Read through the first two sections – The Elac Approach and Speak English!

Now minimise the window (or turn over your copy of the document) and ask yourself these questions:

	Can I think of three of the nine ways to encourage my learners to speak English?
	Which ways seems most suited to my teaching style?
	What will be the first two of my teacher's duties when we draw up the class contract on the first day?
	Who do I see if I'm having problems getting some people to speak English?

Now read through the sections on The Aims of our programme and Improving motivation and ask yourself:

	How's my handwriting and board organisation?  Score it from 1 to 10.
	If I've scored below 5, what I am going to do now to make it better?
	Why should I maintain a positive attitude to British culture?
	How am I going to dress when I teach?

Now read on to the bottom of page 4 and then click this for a quick quiz.

Welcome back.  Now read through the first part of the Elac syllabus – levels.

Without looking again, which level is higher – C1 or A1?

Now look through the skills syllabus, to the end of page 9 and try this .  You will probably have to check before you can confidently answer the questions.  Don't worry – this quiz is designed to help you become familiar with the syllabus; it's not a memory test!

Welcome back.  Now skim the next part of the syllabus – structures, vocabulary and pronunciation – down to the end of page 11.  When you've done that, try this .

Right.  Now read through to the end of the document and try the last .

Good.  One final question – which bits did you have the most trouble with?  Please go back and review those areas.  It's important that you are up to speed from the first day of your contract.
