GSE, Wider World Second Edition Level 3 – Published 2023


2 Wider World Second Edition Level 3

Wider World Second Edition is a new edition of Pearson’s most popular mid-secondary course. It
prepares teenagers for their life ahead by giving them the skills they need to enjoy their social lives,
pursue their studies and succeed in their career.

Highlights

• Authentic English – humourous situations, interviews with real people, and clips taken from BBC
programmes, show language used in real-life situations.
• Global topics – each unit explores the wide diversity of life and culture, exposing students to
topics from around the world, including global citizenship or sustainability goals.
• Future skills – Set for Life is a new development programme mapped to Pearson’s Personal and
Social Capabilities Framework, which helps learners develop the skills they need.
• New BBC videos – clips from BBC programmes remain at the core of the course, with new videos
reflecting important themes, such as culture, global citizenship and topics promoting diversity
and inclusion.
• Mixed ability classes and neurodivergent students – an expanded range of support materials
enable teachers to respond to the needs of all students.
• Extended reading and writing programme – extra focus on the gradual development of reading
and writing skills, providing greater opportunities to learn, practise and recycle the language and
use it in more authentic contexts.

3 Alignment with the Global Scale of English and the Common European Framework of Reference

The Global Scale of English


The GSE is a numerical scale which measures English language proficiency. It is also a framework of
Learning Objectives that describes what a student can do at every level of proficiency on the scale for
each of the four skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. The GSE enables teachers and learners
to answer the following questions accurately:
• How good is my English?
• What progress have I made towards my learning goal?
• What do I need to do next to improve?
It is fully aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), but the
numerical scale enables proficiency to be measured more accurately, more regularly and within a CEFR
level. This keeps learners motivated as they see regular evidence of progress.
GSE helps teachers to find the right course materials for the exact level and learning goals of their
students. The chart below shows the range of objectives that are covered within the content. Knowing
this helps you select course materials with the right level of support and challenge for your learners to
help them make progress.
Wider World Second Edition has been created using the GSE Learning Objectives for both Young
Learners and Adult Learners, because the age range using this course includes learners from both
Groups. These have been used to ensure that the content and activities are at the correct level and
have informed the lesson goals given at the start of each unit.

Measuring proficiency using the Global Scale of English


The GSE underpins everything we create at Pearson English, including coursebooks and assessments.
By using our Benchmark assessments alongside Wider World Second Edition, you will be able to see
the progress being made by students during their course of study. You will also receive rich score
reports which identify strengths and areas for improvement along with recommendations on how to
address these areas using Wider World Second Edition. For this level of Wider World Second Edition, we
recommend Benchmark Young Learners Test Level 4/5 or Benchmark Tests A/B1.
Your students may also want to take a test that gives them a proficiency certificate. For this level of
Wider World Second Edition we recommend Pearson English International Certificate Level 1/2.

4 Wider World Second Edition Level 3

Using the information in this teacher booklet


The GSE teacher booklet lists the key Learning Objectives for listening, reading, speaking and writing
covered in Wider World Second Edition Level 3, unit by unit. There are several ways in which this
information can be used:
• This list of Learning Objectives is more complete than the list of learning goals given in the unit
opener. On the way to mastering those learning goals, students will practice a number of subskills,
which may not be the main focus of the lesson. They will also revisit previous skills that, again, will
not necessarily be the main focus of the lesson. The teacher booklet list gives you a more complete
picture of what is being studied
• The list can be used to support any reporting that you have to do (e.g., for students or for admin
purposes)
• It also allows you to navigate a pathway through the course content for those classes where you do
not want to (or do not have the time to) cover everything. The learning objectives enable you to see
quickly the language functions that are most relevant to your students

The GSE Teacher Toolkit


This is a free online database that gives you easy access to all the GSE Learning Objectives, GSE
Grammar, GSE Vocabulary and the GSE Text Analyzer (to estimate the GSE level of a written text).
Access the database at https://www.english.com/gse/teacher-toolkit/user/lo.
The GSE Teacher Toolkit is a searchable database that will save you time when planning lessons:
• Explore GSE Learning Objectives that are at the same level as your coursebook – to make lessons
relevant to your particular students or to provide additional practice at the appropriate level of
proficiency
• Search the GSE Grammar database to find lesson plans and worksheets that supplement the
grammar in your coursebook – as additional or remedial practice
• Examine the GSE Vocabulary database by topic to find additional vocabulary items and phrases
• Cut and paste a reading text into the GSE Text Analyzer to check that it is at the right level of
challenge for your students

For each learning objective we indicate whether a statement is from the original CEFR or newly created
