Speakout Advanced Plus2NDEDITIONSpeakout Second Edition, a comprehensive eight-level general English course for adults, hasbeen developed in association with BBC Worldwide and BBC Learning English. The courseintegrates authentic video from popular BBC programmes and builds the skills and knowledgelearners need to express themselves confi dently in a real English-speaking environment.Completely revised and aligned to the Global Scale of English, this edition has striking newvisuals, updated reading and listening texts, new video clips and a large bank of additional practicematerial.Speakout ExtraSpeakout Extra provides downloadable worksheets that meet learners’ individual needs by providing them with additional grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and skills practice. It also includes extra video exploitation activities to help learners get the most out of the BBC clips.New Plus levelsIntermediate Plus helps students progress along the intermediate plateau eff ectively. It is for new students who are at the upper end of intermediate and for existing students who are progressing through intermediate and need new material to motivate them. Intermediate Plus extends the vocabulary of Intermediate and revisits key language areas that are known to be problematic at that level. It covers more challenging areas of language and skills, and more subtleties of meaning in the grammar.Advanced Plus uses completely new material to expose students to the authentic language that is at the heart of advanced-level learning. It focuses on shades of meaning by contrasting language and covering idiomatic expressions. Advanced Plus gives students who need longer to be confi dent at this level the option to extend their advanced learning.Course Components Students’ Book with DVD-ROM Students’ Book with DVD-ROM & MyEnglishLab Class Audio CDs Workbook with Audio CD (with and without key) Teacher’s Book with Resource and Assessment Disc ActiveTeach Website: pearsonELT.com/speakout2e
2 Speakout Advanced PlusThe Global Scale of English and the CommonEuropean Framework of ReferenceThe Global Scale of English is a standardised, granular scale from 10 to 90 which measures Englishlanguage profi ciency. It is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Unlike the CEFR, which describes profi ciency in terms of broad levels, the Global Scale of English identifi es what a learner can do at each point on a more granular scale—and within a CEFR level. The scale is designed to motivate learners by demonstrating incremental progress in their language ability. The Global Scale of English forms the backbone for Pearson English course material and assessment.CEFR and the Global Scale of English both comprise a number of Can Do statements for each of the four language skills, describing what learners should be able to do at diff erent levels of profi ciency. The Global Scale of English Can Do statements have been aligned to the CEFR, and many additional statements created, rated for diffi culty, and calibrated to the scale.This document provides an overview of the Can Do statements that are covered in each unit of thecourse. For each learning objective we indicate whether a statement is from the original CEFR or newly created by Pearson English:(C) (Ca) (CJa) (Ea) (N2000a) (N2007a) (P) (Wa) Common European Framework descriptor, verbatim, Council of Europe Common European Framework descriptor, adapted or edited, Council of Europe (N2000) North (2000) descriptor, verbatimCEFR-J descriptor, adapted or editedEiken descriptor, adapted or edited Eiken Foundation of JapanNorth (2000) descriptor, adapted or editedNorth (2007) expanded set of C1 and C2 descriptors, adapted or editedNew Pearson English descriptorWIDA ELD Standards (2012), adapted or edited[Note] In page references, (V) denotes the skill-based activities that specifically exploit the BBC clips.Speakout Second Edition Advanced Plus is aligned with the Global Scale of English and the CommonEuropean Framework of Reference. It takes learners from CEF A1 to C2 (22-88 on the Global Scale of English). Each lesson guides students to a ‘Can Do’ goal in line with the Global Scale of English and the Common European Framework ‘Can Do’ statements.102030405060708090C1C2Advanced PlusAdvancedUpper IntermediateIntermediate rCEFR A1A1A2 B1 B2 Learn more about the Global Scale of English at english.com/gse
