Per molti argomenti, individuati come tra i più comunemente complessi da apprendere, il testo propone delle mappe concettuali che presentano in modo gra! co e schematico le informazioni. A seguito di continue ricerche, abbiamo individuato come la sperimentazione di vari stili di apprendimento, nel caso speci! co attraverso la memoria visiva, aiuti e stimoli la concentrazione e lo studio da parte degli studenti stessi.

I riepiloghi posizionati in maniera sistematica all’interno del testo risulteranno utili e preziosi durante la fase di ripasso di tutti gli argomenti affrontati. In aggiunta a questo, inseriti a conclusione di ogni sezione, esercizi sommativi che ricapitolano sempre dall’inizio del libro, supporteranno i docenti nella fase di ! ssaggio delle strutture grammaticali e lessicali. Le attività di ripasso sopra citate comprendono anche esercizi per la preparazione degli esami Cambridge ESOL PET e FCE.

La grammatica, inoltre fornisce un’abbondanza di esercizi, molti dei quali particolarmente attenti alle attività comunicative, personalizzate, diversi! cate e organizzate per difficoltà crescente. Pur non essendo scopo di questo libro preparare lo studente esclusivamente ad una certi! cazione, una copiosa quantità degli esercizi inclusi viene impostata proprio secondo le tipologie tipiche degli esami più conosciuti. In particolare, molte attività forniscono una speci! ca e attenta preparazione alle sentence transformations-Part 6 di Reading and Writing del Preliminary English Test (PET)- riproposte a livello più alto in Use of English del First Certi! cate in English (FCE). Tali prove costituiscono l’elemento grammaticale più problematico per la maggior parte degli studenti: per questo motivo lo studente ha a disposizione una esaustiva rubrica speci! ca dedicata all’apprendimento delle tecniche necessarie per un’ottima preparazione.

Anche per gli esami certi! cati Trinity, lo studente troverà del materiale speci! co e utile: rimandiamo in particolare alla sezione dedicata alle funzioni linguistiche, fondamentali per una produzione orale dell’inglese efficace, colloquiale e reale.

New Inside Grammar si presta ad essere adoperata in maniera " essibile dal livello post beginner ! no al livello upper intermediate, corrispondenti ai livelli A1 a B2 del Common Framework of Reference, è una grammatica pratica, di facile consultazione rivolta speci! camente agli studenti italiani.

L’articolazione su tre livelli di difficoltà Fondamenti (A1-A2) PET (A2-B1) e FCE (B2) fornisce gli strumenti per affrontare sia il Preliminary English Test che il First Certi! cate.Ogni sezione contiene inizialmente delle unità dedicate al PET a sfondo bianco che presentano la grammatica di base ! no ad un livello intermediate – B1; successivamente ulteriori unità dedicate a FCE, a sfondo rosso, di approfondimento ! no al livello upper intermediate - B2.Tale suddivisione permette l’utilizzo di tutta la prima sezione B1/PET nel primo biennio della scuola secondaria di secondo grado; mentre l’utilizzo della sezione B2/FCE potrà avvenire negli anni successivi.Il sillabo grammaticale è stato ampliato con la nuova sezione Fondamenti dove vengono affrontate con cura tutte le funzioni linguistiche di base. Inoltre, nella parte a sfondo bianco PET sono stati inclusi come novità ulteriori argomenti individuati come più complessi per gli studenti italiani, in modo da coprire tutte le possibili esigenze linguistiche comuni a questo livello.Una nuova sezione di lessico illustrato è inserita ed è concepita a partire dalla wordlist speci! ca dell’esame PET. Gli argomenti lessicali vengono presentati attraverso delle illustrazioni per meglio registrarne il signi! cato e seguiti da esercizi di varia tipologia per mettere in pratica e ! ssare l’apprendimento dei termini.

Le nuove spiegazioni grammaticali prestano particolare importanza allo studente italiano grazie ai molti esempi di grammatica contrastiva che mettono in evidenza le differenze e le similitudini fra le due lingue. Inoltre, una nuova sezione Traduzione, focalizza l’attenzione sulla traduzione dall’italiano all’inglese in modo da prevenire gli errori più comuni fra gli studenti italiani e sviluppare ! n da subito un approccio reale e contestualizzato della lingua stessa.

Il nuovo CD ROM, che accompagna il libro dello studente, permette di ripassare ed esercitarsi sulla grammatica e il lessico in un contesto divertente e interattivo, con esercizi di multiple choice, dialoghi e brani da completare. Il CD ROM contiene anche una sezione dedicata all’ascolto e alla pronuncia con una funzione che permette di registrare la propria voce e confrontarla con un madrelingua.

Nella guida sono fornite 36 Quick Tests fotocopiabili che si possono utilizzare velocemente per controllare l’apprendimento degli studenti. I 20 Full Tests da fotocopiare potranno essere impiegati come prove più approfondite e complete, in quanto comprendono anche attività di ascolto e scrittura. Tutti i test sono modi! cabili in formato Word.
