Common European Framework (CEF)
Learning and Exam skills
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
In Sync 4 is the fourth level of the In Sync series, which is intended for teenage learners. Each Student Book in the series follows a carefully developed structural /
grammatical syllabus highlighting the communicative function of each structure. The lesson feature, Use your English, introduces frequently used phrases and expressions
that are outside the structural syllabus. There is graded development of speaking, writing, listening, and reading, using up-to-date topics that appeal to the target users.
Students practice fundamental learning skills such as skimming, scanning, predicting, listening for the general idea, and listening for detail. There is also regular training in
pronunciation.
The topics begin with the familiar experiences of teens but then extend to include elements of history, geography, literature, financial management, health and citizenship.
This broadening of topics helps develop the students’ world experience and knowledge. Students also learn functional language for doing things such as shopping for clothes,
inviting people to do things, showing concern, reacting to good and bad news, talking about imaginary situations, asking for and giving advice, speaking on the phone and
leaving messages, describing problems, explaining things, apologizing, giving opinions, and giving and receiving congratulations.
In terms of both language and communication In Sync 4 provides thorough coverage of the B1 level, giving learners a communicative ability in intermediate level English.
Three unique features of the In Sync program are the include:
1 the red transparent filter, which can be used to create cloze texts. Completing cloze texts focuses the learners’ attention on key grammar points or language conventions.
2 the Solve it! questions, which invite students to use higher-order thinking skills to analyze texts in order to solve problems.
3 the wide array of extra practice activities, which make the book suitable for mixed-ability classes.
In addition to the Language Builder, the CD-ROM provides linked grammar, vocabulary activities, and games for the computer or the interactive white board. In Sync 4
is a book created by three highly respected and experienced authors, writing at their best.
