Andy Coombs – författare

Sprakande språkglädje i olika temanGood Stuff Gold är vårt mest uppskattade engelskläromedel genom tiderna, känd för sina sprakande lekfulla texter och sin tydliga, lättjobbade struktur. I Textbook är texterna indelade i två nivåer.

Noggrant utprövade temanDe tematiskt indelade textböckerna utgör kärnan i Good Stuff GOLD. Temana är noggrant utprövade för att passa elevernas mognadsnivå och intressen och ge nya perspektiv på språket och kulturen. Temana ska också bjuda in till samtal i alla former. Ett exempel är kapitlet "Me on Wheels" i Good Stuff GOLD C, som inte bara behandlar cykel- och motorsport utan också hjulets historia och olika handikappidrotter. Kapitlet avslutas med en fartfylld skräcknovell från en berg-och-dalbana.

Oavkortade originaltexter Textböckerna innehåller i största möjliga mån oavkortade originaltexter, eftersom det är värdefullt för läsupplevelsen och inlärningen att få arbeta med hela texter. Texter som har en början, en mitt och ett slut. Inte sällan med en oväntad knorr! Huvudförfattaren till Good Stuff GOLD, Andy Coombs, har en unik förmåga att skriva spännande kortnoveller och lite skruvade berättelser, som griper tag i eleverna. Många plöjer texterna helt på egen hand, utan att tänka på att de faktiskt läser på engelska!

Många olika genrer, från olika delar av världen Förutom originalnoveller och andra skönlitterära texter finns det gott om sakprosa från olika medier: faktatexter, artiklar, blogginlägg, mejl, etc. Det genomarbetade språket i textböckerna gör faktatexterna inbjudande och lättillgängliga för läsaren, även när innehållet är lite tuffare.

Det finns ofta texter med realiaanknytning, som följs upp av övningar och projektförslag i Workbook och lärarmaterialet. Såväl texternas innehåll som deras inläsningar representerar många olika delar i världen där engelska talas.

Övningar med sprakande språkglädje!Good Stuff Gold är vårt mest uppskattade engelskläromedel genom tiderna, känd för sina sprakande lekfulla texter och sin tydliga, lättjobbade struktur. Workbook innehåller rikligt med övningar som tränar elevernas förmågor: läsa, lyssna, tala, skriva.

Övningar på olika nivåerI Workbook finns mängder av varierade övningar på olika nivåer. På den textnära nivån finns gott om övningar som tränar läsförståelse och befäster ny vokabulär från texterna i Textbook.

Eleverna får ofta arbeta med uppskattade övningstyper som korsord, tipsrader och true or false-övningar. På en annan nivå ligger de övningar som tränar muntlig och skriftlig kommunikation med olika syften och i olika genrer. Det kan handla om att skriva egna dialoger, återberätta det viktigaste från en text eller intervjua sina klasskamrater.

Alla övningar är märkta med vilken färdighet som är i fokus – words, phrases, writing, speaking och listening. Det finns också fördjupningsuppgifter för egenproduktion i tal och skrift. Tanken är att alla ska känna att det finns övningar som passar dem, just där de är i språkutvecklingen.

Jake är den ny killen i klassen. Det är inte enkelt för någon som Jake att byta skola. Varför? För Jake är fantastisk, men det har ingen annan fattat än. De andra i skolan tycker mest att han låter udda - han är från norra England - och de tycker att hans humor är helskum. Faktum är att i deras öron låter han mest oförskämd och kanske till och med lite elak när han skämtar. Att vara den nya killen är en riktig uppförsbacke. När Jake sedan blir anklagad för att ha fuskat på ett stort prov, så blir saker och ting ännu tuffare. Nu måste han på alla sätt försöka bevisa att han är oskyldig. Hur gör man det när ingen är beredd att tro på ett enda ord du säger?
