 * Introduction to the course-**

**Look at this PowerPoint:**

First this week we will look at the Academic Word List, you need to click on this link and then follow the instructions for the activity - The Academic Word List (AWL) when you have finished come back here.

Some words in this unit present problems, there is a special page called the Tricky vocabulary page where I will post extra help with these words. The very first word in the Unit 6 AWL is one of these, click on the link and read what it says about 'affect'. Then come back here.

Now click on this link and complete the crossword, all the answers are from the AWL in this unit. Just click on any number in the crossword to see the clue, if you need help, click 'Hint' but try not to do this too much. You may need to download Hot Potatoes first, it's free.



Now that we have the target vocabulary we can turn to the pre-reading exercise. Open your IR book at page 72 and for 15 minutes, in groups of four, discuss each of the three questions at the top of the page. Each of you should take a different role in the group, one of you should lead the discussion, another take notes and the third team member should be the timekeeper. The remaining member will be responsible for reporting the answers to the whole class who should discuss the points raised.
