Assignment C - Part 1
An Evaluation of Cutting Edge Advanced
✓ Use the checklist from unit 10 ('Evaluating course book material') to write a general
evaluation of the book.
✓ You won't be able to comment on all items as you only have one unit and the
contents, but say as much as you can.
✓ This must be presented as a coherent essay, not just a list.
✓ Then say whether you personally would like to use the book with an advanced class
and why or why not - this is just your opinion, so there is not a right or a wrong
response to this part.
✓ You do not need to refer to the class described for Part 2 of this assignment.
✓ Write 300 - 500 words.
The material of this course book is clearly structured by following WBP stages. The
language, topic, vocabulary, activities and tasks are all appropriate and logical to
advance level students. The activities get progressively more complex and
challenging at an appropriate speed.
After analysing the whole unit (Global Living) and scope and sequence, it can be
easily seen that task based approach is used in this course book thus students
interact with other students in pairs and groups in order to complete the tasks. In
this way, they can enhance both their receptive and productive skills and build
confidence. The listening and reading texts are interesting and authentic
sounding/looking and culturally appropriate for any culture, belief or ethnic group
therefore students will have a lot to say and stay motivated throughout all activities
in the unit. Based on the numerous exercises with clear explanation and some of
them with examples, students can also work independently and there are plenty of
opportunities for recycling and revision. On the other hand, lots of discussions and
different variety of other activities such as writing a report, interview, argument
might be intimidating time to time but it helps on building confidence and gives
students a sense of achievement at the end of the lesson.
