Remember, the instructor’s goal is to help students reach fluency by focusing on each course’s stated student learning outcomes.
To use inlingua resources effectively in the classroom, you need to understand what is available and where to find them.
The inlingua Materials include the following components:
1. Trainer Resource Pack, including Resource Sheets
2. Student Book, including Communication Activities and CDs with
Listening Exercises
3. Student Exercise Workbook, including CDs with Listening
Exercises (except for GPP English 4 and 5)
4. Supplementary Listening CDs, with recordings of the dialogues
presented in the Student Book
5. inlingua Online Learning (iOL) system
6. Progress and Achievement Tests, to be administered at specified
points during the academic quarter as indicated in the curriculum
Using inlingua Resources Effectively
• The Trainer Resource Pack contains guidance for teaching the material in the 30 Units of each Level.
• At the beginning of each Unit, there is an Overview of the structures and vocabulary to be taught, language to be reviewed, tips for presentation, and resources available.
• Be sure to adequately prepare for each and every class that you teach with inlingua by carefully reviewing the Trainer Resource Pack (including all available inlingua resources for each unit) and the course syllabus.
• All resources to be used during class should be gathered as part of your preparation. This includes the Resource Sheets, Student Book or Workbook, and Supplementary CDs.
• Be sure to keep the Trainer Resource Pack open at all times during your presentation of the lesson. If you find yourself having trouble thinking of how to present the material, use the dialogue boxes and suggested ways of presenting the material.
The Trainer Resource Pack (TRP)
Resource Sheets are available in the TRP and are meant to be used during Presentation, Practice, and Production.
Resource Sheets (RS)
Resource Sheets are designed to be reproduced and used as in- class activities. It is essential to use every RS available for each Unit.
The instructions and suggested uses for each RS are found in the Trainer Resource Pack (TRP); however, you can also use them in
your own creative way.
Resource Sheets keep students motivated because they are able to use language in new and realistic ways.
■ Talking points ■ Find someone who… ■ Questionnaires ■ Games ■ Cue cards ■ Quizzes and tests
■ Vocabulary practice ■ Problem solving exercises ■ Role plays ■ Grammar practice ■ Visuals and realia: charts, maps, diagrams, etc.
Resource Sheets include activities such as:
The inlingua Student Book Sample Vocabulary Summary and Progress Check
The solutions to Progress Checks are only found in the back of the TRP
Communication Activities (CA)
Found in the back of the Student Book, Communication Activities are visually-based or information-gap activities designed for the teacher to use with the whole class or break students into pairs or small groups.
The Communication Activities that are specifically designed for
pairs/small group work have separate parts (A, B, and sometimes C) . The instructor should assign one student or a team of students to each part and provide detailed instructions. While students are working, the instructor should observe the different pairs/groups to provide additional support as necessary.
The number of the Communication Activity does not necessarily match the Book Unit number. You will find the CA in the Overview of the Unit in the TRP.
The instructions for Communication Activities are found in the Trainer Resource Pack for the Unit they correspond to.
Communication Activities (CA)
Sample Communication Activities (CA) from the Student Book
The instructor should use CA to facilitate the Presentation, Practice and Production stages of the lesson.
The inlingua Student Workbook • In addition to the
Student Book, instructors have access to copies of the Student Workbook in the center library
• Most IEP students
do not receive a personal copy
inlingua Listening CDs and Supplementary CDs
• Listening CDs are found in the back of the Student Book and/or Workbook
• Supplementary CDs are available upon request from the center administration
• We no longer use cassettes
Your username and password are created once you are assigned to a GPIP course.

Password last six digits of your social security number, no hyphens
inlingua Online Learning Website address = http://www.serverws4.com/fx/i_miami/
Features of the iOL system include: Level-specific Workbook Exercises Level-specific Learning Path Activities Vocabulary and Dictionary Grammar Book Results Tracking
Speaking and Listening Practice Reading and Writing Practice Customizable News Internal Messaging Useful Links
All GPIP and TL2 students have access to iOL
Only GPIP instructors are expected to provide support in the iOL system
GPIP instructors need to assign appropriate iOL content for all students in their group as well as evaluate the students’ progress on a weekly basis (instructors receive compensation for one 45-minute unit for iOL work each week)
Testing Materials: Progress Test Achievement Test
• The center administration will provide you with enough copies of the Progress or Achievement Test for the students in your group when it is time to administer it (either at the midpoint or end of the quarter)
• The test instructions will be provided to you each time
• Do not to use the pass and fail scale in the inlingua instructions because we use higher values, refer to the curriculum sheet for the correct passing score value for your course
• These tests are administered during regular class time and indicated on the pedagogical chart
• Students must use the provided answer sheet, which is where you will indicate the final test score
• Submit the final scored answer sheet for each student to the center administration; make sure that you clearly indicate each section score, the total score, and a proficiency value from the ILR scale
• After all tests are scored, use regular class time to review the results and answers with the class (this may take place on a different day for large groups)
