If you are using the book you do not need a syllabus as this is laid out clearly for you in the table of content section.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> You will find the language point , the vocabulary, the skills you focus on for each Unit. The syllabus is progressive and the vocabulary is recycled and built on unit by unit. This means it is best to do the lessons in sequence.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> As for tests, in a colloaquial class, tests are prefrebally regulated through : students' presentations and listening comprehension. At the end of each Unit, you have the Real life section which you can also use as a test or a review unit for all the language you have taught in a particular Unit. Of course you can always conduct a vocabulary test every other week to review vocabulary , these tets are better done through pictures (you can use the ones provided in the book or your own.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> For review of expressions you can always record situations and ask students to select from multiple choices the best expression to use according to their understanding of the situation.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> If interested i can prepare a demo test for you after the 26th of july in shaa allah.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> Hope you find this information useful.
