Objective PET, Teacher's Book, Hashemi L., Thomas B., 2013.

   This new edition of Objective PET is the result of extensive updating and revision in consultation with teachers around the world who have been using the book with their classes.
For the second edition, the authors have also taken the opportunity to refer frequently to the Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC), an electronic collection of Cambridge ESOL candidates’ scripts from all over the world. Currently containing more than 27 million words of data, around 3 million words of recent candidate writing are added to the CLC each year. This unique resource has given the authors a more accurate and fully up-to-date picture of the strengths and weaknesses of PET candidates. When you see the above icon in the Student’s Book, it means that this language area has been identified in the Cambridge Learner Corpus as an area in which learners often need extra practice, and the exercises are based on actual examples taken from the corpus.

Translation (suitable for most units).
• For monolingual classes with bilingual teachers. Translate the target words into the students’ mother tongue. Give them a separate list of definitions (in English) and the translations (not in the same order).
• First ask students to match the definitions to the words in their mother tongue, then ask them to provide the English words. This is a useful exercise for students whose mother tongue is not similar to English and who have particular problems with remembering vocabulary and spelling.
