Objectives<br />

unit 1<br />

The fi rst unit offers information about various aspects concerning languages. Th<strong>is</strong> information allows further<br />

refl ection and investigation.<br />

It can be studied in two ways.<br />

1 You can read and d<strong>is</strong>cuss the information in class gui<strong>de</strong>d by your teacher.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> will result in:<br />

- mastery of new vocabulary related to th<strong>is</strong> topic<br />

- information on languages <strong>de</strong>pending on the materials studied in class<br />

- reading and l<strong>is</strong>tening comprehension practice<br />

- speaking and writing practice<br />

2 You can be asked to study and explore the topic in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>ntly in small groups.<br />

If the in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt learning option <strong>is</strong> taken, the class <strong>is</strong> divi<strong>de</strong>d into fi ve subgroups, of which the number<br />

of participants <strong>de</strong>pends on the number of stu<strong>de</strong>nts in your class (e.g. a class of 20 stu<strong>de</strong>nts results in<br />

groups of 4 stu<strong>de</strong>nts each).<br />

Each group studies one of the topics.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> procedure will result in a presentation for the classmates. Not every member of the group needs to<br />

do part of the presentation of a particular topic, but every member of the team must help to prepare<br />

the presentation the team has been working on.<br />

However, in the course of the term or the school year every stu<strong>de</strong>nt of the class must have done a<br />

presentation on one topic or the other.<br />

Personal investigation practice<br />

If you <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong> to explore one of the topics further individually, or in pairs, you will have to take a number<br />

of steps.<br />

- Ask yourself a number of questions to which you want to fi nd the answers.<br />

- Look for and study information in books, magazines, the Internet, interviews, ...<br />

- Select relevant information.<br />

- Summarize th<strong>is</strong> information in your own words as answers to your original questions.<br />

- Prepare an oral presentation for your classmates, including a PowerPoint presentation, if appropriate.<br />

- Do the presentation.<br />

- Answer questions asked by your classmates or the teacher or d<strong>is</strong>cuss opinions put forward by classmates or<br />

the teacher.<br />

A CONCISE HISTORY OF ENGLISH<br />

LITERATURE UP TO THE 20TH unit 6<br />

CENTURY<br />

Engl<strong>is</strong>h Literature to the time of Chaucer<br />

To the Norman Conquest<br />

De leerlingen maken uitgebreid kenn<strong>is</strong> met het werk van<br />

één of enkele auteurs uit verschillen<strong>de</strong> cultuurperio<strong>de</strong>s:<br />

When the Romans started to conquer Britain in AD 43<br />

during Emperor Claudius’ reign, the country had already<br />

been inva<strong>de</strong>d twice by Julius Caesar, in 55 and 54 BC.<br />

Th e Romans faced Celtic tribes, who had lived on the<br />

<strong>is</strong>land (and on the main land) for more than 1,000 years.<br />

Celts were to be found throughout Europe occupying land<br />

stretching as far as Scotland in the north and Gallatia in<br />

what <strong>is</strong> now Turkey and Northern Italy in the south. Th ere<br />

was a unifying language spoken by the Celts, called Old<br />

Celtic, which later resulted in a variety of dialects, some of<br />

which are still spoken in Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany in France.<br />

In the 5th and 6th centuries AD Germanic tribes, Angles, Saxons and Jutes<br />

inva<strong>de</strong>d the country, pushing the original inhabitants to the outskirts of the<br />

<strong>is</strong>land. Th e languages they brought along were so diff erent from mo<strong>de</strong>rn<br />

Engl<strong>is</strong>h that they are impossible to be un<strong>de</strong>rstood by the mo<strong>de</strong>rn rea<strong>de</strong>r.<br />

Th ese dialects are commonly called Old Engl<strong>is</strong>h.<br />

Th e literature called “Anglo-Saxon” was that of these Teutonic tribes, which<br />

were fi erce, warlike and pagan. Yet two centuries later, when their writings<br />

began to appear, they had ceased to be pirates and had become settlers<br />

and farmers. Th ey had also been Chr<strong>is</strong>tianized and enjoyed the protection<br />

of law. Monks in the monasteries wrote in Latin mostly, but also in the<br />

Engl<strong>is</strong>h of the day. One of them was Venerable Be<strong>de</strong> (673-735), the most<br />

learned man of h<strong>is</strong> day and famous throughout Europe.<br />

Th e language which the Anglo Saxons spoke had strong stresses on certain<br />

syllables and was highly infl ected, like Latin. Since subject and object in<br />

the sentence e.g. can be recognized by their diff erent ending (pater – vs.<br />

patrem, or agricola vs. agricolam in Latin) the wordor<strong>de</strong>r in the sentence<br />

could be altered. (Agricola vidit patrem meum and Patrem meum vidit<br />

agricola means exactly the same thing: Th e farmer sees my father.) Th e<br />

The fi rst part of Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner (2003) <strong>is</strong> set in Afghan<strong>is</strong>tan from the late<br />

1970s to 1981 and the start of the Soviet occupation.<br />

The next part takes us to the Afghan community in Fremont, California covering the period from<br />

the 1980s to the early 2000s. The last part <strong>is</strong> set in Afghan<strong>is</strong>tan during the Taliban regime.<br />

The novel <strong>de</strong>rives its name from an ancient Afghan hobby of duelling with kites. It involves midair<br />

duels between rivals. Kite fl yers attempt to down their adversary’s kite. When the opponent’s<br />

kite has been downed, the duel turns into a race, the kite run, to see who retrieves the fallen kite. In<br />

the story Hassan <strong>is</strong> a successful “kite runner” for Amir – the narrator of the story. Hassan, a servant<br />

to Amir’s father, knows where the kite will land without even watching it.<br />

language learning<br />

Leerlingen verwerven uiteraard doorheen <strong>de</strong> units heel wat woor<strong>de</strong>nschat én oefenen ook voortdurend <strong>de</strong> vaardighe<strong>de</strong>n.<br />

Maar daarnaast moeten ze ook blijven werken aan correct taalgebruik en uitbreiding van hun grammaticaal kennen en<br />

kunnen. Daarom twee extra units in het werkboek: unit 0 en 8!<br />

Vooraleer te starten met <strong>de</strong> thema’s, krijgen <strong>de</strong> leerlingen in <strong>de</strong> eerste unit (unit 0: Brushing up your Engl<strong>is</strong>h) een assessmentoefening<br />

waarmee ze nagaan waar ze staan op het gebied van hun kennen en kunnen, gevolgd door remedial exerc<strong>is</strong>es.<br />

In <strong>de</strong> laatste unit (unit 8: Exploring Engl<strong>is</strong>h) zijn<br />

grammaticale on<strong>de</strong>rwerpen samengebracht die <strong>de</strong><br />

leerlingen zelfstandig kunnen verwerken:<br />

• Reflexive Pronouns and Causative Use of ‘to have’<br />

• Phrasal Verbs<br />

• Adverb Clauses: contrast and concession<br />

• Adverb Clauses: time and reason clauses<br />

and participle structures<br />

• Bare Infinitive and To-Infinitive<br />

• Gerund and To-Infinitive<br />

Do th<strong>is</strong> test. Tick the correct forms or sentences.<br />
