‘Asshort, practical note on planning and timing.
Being teachers, we know how time flies when preparing lessons and trying to accomplish our teaching goals as we lead
‘students to achieve their learning outcomes, fallin love with the targot language, follow on their progress and have a
‘magical group management to foster language and life skill, Therefore, and considering the above before going deeper
Into the methodology that supports Odyssey, we want to share with you 2 practical reasons on the sequence the units
{follow and on the time needed for each lesson.
‘Sequence of units: 10 units to be taught throughout the schoo! year in 40 weeks. Based on the social practice of the
language and the learning outcomes each unit offers in the program, besides considering the student as an active
participant and responsible for building learning strategies, we believe in taking students step-by step providing
‘confidence at communicating, then immersing in the language and tinaly, analyzing what the language offers so that
fanguage and thinking skills can progress at the same time. Therefore we provide a mixture of learning environments that
‘besides bringing variety to your class, students can grow in the language as they go through the steps mentioned above
ina natural way.
‘Timing: every unit offers 4 lessons, a review and product lesson and an evaluation page. Every lesson is to be taught In
‘a week because it also includes the Reader's book and working on subproducts. However, Odyssey was designed on
providing flexibility for you to choose the order of units you would like to follow to adapt to your teeching needs. We just
invite you to bear in mind that every unit lasts @ month and thatthe lesson plans suggested in this Teacher's book are
‘written in general terms as a set of stops which are there only as a tool but are not mandatory, 60 please feel free to use
‘and adapt the materials but above all, enjoy!
4 TABLE OF CONTENTSAccording to the dictionary, an Oayssey is an exciting journey. Inspired by this
definition, the authors, editors, designers, and arists that participated in putting
together this English course nave worked together to create engaging yet
challenging activities aimed at rragering students’ imagination and to promoting
earning in different ways. in our new Odyssey series, we give students the
opportunity to be amazed by the wonders of our world on a dally basis!
Skills
The world is changing fast, and we need to help our students prepare to face
the challenges of the 21" century and support them in building the skills that
will nelp them succeed. Nowadays, there is an increasing emphasis on what
students can do with information rather than on what they can memorize.
The ability to work well with others, especially with others who might be
very diferent trom ourselves, has also become more important. Based on
recent research reiated to competencies, we have developed a pedagogical
framework that adaresses eight main areas of competency divided into two
major strands: Thinking and Learning Skills and Social Skis,

Each time a student performs an activity, they build on their previous knowledge,
abilities, and skils. This is a spontaneous process, which can make it difficult to
separate these features into cifferent categories. Nevertheless, when students
are exposed to different learning opportunities, itis important to focus on the
development of one or more skills
Involving students in language social practices that demand communicative
interactions in diverse social environments promotes:
+ Use of real-ite English
‘+ The ability to keep on learning
+ Emotional self-control
* Integration of basic knowledge
* Integration of behaviors that tavor collaborative work:
* Respect towards others
* Appreciation of foreign languages and cultures
The topic and purpose of each unit in Oaysseyis defined by a different Social
Practice and each unit oursues the fulilment of a set of Learning Outcomes.
Please see the Scope and Sequence for a more detailed description ofthis.

Oayssey aims to promote actual collaborative learning. Each time students work together
to develop a product, they integrate what they learned in the prevous lessons and get
the opportunity to work together as a team, By working collaboratively, they can share
thelr strengths with others and develop their own weaker skills. They can also develop
their interpersonal abilties as they leam to deal with conflict. We are convinced that by
learning to work in a collaborative way helps students to participate actively in diferent
tasks, and working as part of @ team is both challenging and motivating for students, and
encourages them to acquire new knowledge and skils by facing and solving problems
together
Evaluation
Recent pedagogical research has shown the importance of placing the student at
the center of the learning process. Students should be active participants in their own
learning which includes self and peer evaluation. Every lesson in Oayssey gives the
students an opportunity to rellect on and evaluate what they have just learned and
achieved. This a'so helps teachers to keep track of what needs to be reinforced in
class as well as which students might need additional help with, For the above, we
have included an evaluation too! at the end of every unit for self and peer evaluation on
learning outcomes mainly, and an extra, unit evaluation in your Teacher's book to check
language progress without losing sight of the functional approach in the methodology.
‘When designing the activities for the Odyssey series, we always kept the students firmly
inmind, We believe that students should:
actively participate in the learning process
take part in real lfe-ike communicative activities,
+ develop their own ideas about the relationship between the language and its
‘communicative functions,
‘+ make decisions, accept responsibilities, and have an opinion about the activities
related to the use and analysis of the language.
analyze communicative practices around them to understand, explain, question,
adapl, and correct them depending on the social sphore.
‘be exposed to new communicative situations,
‘work in groups, 19 learn about collaboration, negotiation, etc.
evelop products where they use their prior knowledge, experiences,
and interests
be challenged by realistic life-like tasks.
Mili, —~—————
Remember that as a teacher you use language to transmit ideas. Build rapport with your students by listening to
them and by communicating in an accessible way while using appropriate body language. Address your students
by their names: this will make it easier for you to know where they stand so that you are able to best assist them
and encourage them during the school year so that they improve their English. The following guide includes
‘examples of how you can work with the different activities and readings you wil find 1n Odyssey 5. Feel free to
‘adapt the activities to best suit your needs and those of your students. Keep in rind that "every head is a world”

Activity Book
‘Tho Activity Book contains ten interesting units with
motivating developmentally appropriate activities. Each
unit comprises four lessons. a Review and Product page
ending with an Evalvation designed for students to
‘check an their progress based on the learning outcomes,
inthe unit as wall as evaluating their communicative
abilities when interacting with others. Atthe end of the
‘books, students can find a Picture Dictionary to facilitate
understanding and use of the language.
Just as an extra too! to engage students into working on
researc’ing abilities as well as on critical thinking skills,
we have included some ICT addresses in either the
body of the unit or the Review section. Also. we suggest
using whenever possible these links to offer variety in
activities and tasks. The use of the suggested links Is not
mandatory, therefore if Internet is not available. there is
ne consequence or loss on the learning process af the
language.
