Course). Assignment C complete.
[Correctly Passed] A+ Grade.

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 book contains a wide range of relevant and functional
materials and exercises, that include mind-maps, role-plays, fill in the
blanks, matching exercises, as well as conscious-raising activities and
discussion questions. I also can see that the four skills are well balanced
in terms of activities offered to develop each skill. I can see that all the
materials are attractively and clearly presented in the book.

, The fact that a lot of mind-maps are repeatedly used throughout
the unit helps students to assimilate the material much easier as well as
demonstrate the connection of different lexical terms making them
more memorable. Furthermore, the contents pages show that the book
has a functional focus, thus, the units are organized with an emphasis
on functionality and there are a lot of activities that give students the
ability to communicate effectively in various everyday situations.

The topics are very interesting and appropriate for the age of the
group. Since adults have a lot of experience in life and their opinions
about its different aspects are quite formed, I am sure

,that they will find topics such as globalisation, self-improvement,
education very interesting and entertaining.

On the other hand, I can see that the book offers contextualized
practice of grammar and vocabulary to make the learning process more
memorable and engaging (this point is of utmost importance for the
learners). The speaking activities are very well structured and provide
students with the effective and meaningful practice which can be
carried out in pairs as well as in the small/big groups.

The book also contains a variety of real-life photos that makes it
appealing to adults and young adults (which I guess this book is aimed
at). Besides, these colourful visuals introduce characters, stories and
set the settings for the listening exercises, so the students are able to
activate their previous knowledge about the topic and make predictions
about the language and vocabulary being used.

Every unit starts with the clear goals and it ends with an “after
unit” section in which students can evaluate themselves by reflecting
on their own progress and what they are able to do after completing the
unit. These kinds of self-evaluating activities tend to give students not
only a sense of achievement, but also help them identify the areas to
improve and to practice more.

I also like the idea that all the points seen during the lesson are
summarised in the language summary and practice sections at the end
of the book (language summary, grammar, and vocabulary practice). It

, can help students who are having difficulty and can provide more
practice for students who want to practice more and revise the
material.

I was wondering if the coursebooks currently offer a digital
version as well. If this is the case it would be one of the biggest points
in its favour.

All in all, since my knowledge of the students will be based on their
need’s analysis, and our relation will be developed throughout the
course because I will get to know them better, I will decide whether I
need to add or omit something from the course book material, but I
definitely would use this book in my course!
