Teaching Notes
Welcome to the Burlington Professional Modules series. Each of the Burlington Professional Modules
consists of a Student’s Book, a Workbook and a Teacher’s Resource Book.
The Student’s Book consists of 20 units, the topics of which have been carefully chosen to reflect specialised
areas pertinent to specific career paths. Each unit presents useful functional language and topic-based
vocabulary in a variety of authentic situations which your students may be expected to encounter in the
workplace.
Each unit is divided into two sections of two pages each. Each two-page section is structured as follows:
• A short reading in the style of various authentic texts (for example: adverts, brochures, websites and
notices) followed by comprehension questions.
• A situational dialogue using clearly marked functional language followed by comprehension questions.
• A variety of engaging vocabulary exercises in work-related contexts.
• Tip! boxes that provide information on the use of everyday language, as well as additional cultural
information.
• A Your Turn feature which alternates between a listening activity and a speaking activity. Both activities
exploit the functional language as well as the topic vocabulary, and provide students with the opportunity
to practise new words and language skills.
The Student’s Book also includes a Vocabulary Builder covering the unit vocabulary and a Writing Guide.
The Workbook consists of three sections:
• Practice of vocabulary and functional language by unit.
• An optional grammar section including grammar charts and exercises.
• Writing plan pages with useful language boxes.
The Teacher’s Resource Book consists of answer keys for the Student’s Book and Workbook, listening
scripts of the Your Turn listening feature in the Student’s Book, photocopiable tests together with their
answer keys and additional unit-based speaking and writing tasks.
Using the Student’s Book

1. Read the unit title with the class and ask students what type of information they expect to cover in this
unit.
2. Before starting each two-page section, refer students to the relevant page in the Vocabulary Builder.
Each unit has its own categorised vocabulary list covering all the vocabulary presented in the unit, as
well as a bank of additional words for stronger students. Check that your students know this vocabulary
and translate any items that they don’t know. Students can write the translation of the vocabulary items
in the spaces provided, creating a glossary of all the vocabulary covered in the book.
3. Read or listen to the text. Also read the Tip! box, if there is one. Ask students to answer the questions
about the text. If you wish, you can give your students a time limit before checking their answers in
class.
4. Before listening to the dialogue, read the instructions. Then tell students to listen to the dialogue, paying
attention to the functional language in colour. Ask students to complete the exercise.
5. Tell students to practise the dialogue in pairs. You may wish to ask for volunteers to act out this dialogue
in class.
6. Tell students to read the dialogue again and to complete the exercise that follows. Then check the
answers together with the students.
7. Tell students they are going to work on the vocabulary from the unit list. Each unit has a variety of
exercise types, including picture-based exercises, multiple choice, gapped sentences and definitions,
as well as authentic mini-texts such as adverts, posters, brochures and e-mails. Ask students to
complete an exercise, then check their answers in class. Make sure you read through and explain any
Tip! boxes that appear on this page. Remind students that there is a full vocabulary list at the back of
the book.
8. Explain to students that at the end of each two-page section, there is a Your Turn feature, which gives
them the opportunity to use the language they have learned in an authentic situation. At the end of the
first section, this is a listening exercise. Tell students to listen to the recording and to complete the task.
4
9. Before starting the second two-page section of the unit, you may wish to revise vocabulary items and
functional language from the previous section, especially if there has been an interval of some days between
teaching these two sections. Once again, refer students to the vocabulary list at the back of the book before
starting the second section of the unit.
10. At the end of the second section, the students will practise the language they have learned in this unit in
an authentic speaking situation in the Your Turn feature. This often requires students to refer to information
provided at the back of the book, and to complete a short task such as taking notes or completing a form.
11. At the end of the unit, check for a reference to the Writing Task in the Writing Guide. This reference appears
in most units but not all. Tell students to read the writing model and to answer the questions. This will help
them focus on the type of information that should be included in each writing task. In order to complete
the task, refer students to the Writing Plan pages in the Workbook. Together with the Writing Plan and
Useful Language feature in the Workbook, the Writing Guide forms a structured and comprehensive writing
programme for your students.
Using the Workbook

At the end of each unit of the Student’s Book, you will find a reference to the Workbook. Exercises in the Workbook
provide students with the opportunity to practise both the unit vocabulary and the functional language. In addition,
there is an optional Grammar Practice section containing clear grammar charts as well as contextualised grammar
exercises. This allows students to practise grammar structures while again revising unit vocabulary.
Using the Teacher’s Resource Book

The Teacher’s Resource Book contains materials that enrich and expand on the materials presented in the
Student’s Book and Workbook.
The Teacher’s Resource Book contains:
1. Answer Keys for the Student’s Book and Workbook.
2. Listening scripts of the Your Turn listening feature in the Student’s Book. These allow you to create extra
activities of your own should you wish to do so.
3. Photocopiable tests. The tests are structured so teachers can test their students after every two units,
midway through the course and at the end of the course. Each test is scored out of 100 and covers Reading
Comprehension, Vocabulary, Functional Language and Listening Comprehension.
4. Additional Speaking and Writing tasks. Like the tasks in the Student’s Book, these additional tasks reflect the
Student’s Book units and practise the vocabulary and functional language pertinent to each unit.
