit their unique classroom dynamic while maintaining the core linguistic goals of the program .
The ExpressWays program encourages integration of language learning with personal experiences and community interactions through activities like CrossTalk, InterActions, and Community Connections. CrossTalk activities allow students to relate lesson content to their own lives, fostering a personal connection to the material . InterActions provide role-playing opportunities, encouraging cooperative learning and real-life application . Community Connections tasks extend learning beyond the classroom by involving task-based assignments within their communities, which encourages students to practice their language skills in authentic settings and contextually relevant manners . This holistic approach not only reinforces language acquisition but makes it more meaningful and applicable to students' everyday lives .
'Rest Stop' activities contribute to the spiral learning method in the ExpressWays series by offering periodic reviews and synthesis of previously covered topics, functions, and grammar structures. These activities provide scenarios where students can practice improvisational role plays based on dialogues from earlier chapters, reinforcing cumulative learning . By revisiting and expanding upon earlier content, students consolidate their understanding and retain functional expressions and grammar, embodying the principles of a spiral curriculum, which builds and intensifies learning at each level .
The ExpressWays curriculum accommodates different learning registers by providing comprehensive practice across formal and informal communication contexts. It covers not only conversational and everyday English used with friends and family but also formal expressions suitable for job interviews and interactions with authority figures . Through its diverse lesson content, which includes role-plays and exercises, students learn to modulate their language according to the context—whether it's a professional setting like a workplace or casual environments like social gatherings . This holistic approach ensures that students are well-equipped to navigate various communicative contexts effectively .
The ExpressWays program comprises several components that interconnect to enhance English language learning outcomes. These include Student Texts, which focus on speaking, reading, writing, and listening comprehension, integrating grammar and functions in a topic-based curriculum . Activity Workbooks reinforce these elements through exercises coordinated with the student texts, also including pronunciation practice . Navigator Companion Books expand on life skills and integrate with student texts, while Teacher’s Guides offer instructional support with background notes and activities . The Audio Program provides realistic conversation exercises, complementing written texts with listening comprehension . A Picture Program employs visual aids for vocabulary enrichment and role-playing activities, while a Testing Program evaluates student progress . These components interrelate through a spiraled curriculum encompassing different competency levels, reinforcing language skills applicable in real-life contexts .
Cultural intersections in the ExpressWays program play a pivotal role by offering students opportunities to engage in cross-cultural comparisons and understanding. These activities are designed to prompt students to reflect on and discuss cultural differences and similarities, thereby broadening their perspective beyond their own cultural framework . By doing so, students develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of other cultures, which is essential for effective communication in a globalized context . This cross-cultural awareness also promotes tolerance and empathy, essential skills in multicultural environments .
Guided conversations in the ExpressWays curriculum support student engagement in real-life communication by utilizing model dialogs that mirror everyday interactions. These conversations introduce vocabulary, grammar, and functional expressions within a real-life context, providing a scaffolding for students to build upon . They are structured to encourage students to substitute new content or expressions freely, creating conversations relevant to their personal experiences and backgrounds . This exercise helps in transitioning them from guided to spontaneous language use, preparing them for real-world language application .
